Lewis was a player we liked over the course of the last 2 summers, and seeing him again at The Expo only strengthened our confidence in what he’s ready to do at Legend this season. He was one of the event’s most consistent scorers and players, showing the ability to knock down shots from all three levels while staying aggressive and attacking opportunities. He also brought that same edge to the defensive end, competing at the point of attack and taking his assignment seriously. Add in his willingness to make the extra pass and play within the team, and there’s a lot to like about Lewis heading into this season

Lewis has put together multiple outings over the Summer and now that lets me know that he’s much higher than we have him ranked and with our update coming up, he’ll be a player who certainly rises. He’s one of the better plug and play prospects in the state as I feel that he makes others around him better, he plays the right way and he can adapt to whatever the game calls for him. He’s the right kind of aggressive as he can score. He hits 3s, gets to his mid range shot and can finish with either hand in traffic. We saw plays where he would call for the screen and hit the corner and either finish or kick it out to a guy, he controls pace, finds game and had a few off ball cuts for layups as well. He’s a high IQ guard who has solid feel and he’s not just forcing the action. Solid day for him where he proved that he’s better than we thought. He benefitted from getting out to the event.

Lewis gets a change of scenery and a great opportunity at The Expo to put on full display what we’ve seen from him over the summers. He’s a quick, athletic guard who plays with pace and can put points on the board in a hurry. His ability to attack the paint is a major part of his game, as he uses his speed to get downhill and create problems for defenders. The Expo gives Lewis a chance to take that attacking style into a high level setting, test himself against quality guards and show that his athleticism and scoring ability translate against tougher competition. This could be a big opportunity for Lewis to gain major traction and make a statement heading into the season at a new school

It feels like we don’t get to see much of Justin at all, but when he plays, he’s good. This week at PHTuneUpCO, he played with precision. He’s decisive with the ball and makes the right reads, he plays within the flow of the offense, and when the offense gets stagnant, he’s who alters things and makes plays happen. I like that he makes the extra pass, as that is not something that you see too often in these setting and it becomes contagious. It keeps the defense guessing. He was getting inside the defense, handling the ball in transition, and finishing. He’s a player who I feel will have a big season for Legend as he’s multi-dimensional and just different than what they have. Another solid outing for him.

Lewis earned his debut spot in the rankings after standing out defensively this summer. He’s a long, athletic, and instinctive player who can impact the game with his defensive work. He disrupts plays, jumps into passing lanes for steals, and turns defense into offense. His quickness and strength allow him to guard multiple positions and impact winning and that will be asked of him this season. Offensively, he thrives in transition and knocks down mid-range shots. With continued defensive focus, Lewis could become an invaluable two-way piece for East and easily makes his debut on the rankings.

Lewis was a pest on defense during the showcase and that kind of play seperates you in a showcase. His instincts and ability to play the passing lanes set the tone. He rebounded effectively, pushed the break, and used his size and strength as a slasher. Offensively, he played a balanced game, but his defensive chops stood out most. His versatility was on full display at the event as a player to keep an eye on.

Lewis brings length, upside, and mobility, with the ability to run the floor and anchor the interior defensively. At the showcase, we’ll be looking for him to use that size and athleticism to control the paint. Want to see him protecting the rim, finishing strong, and showing how his motor translates in transition. Lastly with his strong defensive presence, consistent rebounding and efficient offense he’ll leave a strong impression
