Michael Lewis Jr., 6’2 CG- Denver Prep

When near the rim is when Mikey looks the best, he changes speed and has the patience to find the best route to the rim. Mikey’s stop-and-go game works well with his mid-range pull-up, when in rhythm off of the dribble Mikey hits contested shots with ease. Playing on the grind session at a young age will surely help Mikey develop into a great player.
