Justin

[BrewCity83]

Lazy. Bad body language. And also heard he farts too much.

He likes him some Real Chili.

[Billy Hoyle]

CBS has him 39th overall.

He may be a smidge undersized for an NBA power forward, but Lewis brings physicality and versatility to the table to make him a real NBA prospect. He can score inside and out and is comfortable playing down low despite the height he gives up.

100%

That would be too much effort

The Athletic's John Hollinger, who spent 7 seasons as the Grizzlies' VP of basketball operations, ranks Lewis #27 in his latest look at the NBA Draft:

Lewis can be frustrating at times: A little too chilled out on defense, a little too jump-shot dependent on offense. I just can’t see how I could rank him any lower than this. He’s 6-6 with an enormous 7-2 wingspan, has a strong frame that should allow him to play four in almost any matchup if his team wants to size down, and he had a 32.5-inch standing vertical.

The basketball stuff went OK too. Lewis shot decently and on relatively high volume, and is very comfortable shooting off the dribble against smaller defenders. He rebounds well and can be a very good defender when in a stance and engaged.

The big thing that puts him at the tail end of my first-round grades, however, is that every team needs switchable forwards who can make an open shot. Lewis doesn’t even need to get that much better to fill in a back-end rotation spot, and he has upside to be quite a bit better.

He has Johnny Davis at #29 noting that Davis’s outside shooting is not great to start with and fades the longer the shot along with his reliance on tough pull up 2s.

Justin at 27 & Johnny at 29? This is a draft I like

[WhiteTrash]

I thought Johnny was better than Wade, according to Madison sources.

[GoldenEagles03]

I thought Johnny was better than Wade, according to Madison sources.

Hahahaha now that's funny.

Some peoples lists would say there aren't even 20 players better than Wade in basketball history.

[NCMUFan]

That was a great evaluation.  Would be awesome if Justin went in the first round.

That would be awesome if Lewis goes ahead of Chalupa Man.

Too “chilled out” on defense? Did this guy just call Justin lazy (at times)?

No.

Ha!  Stirring the pot Lenny!

Ha!  Stirring the pot Lenny!

Can you stir an empty pot?

Some may say you don’t need a pot at all.

[MU82]

Too “chilled out” on defense? Did this guy just call Justin lazy (at times)?

Absolutely.

And has a strong frame is obviously questioning JL's body language.

[Lennys Tap]

Absolutely.

And has a strong frame is obviously questioning JL's body language.

Strong frame is obviously an asset, a plus.

Being “too chilled out on D? Not so much

[rocket surgeon]

Lazy. Bad body language. And also heard he farts too much.

  the best defense is a good offense, eyn'a?

[Pakuni]

New Athletic mock has Justin going #47 to the Griz.

47. Memphis Grizzlies (via Cavs) – Justin Lewis | 6-7 wing | Marquette | 20 years old
Roster, stash or G League: G League. Justin Lewis could be much higher in this draft with his 7-foot-2 wingspan, but he needs to learn how to play with much more force and accuracy. He’s a potential defensive terror.

[Jockey]

From a group of 7 scouts:

Justin Lewis, 6-7 sophomore forward, Marquette. “I would have loved to see him go back for one more year. Good athlete, but not a great athlete. He can be a four-man in the Jae Crowder mold. He’s got a big body and some really big legs. I don’t know if he has that basketball toughness about him. Complete long term, upside play. He doesn’t run that hard, he’s not a true professional in that sense, but the body and flashes of brilliance are there. I don’t think he can pass at all. I don’t think he handles it well. There were games this year where he kind of gave up and disappeared. Grabbed eight rebounds a game, which is pretty good. I got close to him in Chicago, and I was shocked how big he was. He’s a good value in the mid-second round.”

Aka, lazy, aina?

Aka, lazy, aina?

Looks like Marquette dodged a bullet when he left for the NBA

[Lennys Tap]

“Games where he kind of gave up”, “he doesn’t run that hard”.

But if you noticed these rather obvious facts and posted them here you were a hater, maybe even a racist. Scoop at its finest.

Lenny his take is extreme.  You know better and are more nuanced.  Quit bending your knee to the lowest common denominator.
