Here’s Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart on priding himself as an elite rim protector (averaging a career-high 1.4 BPG).
(via Detroit Pistons):
“I’m embracing it every single game. From the very start of the first day where JB [Bickerstaff] came in as head coach and talked about how his bigs need to defend the rim – I took that very seriously. Every single night I strive to be the best shot blocker, best rim protector, best defensive player out there on the floor. Truly in my heart, I feel I am the best defensive player in this league.”
