Continue ReadingOne of Cincinnati’s most promising point guards is Shroder’s 5’11” junior Stevie Stewart. For Stewart, his sophomore season numbers do the talking. After averaging 11.4 points, 4.1 assists, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 steals, he was the only underclassmen to earn 1st Team honors in the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference (CMAC).
Coming into his junior season, he’s looking to take the next step.
“I’m trying to make Player of the Year in the conference. And just have a good record, because last year our record wasn’t that good. I’m trying to show everyone we’ve been working,” Stewart said.
The accolades and statistics jump off the page, but it’s the second part of that answer which fuels Stewart. Both his AAU and high school coaches rave about how passionate of a competitor Stewart is.
“If you’re not going to play the game to win it, there’s no point in playing it … I hate losing, so I go 100% on the court,” Stewart said.
This will to win is reflective in his playing style.
“I’m an aggressive point guard. I like getting to the basket more than shooting. And I like playing defense, full-court pressure. Putting my team in place, being a captain on the court,” Stewart said, when asked to describe his game.
“I’m a motivational person. If I see one of my players down, I’ll help them.”
However, Stewart still believes he could take his game to another level. He’s been spending most of his time working on grades and being in the gym every day. He specifically talked about how adding more consistency to the jumper would be ideal.
While those areas of his resume could be improved, it seems to simply be a matter of time before Stewart’s recruitment process begins. Surprisingly, no college programs have made an inquiry on Stewart thus far. For coaches interested in a hard-nosed point guard, it may be time to make that first impression.
