KEVIN LEWIS
Lewis, who produced a long-standing professional playing career before joining the coaching ranks, was with Cross at Troy since 2023-24 (three seasons), overseeing player development.
“Kelvin Lewis is one of the best player development coaches that I have been around,” noted Cross. “He is also one of the best up and coming coaches in the country. He is very well connected in Atlanta and has shown to be a tremendous recruiter. Kelvin is one of the most well-rounded coaches that I have had the privilege of coaching alongside and he will be a great asset for the Georgia Tech men’s basketball program.”
Lewis enjoyed a 17-year playing career between the collegiate and professional levels before transitioning to assistant coach in 2023. Managing player development at Troy, Lewis helped the Trojans to three-straight 20-win campaigns and back-to-back Sun Belt Conference regular-season and tournament championships. The Trojans finished in the top three of the conference standings each season with Lewis and earned consecutive NCAA Tournament automatic berths.
Prior to his tenure at Troy, Lewis spent 13 years playing professionally, which included two years competing in the G-League with the Texas Legends and Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Following his time in the G-League, Lewis played overseas with stops in Sweden, Finland, Romania, Greece, Hungary, Iceland and Germany. He concluded his playing career in Austria where he played for SKN St. Polten from 2019-23.
“I want to thank Georgia Tech and Coach Cross,” Lewis commented. “This is a historic program that I grew up watching and it’s a dream to be here. I’m excited to get to work.”
