Georgetown Hoops Lose Key Player: KJ Lewis Transferring

Georgetowns leading scorer, KJ Lewis, is leaving the team for the transfer portal, just eleven days after the season ended. Lewis, a junior guard, averaged 14.9 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, earning all-Big East third team honors. He transferred to Georgetown last year from Arizona, where he increased his scoring from 6.1 to 10.8 points per game.

Despite fan disappointment, Lewis was a two-way force who brought Georgetown spirit. The team still managed to upset higher seeds like DePaul and Villanova in the Big East tournament without him. However, the trend of players entering the transfer portal is on the rise, making it challenging for students to stay connected to a rotating roster.

With the portal opening on April 7th, coach Ed Cooley faces pressure to replace Lewiss production, especially with uncertainty around senior center Vince Iwuchukwus eligibility. Despite the challenges, believers in Cooleys track record with transfers and the fast-paced nature of modern college basketball remain optimistic.
