Sean Stewart, who is profiled by the Duke Chronicle here, is sort of a legacy: Grant Hill was a neighbor and Hill jokingly says he “brainwashed” Stewart to come to Duke.
But he’s not here because Hill put in a good word for Stewart with Jon Scheyer and the Duke staff. Stewart is a legitimately talented player who is going to get minutes and who could possibly force his way into the starting lineup.
Stewart has already raised eyebrows: he broke Zion Williamson’s Duke record for a standing vertical at 36 inches.
He’s likely to make his first impact on defense.
