Lewis is a strong option in the post. His offensive skill set is still rounding out but plays extremely hard. He has good bounce around the rim and rebounds the basketball. Lewis is a rim protector who changes / alters shots.

Lewis was productive at the elbows and with his back to the basket. He showed strong footwork with his back to the basket, which allowed him to score with jump hooks over either shoulder. Lewis is also a capable of slashing and finishing at the rim, when the defense does not close out properly. His skill set and productivity elevate him in the conversation of some of the best power forwards nationally.

Lewis has a large frame & showed the ability to finish with his back to the basket today – with both hands. He doesn’t have elite athleticism, which could ultimately put a lid on his ceiling. He doesn’t run particularly well, but he is physically imposing. He is big through the shoulders & biceps.

Lewis has good size but showed limited skill offensively in this outing. He made a nice cross pass from the interior across the floor to a shooter and finished a couple of offensive putbacks. Milton plays him primarily as a back-to-basket 5 player similar to Nick Harris (GA-14/Charleston signee) at St. Pius. Lewis lacks the skill to effectively score down there right now though South Forsyth’s tallest player was 6’2″.
