+40 (#199 to #159)

Lewis, a guard out of the Middlesex School, jumped 40 spots in this rankings update. The 6’3″ guard had a strong showing during the scholastic period, impressing with his ability to score it at multiple levels, make plays in transition, and utilize his athleticism as a scorer and playmaker. The lefty does a nice job of knocking down shots in catch and shoot situations, has the ability to attack the rim off the bounce, and can even operate as a secondary playmaker. Defensively, his physical tools allow him to play at a high level, guarding any spot on the perimeter and keeping the ball out of the paint.

I LOVE the way Jules Lewis Jules Lewis 6'3" | SF Middlesex School | 2026 State New E plays the game. He was the best slip cutter I saw at the entire showcase. He understands when and how to slip against switches and reads his defender perfectly in those situations. He’s also an improved ball-handler and creator since the last time I saw him, and he has some athletic pop at the rim when he gets all the way there. He can shoot it from three, too. Lewis should be on the radar of high D3 coaches and I think he’ll have an opportunity to really raise his stock this season with more offensive responsibility and more opportunity to make plays with the ball in his hands.

A long lean athletic frame. Makes terrific accurate passes with one hand even opposite while in transition. He is capable of holding his ground on defense against stronger opponents. Offensively, this is what he can bring to the table, shoots from deep, handles the ball as a shooting guard and terrrific vision avoiding double teams/immense pressure feeding the ball to an open teammate. Has put on good weight since two years ago.

Lewis, a talented scorer out of the Middlesex School, cracks the rankings at #210, marking his first appearance on this list.

The lefty can make shots in the mid-range and continues to expand his range out to the three. Defensively, he’s really good off the ball, creating a high number of steals and deflections.
