Stewart hauled in 15 rebounds in his first two games with the Pistons with a handful more coming Friday in a win over the Boston Celtics. Of his 20 total rebounds to this point, 12 have come on the offensive end of the floor with his activity and positioning reminding head coach Dwane Casey of a former Pistons legend and Hall of Famer. “He is a young Dennis Rodman type,” Casey said this week. “I’m not going to call him Dennis Rodman but that type of mentality of going and getting the ball. He is active. He doesn’t stop just because you box him out. He continues to move and move his feet in a legal way. A lot of times, young players will grab and hold, he does it with his feet and his intensity. It’s great to see, that’s who he is.”
James Edwards III: Isaiah Stewart on vibe he got from Detroit during interviews: “When I met with them … it was definitely different. Troy and Coach Casey told me their vision and what they wanted to do. They felt I fit their vision and I felt that way, too.”
James Edwards III: FINAL: Pistons 96, Celtics 93. Detroit gets its first win of the season. The “compete” meter reads correct. Jerami Grant: 24 points Saddiq Bey: 17p and 6r Derrick Rose: 17p, 5r and 4a Josh Jackson: 11p Svi: 9p Isaiah Stewart: 8p and 6r
Omari Sanfoka II: Dwane Casey said Isaiah Stewart would’ve benefited from having the G League this year, since there are two veteran centers on the roster. He’ll still play this season, though. “He’s going to have some time on the court because of his energy and rebounding and defense.”
