Agreed. Definitely more than a 3 point shooter. He'll need to work on going left, but beyond his shot making ability it looks like he has a great skillset to build on.

Cowboy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 -I hadn't noticed until this video that his shot looks like it is from in front of him more than others, I don't care as makes more than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Majerus Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Jimmy has amazing body control. We should run every out of bounds play with him as option 1. Let’s see; Lewis averaged 14 as a frosh & we’re worried about finding minutes for him? Does his jumper remind u of a certain guard on VA?

I love how he always either has his feet set for a shot after the catch, or if he the defender is right on top of him, he’s ready to do some sort of shimmy/fake in order to free himself up. He definitely has the potential to be more than a catch and shoot guy based on this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone compared him to S Highmark a few posts back. GJ is way beyond Scott's shooting ability if his video is representative of his game. Scott was a really good spot-up shooter but was not very good shooting on the move. Claggs was the guy that excelled at that, not Scott. Jimerson looks like way more that just a spot up shooter and a guy who could add a lot to the team next year. dennis_w and BIG BILL FAN like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The guy is supposed to be top 5 shooters in his class I thought. If that's the case there's no friggin' way we've ever had one of those. Maybe Larry was that high in something but I don't think in any % stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Highmark averaged 13 ppg as a freshman and Lewis will be competing against a freshman who may be even more talented than Highmark. And against a defensive standout with a chip on his shoulder. There hasn't been this much competition at the shooting guard position since I've been following the Billikens. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauman Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 This is probably covered in some thread, but we always seem to have some confusion about available scholarships, so here is the way I see it with the assumption that Lewis is only going to be on the squad next year (for either a 1/2 year or a full year). This is as of 4/17/19 Seniors next year: Lewis Juniors: Perkins, Goodwin, French Soph: Jacobs, Thatch, Hankton Fresh; Jimerson, Collins, Hargrove, Bell Eleven scholarships used a/o today----- 2 available for 2019 signees* Ten scholarships used a/o today(two above* and the Lewis scholarship)-----3 available for 2020 signees. Fill any additional signees into the appropriate year, e.g. a grad transfer would go into the year with Lewis. What is important to me is that we have 3, 2020 scholarships for the outstanding group of players, that year; i.e. Love, Kasubke, K Clark, the Mehlville 3, and others. This would balance the scholarships as follows in the 2020-21 year: Seniors---3; Juniors ---3; Soph-----4; Fresh-----3.
