Here is 247's take on Lewis:

Lewis is rare star who dominates without scoring
Here are more complete stats from Team Rio this past summer: 11 UAA games 10.5 points (on very few shots as the article says, 100 shots in those 11 games as I remember), 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 turnovers per game. He shot 53% on two point shots, 23% from outside the arc and 83% from the FT line.
The article mentions a couple of NBA players, but the recent recruit his described talent reminds me of is Justise Winslow who went to Duke for a year and now plays for the Heat. Winslow was another skilled guy who did not take a huge number of shots.
Brian Snow 247sports.com said:From basically the beginning of his high school career, Scottie Lewis has been a superstar player. Lewis has been one of the best prospects in the country from the time he was a freshman, and he has long made a huge impact on games. However, what is so unique about Lewis is that he can take over games without dominating the ball or even scoring.
When most people think of a star player, they think of gaudy numbers. They think of a player who fills [the box score with points, someone who jumps of the page with numbers. Uniquely that has never been the case with Lewis. Lewis was one of the best players at this summer's NBPA Top 100 Camp, yet he wasn't one of the top scorers. Also this summer with Team Rio he absolutely took over games and willed his team to wins, yet he only averaged a shade over 10 points per contest.
