Justin

[Uncle Rico]

Justin was so lazy, he didn't even write a letter to get the ball more.  Sad!

[wadesworld]

Soon to be professional athletes get to being one of the top 40-60 draft eligible players in the world in a given year by being lazy, no doubt.

[MU82]

I am so glad we got rid of that guy.

Word is, he actually wanted to come back, but Shaka said, "Hit the bricks, you lazy loser."

[MU82]

The Athletic's latest "live" mock draft from Sam Vecenie:

44. Atlanta Hawks: Justin Lewis | 6-8 wing | 20 years old | Marquette

Thank goodness we're done with Lazy Lewis. If only Shaka hadn't stoopidly kept him on the team last year, we'd have capped a 30-win season with a Final Four run.

[MuggsyB]

I really hope Justin is drafted mid 2nd.  I do think though that generally the mock drafts in the past aren't particularly accurate after the first 15 picks or so. 

[Lennys Tap]

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

That NBA scout hates Justin Lewis, would never want him on the college team he cheers for and is very likely a racist in The World According To Scoop Idiots.

Muggsy: It is looking good for Justin in second round . He is now in everyone's mock, the last holdout posted him yesterday . If for some reason he doesn't get drafted ( trades can impact ) he will get a two way contract which is worth good money

Oh boy.

Why did Shaka want him on the team? He enables lazy players? Why didn't he bench Lewis the way he benched Morsell, Kolek and Kuath?

You're really becoming an embarrassing version of your former self.

[Pakuni]

Over at Draft Kings, you can get +1000 on Justin to go in the 1st round.

[MU82]

It's really a simple equation. Either you don't think Lewis is lazy, or you think that Shaka is a stoopid coach who enables laziness by giving significantly more playing time to a lazy guy than to any other player.

Which is it?

If it's the latter, it doesn't bode well for Marquette's program under Shaka.

I'm frequently embarrassed on your behalf. Glad I could return the favor.

You can't possibly be this dense but your "either or" is what's stoopid.

Justin Lewis is a gifted player. I liked him better than Dawson as a freshman and he was our best player last year. But (sit down, this is going to come as a major shock) he wasn't perfect. Anybody who watches our games with a remotely honest eye at times saw the same thing that the NBA scout saw. That doesn't mean I was glad to see him go. That doesn't mean I didn't like him as a player and cheer for him.

Get a grip.

You don't.  Some do.

That is the answer and what you feel.  Normal Lenny.  Slyly defending a fellow scooper when their take was extremely silly is what doesn't seem normal for you.

Ah. "I know you are but what am I?" Good one.

I'm not sure how much scouts talk to college coaches versus front office people talking to college coaches. Scout says he's "lazy" on defense and then the front office could talk to Shaka, who tells them: "yeah, I told him to take it easy defensively, I had an elite perimeter defender and a really good shot blocker. I needed his energy on offense."

Nobody ever portrayed Lewis as "perfect," Lenny, so get a grip.

I still can't believe Shaka kept running a "lazy" player onto the court over and over and over again. Most minutes on the team, by far, to a lazy guy! What kind of coach does that?

Before y'all rip on fellow Scoopers, perhaps NBA scouts, independent of consultation with the intelligentsia of this website, have formed their own analysis of #10 and how it translates to the Association. If Justin isn't lazy, then possibly he's simply stupid. Taking plays off literally has cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, aina?

NBA drafts on potential, so no.

100% correct. This scout's take, and Vecenie's analysis in The Athletic are fair criticisms.

I do also think that sitting out the combine scrimmages was a bad move on his part. He had a chance to flip the narrative a bit and didn't take it.

That said, I hope he goes as high as possible and sticks in the league.

[rocket surgeon]

the other side of the equation is, and don't get me wrong, i very much enjoyed his play for us, BUT he might be one of those dudes built more for the college game than the pros.  there have been many great college ball'ers who fit that mold.

   justin always seemed to be moving at a different speed.  sometimes one can get away with that via "smarts" and/or against college level talent, not pro.  to compare him to jae is being very very kind

He and jae are very different players. It's a lazy comparison.
