Two consecutive games were not good! It is estimated that it will be difficult for the Lakers second-round pick to get a contract from the Mavericks?

In the previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 76-69. After this game, the Spurs won two consecutive victories in the Las Vegas Summer League; while the Mavericks suffered their first defeat in the Summer League, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss.

In this game, the Mavericks' starting wing star Maxwell Lewis' performance was shocking. Lewis played 13 minutes and 39 seconds in the whole game, made 0 of 5 shots, 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 block with only free throws. He also had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Lewis still has no touch and no scoring ability on the offensive end. He also lacks basic passing ability and support ability. He seems to be completely unable to provide any support to the team on the offensive end. Lewis' performance on the defensive end is also very average, and he lacks sufficient defensive contribution. Lewis' performance on both offense and defense is really mediocre, and it is completely unsatisfactory. Lewis' role on the court is very limited, which is also an important factor in the serious lack of playing time. It seems that the team is also very dissatisfied with his performance.

Lewis' performance was also unsatisfactory in the team's summer league victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in the previous game. Lewis made 2 of 7 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line and 3 of 4 free throws in 19 minutes and 1 of 4 free throws, scoring 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. He also had 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of 0. Lewis couldn't find any touch in two games, his scoring ability was too limited, and his performance on the defensive end was also very average. After all, Lewis is also a player who has played in the NBA and NBA Development League for two seasons. As a player with relatively rich experience, he should have performed better in games at this level.

Lewis was born in July 2002 and is about to turn 23 years old. He is 201cm tall and weighs 98kg. He is a wing player from Pepperdine University selected by the Lakers in the 40th pick in the second round in the 2023 NBA Draft. Lewis' performance in the NCAA arena is actually quite good. He can also take on a lot of responsibilities on both offense and defense. He is also considered a 3D type wing player. However, Lewis' performance after entering the NBA are very disappointing, and his performance in the NBA Development League is even more terrible. It is also for this reason that Lewis was sent to the Brooklyn Nets by the team in the middle of last season, and he was also cut by the Nets last month and became a free agent. With Lewis' performance like this, it is really not easy for him to return to the NBA.
