Yahoo Sports Commentary
Lewis Jr. is the quickest guard in the draft. He closed out last season well, averaging 22.8 points per game in his last 10 games. He is a high-volume shooter who averaged nearly 15 shots per game for Alabama. Lewis Jr. can get up and down in transition and once he gets hot, he'll let it fly from all over the court.
