Scouting reports

Scout: Ryan Fortson [fortson@leland.Stanford.EDU]

Lewis is a solid player with a great personality who should have a solid, if unspectacular, career in the NBA. He lead the Big Ten in scoring (4th in the NCAA) by almost 4 points, was 8th in rebounds, and 9th in steals. Watching him play, all of this would be hard to believe. He is not going to amaze people with his athleticism, though it is certainly there. Basically, he puts up stats more quietly than many other "star" college players.

Part of the amazing numbers are due to the fact that Minnesota did not have too many other players that could be relied upon consistently. Still, depsite consistent double-teams, Lewis played well on offense. He can post up smaller players (he is 6-6) and also has a decent touch from 3-point territory (3rd highest percentage in the Big Ten). On defense, Lewis is also solid and could usually be counted upon to contain his man without too much assistance. His long arms help make up for slight lack of lateral quickness.

Lewis played mostly small forward in college. There is some dispute as to what position he will play in the NBA, with some listing him as a guard and others as a small forward. Lewis is at this point a bit thin and might be too weak to play inside like many small forwards are expected to do. His good rebounding numbers show hustle, but not necessarily strength. Lewis is probably better suited to guard and might be able to adapt well there as long as he is not made the focal point of the offense. He does not have the quickness to be an effective slasher, but will have some success in creating his own shot.

I expect him to go late in the lottery or in the mid-teens. He has better numbers and many of the same skills as Richard Hamilton, but probably not quite the same ability to take over a game. With work, Quincy could turn into an Eddie Jones-type player.
