Check this scouting video on him:
Look at those gorgeous scooping layups! Look at that hang time! He just seems to find ways to stay up in the air longer than his opponent, and he can get some great separation because of that. His drive and dish game is strong, which would be good for a perimeter starved team.
His game is up and down right now, looking at his splits for this season.
The big difference between W's and L's is his efficiency. They're both split pretty evenly, with 16 W's and 15 L's. Over this 16 wins, he shot a blazing 46% from 3 on 4.1 attempts. In L's, he shoots 30% on 5.8 attempts. In fact, the numbers suggest that when he's not shooting well then he forces shots, and a lot more of them, and that likely kills the flow of the offense - because most other stats are consistent across the board.
Here are Donovan Mitchell's sophomore splits, for comparison. Similarly big gulfs between W's and L's, but Lewis' numbers are more impressive offensively, in general.
Lewis reminds me of some kind of Fox/Mitchell fusion. His TO's are way too high across the board, but that could be lightened if he's sharing playmaking with Fultz. But most of all, the kid looks like a natural scorer with strong enough handles to get where he wants, and a developing perimeter shot.
He has now become my early call for steal of the draft. The Mitchell/SGA of this draft.
If WeHam chose a 6’3 combo guard I’d be absolutely shocked. That being said, I think Lewis has a chance to be a solid player.
Hmm, I'd read he was 6'5 early on, and everything since has him listed at 6'3. So he's a 1, on defense at least.
They could give him a look with DJ becoming a FA and Evan's future free agency. Lewis off the bench year 1, running 2nd unit. See if he looks good enough to replace either of Fultz or Fournier.
The kid looks very promising, too. He's also very young for his year, and younger than most of the Freshman in this draft class. He only just turned 19 a couple weeks ago.
Yeah, I’m getting higher on Kira the more video on draft prospects I watch. I like Lewis, Maxey, Mannion, and Terry as somewhat realistic options for Orlando. I’d hope the FO doesn’t make the pick with their draft bias of length and measurements over skill if these players on are the board.
. And he took like 10 mid range jumpers whole year because of his jumpshot issues off dribble.
