Freshman Julien Lewis is a 6'3" guard who played his high school ball at La Marque. He's a 3-time District 24-4A Player of the Year and was named the All-Greater Houston Player of the Year as a senior. A big time scorer, Lewis averaged 18 points per game his sophomore season, 20 points per game his junior season, and 25 points per game his senior season.
When Lewis was a junior, his La Marque Cougars were bounced from the state playoffs by Jack Yates High School, then the #1 rated team in the nation. When Lewis was a senior, his Cougars once again faced Yates in the state playoffs and seeking revenge, Lewis was not to be denied. He collected 34 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals in an epic 102-91 victory for La Marque. The Cougars would then advance to the state championship game, only to fall to Dallas Kimball and finish their season with a record of 33-5.
Expect Texas coach Rick Barnes to utilize Lewis as part of a 3-man rotation at the twin wing positions. Between J'Covan Brown, Sheldon McClellan, and Julien Lewis, the Longhorns should see about 40 points of scoring per game from the dynamic trio.
