Bolting for professional ranks Lewis said Monday that he will forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility at Pepperdine to enter the 2023 NBA Draft, Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lewis, a 6-foot-7, 195-pound wing, could hear his name called late in the first round of the draft coming off a breakout sophomore campaign at Pepperdine in which he was a second-team All-West Coast Conference selection. He started in all 31 of his appearances for the Waves in 2022-23, averaging 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.4 minutes per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 78.7 percent from the charity stripe.

Impact Lewis led Pepperdine in points and rebounds, providing the finishing touches on a quality sophomore campaign. The 6'7, 195-pound guard ends his season averaging 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. The Las Vegas native will look to carry this momentum into next season.

Career-best 30 points Lewis ended with 30 points (12-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 88-69 victory over Northern Arizona.
Impact Lewis has bounced right back from a wrist injury that cut short his freshman season and is now averaging 18.0 ppg following this career-best scoring performance. He's also shooting 63 percent from the field and 50 percent from distance, and while those numbers may not be sustainable, they're a vast improvement from what he was able to do in 21 games in 2021-22/

Wins Pepperdine dunk contest Lewis (wrist) won the dunk contest for the second consecutive season at Pepperdine's Blue & Orange Madness event Oct. 14, per the team's official site.
Impact Lewis was diagnosed with a season-ending wrist injury in late-February that cut short a freshman campaign in which he averaged 11.0 ppg in just 19.6 mpg. Pepperdine didn't have any official exhibition games scheduled to allow reporters to get a better look at the health of Lewis, but if he's participating in dunk contests, it's likely safe to say the 6-7 wing has gained clearance in advance of the Nov. 7 season opener against Rice.

Out for season with wrist issue Lewis will miss the rest of the 2021-22 season due to a wrist injury, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.
Impact Lewis missed the past four games after suffering the injury Feb. 12 against BYU, and he's now been ruled out for the rest of the campaign. He averaged 11.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 19.6 minutes over 21 games during his freshman season.

Logs season-high in minutes Lewis registered 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 82-63 loss to Portland.
Impact Lewis contributed 16 of Pepperdine's 19 bench points, draining three from long-range for a second straight game. His impressive play led him to log a season-high 28 minutes but the freshman has struggled with turnovers overall thus far. Through four conference games, Lewis is averaging 11.8 points on 48 percent shooting.

Scores 15 off bench Lewis closed with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 17 minutes during Monday's 82-69 victory over San Jose State.
Impact Lewis missed the first six games of the season but has appeared in the last five games, with the freshman posting a season-high 15 points in the team's third win of the season. A four-star recruit in the 2021 class, he could eventually develop into a starter this season on a struggling Pepperdine team that is in need of scorers.
