Notes: Hewitt is a true combo guard who is also the best ball-handler in the area, being exceptional with both hands even when under pressure, who can also score in traffic with good body control or knock down the jumper with the best of them.  More smooth than explosive, he usually resorts to breaking down his defender with his handles rather than blowing by them with quickness.  Also has great size and length for a point guard at 6'3".  Has great range and the ability to get hot fast. Has shown the ability to put up big scoring numbers, on a team without many true offensive weapons during his sophomore season with an inexperienced East Lee team and on the travel scene with Team Breakdown.  His main weakness at this point probably be his lack of a quick burst and he sometimes struggles with decision making at the point.  With time and work look for him to be one of the better guard prospects in the 2010 class to come out of Florida.
