Kira Lewis admits that he doesn’t try to keep up with mock drafts, but he has noticed that in this odd offseason heading toward next Wednesday’s NBA Draft he has managed to find his name rising maybe more than any other prospect.

There was no NCAA Tournament to have a shining moment. There were no workouts with other point guard prospects put on the floor against him, allowing him to rise.
