[Staff Photo/Gary Cosby Jr.] Alabama Men S Basketball Practice
When the New Orleans Pelicans drafted Kira Lewis, Jr. out of Alabama with the 13th pick, his speed was the top talking point of his game.
As the New Orleans Pelicans start workouts, the rookie is already impressing the vets, and it’s not speed that is top of mind for JJ Redick.
He told reporters on Tuesday that although he doesn’t really watch much college basketball, Kira Lewis Jr’s shooting ability has really stood out during these first few practices.
JJ Redick says Kira Lewis is a better shooter than he thought.
