Poll: Justin Lewis Draft Choice

[DegenerateDish]

2 picks left, last pick is Milwaukee’s.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Probably shoulda seen this coming after Liddell fell into the 40s.

[JakeBarnes]

Awkward that he's gonna make 37k in the g league rather than NIL money.

If you're not gonna play in combine, you better be drafted higher than the 50s. He got some bad advice and I feel for him.

[TwoWords]

Didn’t expect this to be Vander Blue 2.0. I hope JL has as good a G League career. What a nightmare for everyone involved.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Feel bad for him. Maybe undrafted at this point will work out better like it did for Wes.

He will absolutely get a two way and make more 75-275K.

But this is disappointing

[CountryRoads]

Massive disappointment. This is Vander Blue 2.0. I mean wtf kind of advice was he getting? Might not have been a good idea to sit out the 5 on 5. His “chilled out” demeanor on the basketball court must have been a huge red flag for all NBA teams. Really no other conclusion can be drawn at this point.

[DegenerateDish]

Lewis goes undrafted.

Probably woulda made 500k-1m in NIL

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Wondering what the best spots are for him to consider signing as an UDFA.

If this doesn’t put a chip on his shoulder nothing will.

[Johnny B]

wtf it didnt happen

[TAMU Eagle]

Woof. ESPN has Justin as the second best undrafted player and the best undrafted college player. He has incredible measurables for the NBA, hard to imagine him not getting picked up. You have to wonder if his conversations with the coaching staffs didn't go well.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Way more surprising than Vander or Markus.

Vander was an undersized 2 who was a mediocre shooter, Markus was 5’10” and can’t play defense.

Just strange with where the mocks had him

The answer is Europe, if we’re being honest.

[jfp61]

Markus Howard is about to get cut for Collin Gillespie now 

[BM1090]

Probably woulda made 500k-1m in NIL

Could be. I was responding to the part saying he’d make 37K.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

The answer is Europe, if we’re being honest.

Clearly wasn’t the intent and that option would always be there for him.

Hard to say not coming back wasn’t a mistake.

Something seems amiss.

[panda]

Talk about your all time back fires. Ouch

[Afroman]

Can he still come back?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Can he still come back?

No.

[DegenerateDish]

Justin signs two way with Chicago.

[JakeBarnes]

He will absolutely get a two way and make more 75-275K.

But this is disappointing

Either way. Not a great outcome for him. He'd have made more here.

[panda]

Skipping combine games was questionable to say the least.

[94Warrior]

I wanna say Justin got some bad advice, but every single mock had him comfortably in the 40s and his metrics at the combine were pretty good.

Just weird. He will be forsure be playing professional ball next year but with NIL the way it is, he’s gonna be making less money.

None of the mocks account for the fact that 15 teams take flyers on unknown international kids each year, rather than taking a known commodity.  It happens every year.  I voted undrafted, and unfortunately I was correct.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Bulls. Yes.
