Here’s what HoopsHype has to say about Lewis:

“Even though he played two years in college basketball, the incredibly speedy guard Kira Lewis is young for his class and only recently turned 19 years old. He showed incredible development during his sophomore season at Alabama, averaging 18.5 points to go with 5.2 assists per game.”

There’s no doubt that Lewis’ NBA career will be exciting to watch.

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 post on Twitter.

The NBA draft is scheduled to be held on Friday, Oct. 16, but Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on any changes that may occur due to the ongoing coronavirus.
