His agent is horrible. Had him sign a terrible contract.

Umm...yeah...Im aware.
My question is... why is a mediocre prospect with average skills and subpar awareness, that was subpar in college as an older Freshman, went undrafted, and had a bad Rookie year being treated as "Missed Opportunity" prospect that NBA GM's just missed on?

Is it because he had a hot 6 game playoffs with a TS of 45%, more than twice as many turnovers as assist, and fouled 3 times as much as accrued STOCKS (Blocks + Steals)?

Please... explain.

I think the attn is because he cause a league MVP candidate to lay a terd


He had a great steal rate, which is usually a good indicator for how hard a player plays defense. Everyone overlooks players with potential. Which is why everyone is going to regret passing on Kira Lewis guaranteed. If there was a normal draft process Lewis would be jumping up boards.

Just because there are more polarizing guards like Ball and Hayes consistently mocked and ranked higher by bs media outlets and to some degree Haliburton and Cole Anthony doesnt mean any orgs are sleeping on Lewis as a potential top 15 guard. I think if anything it will come down to him or Cole that is the 4th pg off the board but he could easily go 7th to Detroit even though 15 to Orlando or dropping to the Denver utah range is typical

To me because the PG class is so deep they should be off the board pretty quickly because you’re more likely to get a steal drafting a PG. I think a lot of the time mock drafts try to be fair by spreading the love to each position, but the reality is bigs aren’t that important and PGs are deep this year. Drafting a PG if you’re looking for a steal makes the most sense. I can see the lottery full of PGs.
