Lakers trade up from 47 to 40 and get Denver Nuggets pick :

Maxwell Lewis F Pepperdine USA 6-6 207 lbs

Pretty small for a F, even a SF, and 35% from 3. Let's see if LA keeps
these picks or trades them.

2023 NBA DRAFT PROFILE

MAXWELL LEWIS

ROUND 240 DRAFTED BY:DENVER NUGGETS POSITION F HEIGHT/WEIGHT 6-6 / 207
lbs SCHOOL/CLUB Pepperdine COUNTRY USA STATUS Sophomore BIRTHDAY 07/27/2002

Overview Maxwell Lewis began his high school basketball career at Clark High
School in Las Vegas, Nevada, before transferring to Somerset Academy and
finally to AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona. He gave up his senior year of
high school basketball to train for the 2021 NBA Draft but ultimately decided
to go to college. The forward committed to Pepperdine as a four-star recruit,
where he spent the last two seasons. In 2021-22, Maxwell was named to the WCC
All-Freshman team and then to the 2022-23 All-WCC team in his sophomore year.
Last season, he averaged 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31.4
minutes across 31 games on 46.9% shooting from the field and 35.1% from deep.
Maxwell has also spent the offseason preparing for the 2023 NBA Draft by going
through shooting drills with San Antonio Spurs guard Blake Wesley.

Analysis Lewis combines outstanding length and impressive athleticism with
fluid movement skills. He can create his own shot and has shown the ability to
score at all three levels. The wing is also adept at leveraging his scoring
gravity to generate open looks for his teammates around the basket or from the
perimeter. Lewis' length allows him to bother opponents when he is the primary
defender.

Projection Lewis' scoring potential should allow him to be a contributor off
the bench early in his career with the ability to develop into a starter down
the line. He possesses a similar skillset to Cam Reddish with his smooth
jumper and ability to create space. Lewis can play as an off-ball guard or
forward in today's NBA.
