As a Recruit
Nyk Lewis is a paint touch guard. Listed in the 6-1 range, he has long arms with a sturdy base and good balance. Lewis has a crafty handle along with quick-twitch athleticism that gets him to where he wants to go on the court. Not only does he touch the paint on offense, but he also prevents the other team from touching the paint while guarding the point of attack. Lewis will need to continue tightening the jump shot. He is comfortable pulling up, stepping into his shots off the bounce and knocking them down. Things can get streaky shooting from beyond the arc. He is aggressive on both ends which helps him to be an active rebounder from the point guard position. He is on the shorter side, so his ability to heat up the point of attack is important. Lewis is competitive in every setting and simply exudes toughness on the court.
