Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 11, 2018, 05:38:46 PM
What a week for our guy, and only 17 years old. Wow!

Alabama point guard Kira Lewis has been tabbed the Southeastern Conference's Freshman of the Week, the league office announced on Monday afternoon.

In games against Georgia State and Arizona this past week, the 6-foot-3, 167-pound freshman from Meridianville, Ala., averaged 19.5 points and 4.5 threes made per game while shooting 60 percent from the beyond the arc (9-of-15) to secure the team's first weekly honor of the year.

[For the season, Lewis has started all nine contests and leads Alabama in scoring at 15.4 points per game and three-point shooting (18-of-43, 41.9 percent), while also tying for the team lead in assists (21) and steals (7).

I wonder how some of the other players feel about this kid outshining them with his hustle and attitude?

The hustle part gets me. If the others see this kid working hard why don't they step up or put somebody in there that will. RTR!

Lewis is 6'3" 167. He needs to add some meat & muscle to go to the next step. No way I see him playing at that weight. He needs to be 175-180 lbs. Seems like Jerry West was around 175 lbs.

The average point guard in the NBA is 6'2" 190 lbs. Like I said, Kira Lewis needs to add some meat to those bones. Chris Paul, point guard,  is 6' 175.

He'll have to wait until the off season to do it.   ;)
