Kira Lewis Jr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. is landing with the Toronto Raptors in a trade that sends star forward Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, and three first-round picks. The Pelicans are also including a second-rounder that will go to Indiana. The No. 13 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Lewis finds himself in the final year of his rookie contract without a whole lot of NBA success under his belt. Lewis has never started a game in the Big Easy, most recently averaging a mere 2.9 points and 1.2 assists in 9.6 minutes over 15 showings this season. The 22-year-old former Alabama standout possesses strong passing skills and defensive ability that could emerge from the shadows at some point with the Raptors. Don't expect immediate fantasy value out of Lewis in Toronto's crowded backcourt, but he's a name to monitor during "silly season".
