Sean Stewart Scouting Summary

Sean Stewart is a strong and explosive player. He plays with a tenacity around the boards and in the paint. At 6-8, Stewart is a good rebounder, in and out of area, on both ends of the floor. He can move his feet on defense and plays with a motor that seems to never stop running. Stewart’s offensive game is currently limited to 10 feet and in, with lobs and rim runs. While he is a tough interior defender, he is not a rim protector. Stewart brings great energy to the floor and his coaches rave about his leadership.

Jared McCain wins 3-point contest

Duke five-star combo guard commit Jared McCain put on an electric performance during the McDonald’s All-American Game 3-point contest, winning the contest with 27 points.

“Right when I got started, I just felt nice,” McCain said on ESPNU after the contest. “Get the first misses out and then I felt good all the rest.”
