Maryland has its point guard of the future.
The Terps on Sunday landed a commitment from Paul Lewis, the 6-foot-3 Class of 2022 point guard from Bishop O’Connell (VA and the DC Premier AAU club.
Ranked the No. 19 point guard in the 247Sports.com Composite rankings in 2022, he also considered Georgetown, ECU and James Madison, among others. Lewis averaged 15.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists as a sophomore.
“Coach [DeAndre] Haynes keeps in contact with me pretty well. I like the coaching staff a lot,” Lewis told All Terrapins.
Maryland has three commits in 2021 in Julian Reese, Ike Cornish and James Graham but Lewis is their first in 2022.
The Terps have pitched Lewis on being similar to former Maryland point guard Anthony Cowan.
“Paul is an elite shooter with incredible range and is a big time shot maker,” O’Connell coach Joe Wootten said. “He is fearless!! He is a an excellent point guard with quickness and a high IQ. Above all he is a great competitor who values winning!”
