Lewis rose up draft boards during his Sophomore year at Pepperdine, and even had lottery pick buzz for portions of the season. However, his draft stock slid back down as the season went on, particularly due to concerns about his effort and ability to impact games outside of scoring. He was picked by the Lakers with the 40th pick in the 2023 draft, and those concerns are still valid a year into his career. At 6'7" with a 7'0" wingspan, Lewis has good size and length for an NBA wing. He is a little slight though, and could benefit from adding some strength. He's a great athlete, using his quick twitch to beat defenders off the dribble, and his explosiveness to finish above the rim. He has the ability to create for himself and score at multiple levels. He hit 35% of his 3s in college and in the G-League as a rookie, which is solid considering a good amount of them are off-the-dribble, self-created looks. Lewis' playmaking for others could use a lot of work. He isn't a natural passer, as scoring is his first instinct most of the time. He had a negative assist to turnover ratio in college, and an even one in the G-League as a rookie. Defensively, Lewis has a long way to go to become a positive defender at the NBA level. His lack of strength will hurt him against bigger wings, and force him to mostly defend guards. He isn't always attentive on defense, not making the right rotations or losing his man off-ball. He can use his athleticism to get some steals and blocks, but often gambles and gets out of position. Lewis will still only be 22 years old as a potential free agent in 2025. He has some real skills and some physical gifts, but needs to round out his game more to become someone that NBA teams can rely on to contribute on a nightly basis.
