Kira Lewis reclassifies, commits to Bama

He should've stayed in HS, in my opinion. At 6'3 and only 160 lbs, he will get roughed up by most other SGs and his ball handling is a bit suspect for him to be a true PG. He was a promising top 20-30 ranked combo guard for 2019 based on his potential to fill out his frame. Instead of being a highly touted FR that just dominated as a HS SR and played as a McDonald's all american, he shows up to Alabama without much of a whimper and is too small to score over and through defense like he is used to. He will have a hard time recovering the hype he was building and is taking a big gamble. No sour grapes at all. If he had reclassified and committed to UK, I would have said the exact same thing. There's not many 6'3 160 lb shooters in the NBA. Rondo showed up to UK at 6'1" and 160 lbs and everybody said he was too small to play in the NBA. Lewis is 2" taller and weighs 160. That's LITTLE. Avery needs to start shoving cheeseburgers in his mouth if Lewis is going to start as a combo guard. Quade Green is 6'0" 170 lbs for a comparison...

Plan D if we couldn’t get Hagans or Maxey to reclassify, or if Quade transferred? Maybe Cal knew he’d reclassify but had better targets
Mannion or Quickley next year. Lewis was always going to be a 2nd tier rotational player had UK put the offer out there.
He was good enough to get a pretty long look from Cal at the very least. That’s a good pickup for Bama.
How often do 4 star players reclassify? Seems like it is mostly just the top 5 star guys that want to showcase themselves at a higher level and potentially get to the NBA sooner that do it. Does this guy have the ability to take advantage of being in college a year sooner or will it physically be to much of a challenge for him to be successful right away?
