Lewis, Justin  Marquette 6'8" 235 PF soph. 

Lewis impressed us each time we saw him play. He is a well-put-together forward that averaged 16.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game as a sophomore. He shot 34.9% 3-pt FG, and 76.1% FT. He was named First Team All Big East as well as the conference's Most Improved Player. He is a good defensive rebounder and he is aggressive on offense. He is strong and he establishes a wide base when he goes to work in the post.  ...Lewis had more turnovers (62) than assists (54). He has good hands. Lewis has a 7'2.5" wingspan which is part of why his DEFRTG was 1.9 points better than Marquette's team DEFRTG. ...Lewis is intense. He will get on teammates. We think he can be a starting forward in the NBA in time. He needs to make better decisions with the ball and he needs to improve his shot selection which should in turn, raise his perimeter shooting percentages. ...Lewis likely gets taken in the middle of round two. 

 

Our best advice: in 2012, the 37th pick was Quincy Acy. We advised, "draft Will Barton."
