, for example, Stewart is more than capable of spreading the floor. She’s a career 37 percent shooter from 3-point range and can handle the ball on the perimeter as well. Even though she’d never be described as a playmaker, Stewart has always had a positive assist-to-turnover ratio and possesses an excellent feel for moving the ball.
