Name: Jalen Lewis
Height: 6'10
HS: Bishop O’Dowd (CA)
Grassroots: Team Why Not
Position: Big
Comparison: Shades of Okafor
Calling Card: Badges: Soft Hands, Rebounding
Strengths: Skilled, baby-faced big. Outstanding size and measurements at this age. 7-0 wingspan. 9 standing reach. Charmin soft touch around the rim. Range on his jumper. Nimble and light on his feet. Good feel and instincts… Unselfish. Flashes passing in the post. Strong offensive rebounder. Solid shot blocker.
Areas to Improve: Not a run and jump athlete. Adding quickness (especially laterally) is crucial. Not going to stay in front of guys at this stage. You are what you guard, and Lewis tends to float at times. Needs to understand the importance of playing inside then out.
