Alabama’s Kira Lewis Jr. continues to climb up the rankings in many 2020 NBA mock drafts as well as rankings. Bleacher Report released a list of the “Top 50 players” in the 2020 NBA Draft, and Kira Lewis is 18th.
According to Bleacher Report:
“Speed and breakdown ability off the dribble are Lewis’ bankable strengths that will carry over. His thin frame and lack of explosion for separating and finishing, plus questionable decision-making, are holes that will create an uphill climb to reaching quality NBA starter status. At the least, he should carve out a change-of-pace playmaker role.”
Analysts continue to applaud Lewis’ speed, ability to move the ball and his ability to make big plays. Most mock drafts have Lewis being drafted anywhere between 15th and 29th.
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 Friday, Oct. 16, but Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on if that changed due to the coronavirus.
