EXPERT ANALYSIS
|
| |
"Quincy Lewis showed vast improvement in the Goodwill Games last summer, playing alongside Wally Szczerbiak, Andre Miller and Elton Brand and bringing home the gold medal. Lewis is a very good scorer who led the Big Ten, and he scored in a variety of ways. He can run the floor, spot up and put it down and hit the pull up jumper.
Lewis is 6-7 and thin, so he must add pounds and muscle to be able to take the bumping he will face in the NBA. Lewis has some Reggie Miller in him, and could be a nice off-guard in the NBA. The questions about Lewis are his strength and quickness, and his ability to play the off-guard spot in the NBA."
