I happen to think Isaiah Stewart is the ideal target for this team. This team needs length and physicality. They can't match up with teams like Denver.
Stewart fouls too much but he brings the wood physically and he's a versatile switchable defender who doesn't need the ball. He punishes people. He takes open shots just like GWill and DJJ. He's not a center but he can play the 4 and 5. He would certainly start at PF and his 3pt percentage and overall scoring efficiency would go up just like everyone else who plays next to Luka. I wouldn't worry about this team offensively at all. Acquiring Stewart would be about defense, defensive rebounding, size, and toughness.
I'll add, the plan would be to start Stewart next to Lively and GWill. Three guys with good size at 3-4-5, who can set solid screens and defend multiple positions.
