Duke Basketball: New leader emerges in battle for 2019 C Isaiah Stewart

Isaiah Stewart has all the potential to be some program’s all-time greatest big man — even if only for one season and even if he chooses to be a Duke basketball player.

The five-star 2019 center, who ranks No. 6 on the 247Sports Composite, has drawn comparisons to a host of former Blue Devils: Elton Brand due to his 7-foot-5 wingspan and soft touch around the rim, Shelden Williams for his broad shoulders and shot-blocking excellence, and Marvin Bagley III because of his quick hops in the paint and his deer-like mobility in transition.
