LEX 18 — The University of Kentucky has announced the addition of point guard Acaden Lewis to the men's basketball team.
A release from the University says that Lewis is a "consensus four-star prospect" and that he chose UK over Duke and UConn. Lewis is six feet three inches tall and is set to join the team for the 2025-26 season.
Kentucky head coach Mark Pope said, "Acaden Lewis is so much of what you want to find in a great point guard.”
Pope added, “He has incredible vision. He’s got a beautiful stroke. He can get to the rim and finish, can make every pass, and already understands the probing nature of a point guard. He has this calm, hungry, unemotional demeanor that you look forward to in a leader. I would say he has some Anthony Epps qualities of being a calm, tough, banner-hanging leader that gets us really excited.”
