He has the size and quickness to match up better against Lewis.
Amir has the size to matchup against Lewis, but his game is closer to the hoop than Lewis'. Lewis would either eat him up with the jumper or blow by him on a drive. And Amir doesn't (few do) have the size/ability to play inside against Howard. I didn't expect to see him mush this series even before the Billups injury. I will expect to see some minutes against either of the C's in the next round as he can play Ben, or Var on Cle and maybe Perkins, Powe, Brown, and Posey on the Celts will be a little harder, but would be a good show of where he is.
