CBS Sports released its latest mock draft and has Kira Lewis as the 15th pick in the first round.

According to CBS Sports, here is why Lewis would be a great fit for the Magic:

“Orlando should consider a point guard in this draft regardless of how the future of Markelle Fultz turns out, and so here I’m giving them Kira Lewis Jr. You’re welcome, Magic fans. You just got the fastest and most underrated point guard in this draft at No. 15 overall. He averaged 18.5 points and 5.2 assists last season for Alabama … and just turned 19 in April.”

Wherever Lewis ends up, there’s no doubt that he will make his mark.

In his two years with the Crimson Tide, Lewis averaged 34.5 minutes and finished with a field goal percentage of 44.7 percent, 1,031 points, 260 assists and 183 turnovers.

He averaged 18.5 points per game, 5.2 assists per game, and made 37% percent of his 3-pointers.

Lewis announced his entry into the NBA draft at the end of March by a heartfelt twitter post.

The NBA draft is scheduled to be held on Thursday, Oct. 15, but Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on if that changed due to the coronavirus.
