SEPTEMBER 30: Steward’s contract with Boston is now official, according to RealGM’s transaction log.
AUGUST 12: The Celtics have reached an agreement on a training camp contract with former Duke guard DJ Steward, tweets ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Sources tell Wojnarowski that Steward will be given a chance to earn a two-way contract. Boston has one spot open, with JD Davison and Jay Scrubb already holding two-way deals.
Steward signed with the Kings in 2021 and 2022 and wound up in the G League both years. In April, he joined the Vancouver Bandits in the Canadian Elite Basketball League.
The 21-year-old played for the Sixers in the Las Vegas Summer League, where he averaged 16.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in five games.
Steward’s signing will give the Celtics 16 players under contract, five short of the offseason limit.
If this guy was 3 inches taller, he would probably be in the NBA. I like his defensive effort, and he knows how to play
It should be fun when D.J. Steward plays against D.J. Stewart of the L.I. Nets.
With DJ Stewart of the NY Mets watching in the stands
As long as John Williams (hot plate) and John Williams ( Hot Rod) are watching
D.J. made the mistake of believing his high school hype, and thinking he was ready for the NBA after one season of mediocre basketball at Duke.
The problem you have when you go to Duke as a hyped prospect, you got one year to make it happen. After that, the next “one and done” arrives on campus, and you might not have any minutes if you come back.
D.J. is going to battle to be a 10-day contract guy now.
So you’re saying he made a mistake coming out, but if he came back he would have had less minutes at Duke.
Deep thoughts
Transfer
Yes, that would have made him far better.
DJ was absolutely, positively not ready. He is a Chicago kid. Been watching him since 8th grade. He needed another two years of college minimum. He was just ok as a freshman at Duke.
Tatum, Brown, TimeLord, Big Al, DWhite, Brogdon, Porzingis, Hauser, Pritchard, rookie Walsh & Luke makes 11. We open w 15.
From 6’9″ Dalano Banton, 6’7″ Oshae Brissett, 6’3″ JD Davidson, 6’7″ Svi Mykhailiuk, 7′ Neemias Queta, 6’6″Jay Scrubb & 6’2″ DJ Stewart we need 4 more.
I assume Dalano Banton & Oshae Brissett will be two. We need two more. Who will those two be Coach?
What are you talking about lmao. Banton, Brissett, Davidson, Mykhailiuk, Queta, and Scrubb are all going to make the team
