Maxwell Lewis has a chance to be the highest selected player to ever come out of Pepperdine. The college in Malibu, California has produced the likes of Hall of Famer Dennis Johnson, current NBA player Kessler Edwards, and four-time All-Defensive player Doug Christie, who at 17th overall is currently the highest ever draftee from the school.
Lewis comes with his own merits, of course. As a 6’7” wing with true two-way potential, he broke out in a big way in his sophomore year, registering 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. As a team, the Waves finished a disappointing 9-22 last season, and so Lewis was elevated to a lead role without the benefit of a high level supporting cast.
