Stewart is listed as 6'1, which means hes probably 6'0 and Cook is definitely not 6 feet tall.

Just saying it's not an ideal scenario, Stewart also will have some time trying to adjust from playing in a mid-major conference to the SEC I bet. He played 2 major conference teams last year in DePaul and Cal who were both pretty terrible and he was shut down bad in both those games.

You just have to go with more size at the 2 spot if Cook is playing the 1. I'm not saying Stewart and cook wouldnt be on the court ever at same time, but it's hard to see them both starting and playing together for long periods. Especially when you have a guy like Wright who has played a ton of minutes in the SEC and if Ward takes a leap you have Wilk/Ward vying for minutes to between 2/3ish.

Either way I think it's a moot point because Cook doesnt seem like he'll be playing this year with how the NCAA has been ruling on these 2nd time transfers who arent graduates recently. Which really puts a huge wrench into this team short of guys like Ward taking HUGE leaps to pick up the slack.

It was clear last year that better shooting would have won 5-6 more games. I think we will be a better shooting team this year and Ward having more confidence will take a big step. He showed flashes of it near the end of last season. If Reed can cut down the TO's he will be difficult to guard. Also I think Baker brings more to the table than we had in the center position. Especially with his understanding of the pick and roll/pop. I do think we have something to look forward to this season and hopefully MM will show a better product on the floor. Defense will be the unknown but we all know that is more an effort thing than anything else.
