A lot has been made about comparing Detroit Pistons rookie center Isaiah Stewart to former Pistons great Ben Wallace. However, his game might be closer to another legendary center (who did not play for Detroit).

There was not a lot of praise heaped on Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver when he made Washington center Isaiah Stewart the 16th overall selection in last year’s NBA Draft.

Most mock drafts had Stewart going in the 20s. He was short for a center at 6-foot-8 and been mostly a low-post player with the Huskies.
