[2] He attended Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C., where he was coached by Carroll Holmes and he was a varsity starter since his sophomore season. [4] In his junior season, Lewis averaged 17 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks per game, and was selected in the All-Metro First Team by the Washington Post . [4]

As a high school senior, Lewis was ranked among the best players in the nation, with the Knoxville News Sentinel ranking him number 6th overall.

[4] He also earned recognition at national level, being named a second-team Parade All-American selection, [5] and was selected to play in two high school all-star games: the Capital Classic [6] and the McDonald's All-American Game. [7] In the Capital Classic Lewis he scored 18 points, playing as a center and shooting 9/11 from the field. [6] In the 1984 McDonald's All-American Boys Game he scored 4 points, all on free throws attempts, playing for the East team. [7]

College career

Freshman season

Lewis chose to wear number 33 at Maryland and was selected as a starter by coach Lefty Driesell since his freshman year. [2] He was considered one of the best defensive freshmen in the country due to his shot blocking ability. [8] After coming off the bench for the first three games of the season, [2] Driesell made him the starting center of the team: he was only the second freshman to start as a center during Driesell's stint as a coach at Maryland. [8] On November 21, 1984, in a Great Alaska Shootout game against Tennessee, Lewis recorded a career-high 10 blocks; he tied the mark later in the season, posting another 10-block game against Towson State on January 21, 1985. [8] [9] On February 24 he posted a career-high 14 rebounds against Wake Forest. [8] In the quarterfinals of the 1985 ACC men's basketball tournament against Duke, Lewis scored a new career high of 16 points. [8]

During his freshman season Lewis started 34 of 37 games, averaging 6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 2.7 blocks per game in 30.1 minutes of playing time. He recorded 99 blocks for the season, which at the time was the single-season all-time high at Maryland. [9] His 241 rebounds made him the 7th best rebounder in the conference. [8] He was named ACC Rookie of the Week twice during the season, [8] and finished second in the ACC Rookie of the Year award voting behind Duane Ferrell of Georgia Tech. [2]

Sophomore season

Lewis was confirmed as a starter for his sophomore year, and was the only player on the roster to start all 33 games.

[10] During the tournament, Lewis played as a power forward, as the center was Terry Long. [11] He recorded 71 season blocks, [9] and led the team in steals per game with 1.1. [12]

Junior season

As a junior, Lewis gained an increased scoring load after the departure of Len Bias, who had left the team for the 1986 NBA draft. [2] He was again named the starting center, and the team captain. [13] On January 28, 1987 Lewis recorded a triple double against James Madison with 29 points (a new career high), 23 rebounds (career high) and 12 blocks (another career high, and the best single-game mark in Maryland history). [9] [14] On February 18 he recorded his second triple double (the only player to record more than one in Terrapins history) with 32 points (his career high), 10 rebounds and 10 blocks against UMBC. [9] [14] On February 27 he recorded 10 blocks against Maryland Eastern Shore. [9]

Lewis was the second best scorer in the ACC with 19.6 points per game behind Horace Grant of Clemson (21.0), and was the second best rebounder in the conference with 9.5 per game (again behind Grant who had 9.6). [15] He led his team in scoring, rebounding, blocks, steals and field goal percentage. [2] He recorded 114 total blocks in the season, improving his own record established in his freshman season. [9] He led the ACC in blocks with a 4.4 average, [2] which also ranked him 2nd in the whole NCAA Division I behind David Robinson's 4.5. [16] His 35.8 minutes per game in the season are the 8th best mark in the history of the Terrapins. [17] He earned a selection as the ACC Player of the Week, [18] and at the end of the season he was named in the All-ACC First Team with 182 votes (4th overall in votes behind Horace Grant, Kenny Smith and Joe Wolf), [15] and was selected as an Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated Press. He also finished third in ACC Player of the Year voting with 7 votes, behind Kenny Smith and Horace Grant. [15] He was also among the 10 finalists for the Adolph Rupp Trophy, and received 2 votes. [19]

Senior season

Lewis was considered one of the college basketball top defensive players when he returned to Maryland for his senior season; Sporting News ranked him the third-best power forward in college basketball behind Danny Manning and J. R. Reid, and included him in the preseason All-American watchlist. [13] He played mostly in the power forward position as a senior, with the center position assigned to Brian Williams and Tony Massenburg. [13] Lewis was named ACC Player of the Week once during the season, [18] starting all 31 games and playing 34.8 minutes per game, the 10th best single-season mark of all time at Maryland. [17] He recorded 55 blocks in the season, [9] reaching a career total of 339. [3] He led his team in points, rebounds, steals and blocks, and ranked third in assists; he also shot 45.5% from three. [20] He ranked 4th in the ACC in rebounding with 7.6 per game. [15] At the end of the season he was selected in the All-ACC Second Team with 69 votes. [15]

Lewis ended his career at Maryland with 1,458 points, 948 rebounds and 339 blocks. As of 2020, he ranks 19th all-time in points, third in rebounds and first in blocks. [3] He also ranks second in career blocks per game average (2.7) behind Joe Smith (3.0). [9] He posted 23 double doubles in his career, and he is the only player in Maryland history with 2 triple doubles. [14]

Professional career

Beginnings and rookie season in the CBA

After the end of his senior season at Maryland, Lewis was automatically eligible for the 1988 NBA draft. In April 1988 he was selected in the United States Basketball League (USBL) draft in the 6th round (50th overall) by the Jersey Shore Bucs. [21] In May he was invited to the US national team trials to be part of the squad for the 1988 Summer Olympics; [22] he did not make the team. In a June 28 article, the Baltimore Sun reported that Lewis was projected to be a second-round pick in the NBA draft: [23] he was selected in the third round (62nd overall) by the Chicago Bulls. [24] He spent the summer training with the Bulls, and signed a contract on October 7, 1988; [25] however, he was waived on October 25, 10 days before the start of the 1988–89 NBA season. [26] Lewis then decided to sign for the Rockford Lightning in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), the main minor league in the United States. In his rookie season as a professional player, Lewis played 52 out of 54 games of the 1988–89 CBA season, averaging 8.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.4 blocks: [27] he ranked third in the CBA in blocks (126 in 52 games for a 2.4 average) behind John Campbell of the La Crosse Catbirds and Jerome Henderson of the Topeka Sizzlers. [28] He also participated in the playoffs, appearing in 16 games and averaging 10.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal and 1.8 blocks; [27] his team reached the CBA finals, where they lost to the Tulsa Fast Breakers. [29] At the end of the season, Lewis was named in the CBA All-Defensive First Team.

First stint in France and USBL

In 1989, Lewis moved to France for the first time in his career, and signed for Reims Champagne Basket, a team that competed in the Nationale A1, the first level of French basketball. In his first season in the league, Lewis led the league in blocks at 3.1 per game, and also averaged 15.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game in 34.9 minutes of playing time. On February 24, 1990 he recorded the only quadruple double in French league history against Lorient, with 20 points, 11 rebounds, 12 steals and 10 blocks. [1] In that game he also established records for most blocks (10) and steals (12) in a single game. [1] [30] He stayed with Reims for the following season where he played 11 games, with averages of 14 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.7 blocks, again leading the league in blocks. In the spring of 1991, after the end of the 1990–91 Nationale A1 season, he left France and returned to the United States, signing for the New Haven Skyhawks of the USBL, playing the 1991 season with the team.
