Jade Lewis Jade Lewis 5'8" | SG Millard West | 2025 State NE is someone that I had a chance to see compete last year prior to the high school season and since then, she has seemly gotten better over time. Lewis is someone that has a fundamental play-style with great balance and coordination. She can score in a number of different ways while attacking the hoop or she can facilitate to an open teammate when the defense over helps. She is someone that has some physicality to her at the guard position and she tends to play with a chip on her shoulder. When she is competing with other well rounded prospects, she thrives and this AAU season, that is what we have seen first hand at an elite and consistent rate.

When I had the opportunity to watch Jade Lewis Jade Lewis 5'8" | SG Millard West | 2025 State NE compete over this past 6 months, I was surprised. On film she is a player that makes some good plays but in person, she was a complete difference maker. It didn’t matter if she had to bring up the ball as the point, score from the outside as the SG, or if she had to find open space in the mid-post. Her combination of first step speed, coordination near the rim, and fundamental shot form is impressive. Those are all things that have been on full-display this winter with her Yutan Chieftains High School team. Lewis has taken this confident play-style, brought it along into the season and it’s paying off. Up until this point, her team is sitting with an 8-2 overall record while she is averaging around 10 PPG. Within a program that has a handful of different quality players, to be one of the top producers in a number of categories is impressive. She may only be a Junior but Lewis could play at the next level, given the right situation. She has demonstrated that time and time again as this season has progressed on.

There was no way that I could make this First Team and leave off Jade Lewis Jade Lewis 5'8" | SG Millard West | 2025 State NE . Lewis is a decent sized guard, who can really do it all on the floor. She isn’t a natural point guard but can bring up the ball with an above average handle, she isn’t a natural shooting guard but can she shoot it from all three levels efficiently, and she isn’t a natural post but she likes to post up and score over smaller defenders on a consistent basis throughout a contest. Lewis was one of the most well-rounded players at this event from a skills, smarts, and athleticism stand-point. She was someone that the coach could put in at a number of different positions, every other possession, and she would still produce in whatever she was trying to accomplish. Lewis was one of the first players I saw compete on Sunday, she stood out in that contest and throughout the rest of the day. I’m hoping she can ride this momentum into her high school season moving forward!
