Micheal Stewart

[Bos3332@aol.com]

Ray has been talking about Michael Stewart as maybe our best option as a
center. He can block shots for sure, and at times digs rebounds. Has anyone
seen him play? How good at defense is he? Can he defend the centers in this
leauge and give us enough presence in the post?

He's young enough to grow with us if he worked out, we could have him for a
while, and he hopefully has enough youth in his legs to run our system. What
do you all think that have seen him?
