The class if 2019 is loaded with high quality bigs and a lot of them have good hands, but I don't think I could say with a straight face that anybody's are better than Isaiah Stewart's. In fact, he's got some of the best hands I've seen since Kevin Love graduated high school back in 2007.
Not only that, Stewart is a true competitor. It was pretty clear that he was gassed after arriving at the Peach Jam from winning a gold at the FIBA U17 World Cup with USA Basketball. But there was no sitting for him and he made it very clear to me that he didn't ever want anybody to think he ducked competition. Nobody would accuse him of that after averaging 19 points and 12.7 rebounds. Look for him to chop his list of 10 finalists -- Duke, Georgetown, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Texas, Villanova and Washington -- to five in the near future.

ISAIAH STEWART II | CITY ROCKS (NY)
Peach Jam stats: 19.0 PPG, 53.5 FG%, 84.6 FT%, 12.7 RPG, 1.4 BPG, 1.3 APG (4-2 record)
Honestly, it's hard to play much better than Isaiah Stewart played at Peach Jam. The City Rocks' heart and soul was impeccable for head coach Jim Hart, averaging 19 points and 13 rebounds over six games played. He helped lift the Rocks to bracket play, and his individual performance of 24 points and 12 rebounds almost helped them upset eventual champion Team Takeover. Stewart is now being considered a top-five talent nationally, and his college decision is going to massively change a program for the better.

Real shocker here on Cyrstal Ball ($$$) -
At 6-foot-9 and 245 pounds, Stewart has the brawn and build to bang inside with the best of them. And he certainly does that well. But as Daniels said, Stewart is more than just a few-feet-and-in type of player. “Isaiah is one of my favorite players in this class because of the energy he plays with,” Daniels said. “He consistently plays hard and with great effort. He’s a tremendous rebounder, strong, tough, physical with good hands and soft touch. This spring, he’s made an adjustment to his shot mechanics and has extended his range, even out to three. But the main value to him is his toughness and just how physical he is around the basket.” Stewart is the No. 2 center in the 247Sports Composite.
247Sports Crystal Ball: Duke (90 percent), Texas (10)

What’s everyones guesses at his final 5 anyways? I’d say Syracuse, Duke, Michigan State, Notre Dame as four, just not sure on the fifth.

Five-star big man Isaiah Stewart visited Georgetown last weekend, which will likely be the last visit he takes prior to the publishing of his final list. Currently down to a group of 10, the Hoyas have remained a factor in his recruitment. I am not totally sure that they make his final list of schools. Even if they do, Duke, Michigan State and Villanova may be the three to beat as the fall months approach. Indiana, Texas, and Notre Dame are strongly in contention, too, as is the local Syracuse program, but I do not see Georgetown as the ultimate destination for Stewart. He is intrigued by the idea of learning under the tutelage of Patrick Ewing, but that might not be enough to get the Hoyas over the hump for the elite power forward.
