According to this mock draft by Bleacher Report, Lewis would be drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Other mock drafts have Lewis between the 15th-25th overall pick of the draft.
The latest mock draft by Rookie Wire had this to say about Kira:
“Milwaukee played with the fastest pace (105.4) of any team in the NBA this season. The Bucks need players capable of playing fast, and there are few, if any, better in this class than Alabama point guard Kira Lewis. His team played at the fastest tempo among all top-100 teams, per KenPom. Lewis also scored 5.1 points per game in transition, according to Synergy, which ranked among the top 20 of all Division I players. Only the Raptors, meanwhile, finished offensive possessions in transition more often than Milwaukee. Lewis could be the point guard of the future for the Bucks, and he could reach new heights playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. He deserves as much hype as anyone heading into the 2020 NBA draft because of his youth, despite having two years of collegiate experience. After averaging 18.5 points and 5.2 assists per game, he projects well as a lead guard.”
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.
