Tip-Off Classic

[Augieholic]

The Mavs have exactly zero (0) guys that can get their own offense. Long year incoming.

Tough opening weekend for Arhman Lewis but he's the type of Marcus Hill/Juwan McCloud-esque guard that Margs has had success with in the past. Let's give it 10ish games before we write him off.

I can’t recall Lewis’ shooting ability. Hill could get red hot. Can we expect to see that from Lewis?

Yes.

He's an adequate 3pt shooter: 33% at Augie, 35% at Emporia. His 2pt shooting declined a bit last year as he was 49% on 2pt FGs at Augie and 45% at Emporia. Overall though he has had nights where's unstoppable: in his first start he had 21 points at Wayne, 24 points vs Moorhead, 18 pts vs UMD in the NSIC Tourney, 24 pts vs Central Mo, and 19pts at Washburn last year. I suspect the part you'll really enjoy is when he and Kirkman fully engage the 2 man game that had numerous moments at Augustana two seasons ago.

I didn’t pay for the games as I wasn’t sure I’d be free to watch this past weekend, but Friday sounded like there was a lot of two-man game from Lewis & Kirkman/Jones. I missed the game entirely Sunday (seemingly thankfully for the boxscore) so didn’t hear how the offense was working. Just could see absolutely nothing was going in during the first half.
