Prospect Profile

Lewis is an interesting prospect who spent the recent season in the G League playing for the Mexico City Capitanes at just 19 years old. He originally had declared for the 2024 NBA Draft, but ultimately withdrew before the early entry deadline to pivot his focus to the 2025 NBA Draft. Prior to that, he earned a G League Elite Camp invite where he was able to further showcase his talent to NBA scouts and decision makers.

With good size and length at 6-foot-8, Lewis could develop into a very dynamic NBA player on day. Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, he has improved tremendously in recent years. Though his numbers didn't jump off the page in the G League, the experience of playing against professionals was extremely valuable. Lewis proved to be a quality 3-point shooter and underrated handler of the ball. He projects to be a combo forward at the next level who can impact the game on both ends.

Though he still has much room for improvement, Lewis' baseline tools, motor and athleticism should keep NBA teams optimistic on his outlook. He will need to become more disciplined on both ends, which will come with time.

Regardless, he's a player to keep an eye on ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft as a potential riser.
