Fantasy Analysis
Lewis’ first season in Washington was his worst since 98-99, when he was a 19-year-old rookie in Seattle. He averaged just 7.8 points per game on 38.5 percent shooting. With $22 million remaining on his contract, the Wizards will have to decide what the future holds for the forward, who will be 33 by the start of next season. It would be a surprise to see Lewis return to the Wizards, but no matter what, he is likely not worth serious attention on Draft Day. (Updated 04/18/2012).
Lewis put together a pretty disappointing 2010-11 campaign with the Magic and Wizards. The now-seasoned veteran was limited to 57 total games, the fewest in a decade, because of ongoing knee trouble. The 11.7 points per game he averaged was his lowest scoring output since the 1999-00 season, and he shot just 35.7 percent from 3-point range. Still, Lewis did see some increases over last season, managing better rebounding, assist and block averages despite the dip in offense. However, he clearly isn't the player he once was and at age 31 seems to have his best days behind him. With all the unknowns surrounding Lewis heading into the 2011-12 season, owners are better off considering Lewis a low-end option, worthy of a late-round pick in deeper leagues. That is of course if he is healthy. (Updated 8/29/11)
