DJ Steward: 'If I was in college right now, I could probably be dominating'
DJ Steward, a former five-star recruit and a rising star for the Maine Celtics, the G League affiliate of Boston Celtics, has been on a tear recently averaging 27.2 points and 6.2 assists in his last eight games with a 7-1 record. Steward could have stayed in school and would be a senior for Duke Blue Devils, however, he decided to forgo his college eligibility so he could develop in the G League. After an impressive summer league performance with the Philadelphia 76ers, he received a training camp deal with Boston, which landed him in Maine.
Steward sat down with HoopsHype to chat about his experience at Duke, his journey in the G League, and how he has developed his game while navigating through the challenges of adjusting to professional basketball at such a young age.
