Kira Lewis Jr. had a solid rookie season for the New Orleans Pelicans that showed a lot of potential.

Lewis Jr. is only 6-foot-1, 170 lbs. but he can fly, which he showed off many times this season, blowing by defenders like they were in slow motion.

He also showed the ability to take care of the ball, as he had a nearly 4:1 assist to turnover ration, which is outstanding for a rookie, especially when you consider he had little offseason to prepare and few practices to work on things during the season.
