Welcome to The Crossover’s NBA Draft newsletter, bringing you exclusive content, intel and analysis as the 2020 draft draws near.
By now, you should be familiar with the big-name guards in this year’s draft: LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton and Killian Hayes have already made headlines. But the sleeper point guard you may not know as well is Kira Lewis Jr., who comes off a breakout sophomore year at Alabama, is still just 19 years old and has made a strong case to hear his name called in the late lottery. I caught up with Lewis earlier this week to learn more about his unusual trajectory to the draft.
