What does this mean for Kentucky:
Kentucky has its guard for the future, as Acaden Lewis will certainly have an opportunity to showcase his elite talent and feel with one of the biggest programs in the country. We have said that Lewis has proven to be one of the elite guards in the country, as we broke it down not long ago with our thoughts.
“From what I saw on the floor at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, I would say I’m higher than others on Lewis’ game, especially with how dynamic of a playmaker he was on the court. Watching him against some premier talent at the camp, Lewis just seemed to be a bit more dynamic and player with more swagger than others. He was off the charts in his ability to create off the bounce, play with a great change of pace and a quick first step, was off the charts in his ability to get paint touches and finish high off the glass with touch, knocked down shots off the dribble and with range, and even showed his excellent vision in finding teammates. Lewis was a clear leader on the court and had an intriguing blend of running the offense but also being a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands. He was better than so many other guards with what we saw and believe he has a chance to be special with his overall point guard feel and awareness.”
Lewis has an elite feel for the game and as he mentioned, is a true playmaker on the court. He mixes it up extremely well, absolutely love his feel and touch off the bounce, creates well for himself, and still has plenty of potential left in his game.
