5-10, 165-pound sophomore point guard Tyler Lewis (Forsyth Country Day in Lewisville, N.C.) put on a show at Dave Telep’s Carolina Challenge, incuding a 13-assist performance in his team’s opener. The performance comes as no surprise, as this past season he averaged nine assists (and 21 points) per game in leading Forsyth to a North Carolina Independent Schools state semifinal appearance.
Lewis loves basketball and it shows with his work off the court.
“Basically, I just work on my game and get to the gym a lot. I watch other players that I model my game after so I can learn what they’re doing and I practice it,” said Lewis, a savvy player who showed an ability to take the ball to the basket and finish as well on Saturday.
Very much a target of Division 1 programs, Lewis boasts offers from Appalachian State, Auburn, Charlotte, Richmond, VCU and Virginia Tech. North Carolina saw him play three times this past season and he has taken a visit to Chapel Hill. Stanford, Virginia and Wake Forest are showing serious interest as well.
