Kira Lewis Jr.

What strikes me most about Kira Lewis Jr. is the resilience behind the resume. Going from Meridianville, Alabama to a first-round NBA draft pick in 2020 takes blistering speed and serious drive, and his time at Alabama showcased exactly that. Things didn't break his way in New Orleans, and injuries didn't help, but I genuinely admire that he kept grinding in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd rather than fading away. I see a player with real bounce-back potential, and I'm rooting for the chapter where his quickness finally translates into a stable rotation role at the top level.
