If Stewart develops a consistent 3 he has a future as a 4. He has great feet/lateral quickness to defend on the perimeter so guarding 4s wouldn’t be an issue at all .
The question is will he develop that and even if he does do you want him over Bagley who doesn’t play D but is perfect for Cade on offense .
If Stewart doesn’t develop a three he’s a high level bench big .

They have been experimenting with stew and bagley together
Yep. The idea is that if one or both can get consistent 3pt range then they can play them for a best of both worlds situation on offense and defense.
Also could be them pre testing to see how one of the top three big men could fit.

Everybody don’t have to be a 3 point shooter. Stewart needs to be a double double threat and play good defense.

Bagley a pretty gifted offensive player. Think his shot will definitely develop before Stewarts. Really believe Bagley can start if they get a defensive center. Whether signing Mitchell Robinson , drafting Chet, Duran or Mark Williams with Portland pick. Cade just looks more comfortable with Bagley in the game. Bagley not Stewart needs the Ben Wallace mentorship. Doesn’t make sense to have Bagley size and athleticism but be such a poor defender. Bagley has size to play center. Chet/Bagley lineup could work too
He still defends with his hands and his anticipation is piss poor. It’ll be years before bagley can be a good center if it’s possible

I believe the story was Joe wanted Jon Amechi who the magic wouldn’t give up and he settled for Ben. And i just looked up Ben stats and he was getting 25-30 minutes a game
Not his first couple of years in the league. First real minutes was the year before he joined the Pistons.
I have no idea who John Amaechi is

If you’re not a shooter you can’t play the 4 and Stewart isn’t a 5 you can win with (starting) He’s just too small. Unless he’s paired with a guy at the 4 that erases those shortcomings like a Mobley type .
if I had to choose rn I’d take Bagley over Stew
