Amateur career
After getting an opportunity to play varsity late into his freshman year Lucas went on to garner several All Region Team selections, All State selection, Beach Ball and Hooters Holiday Tournament MVP's, North/South All Star, McDonald's All American (game nominee) and Nike All American as well as 1998 South Carolina Player of the Year. Lucas played for NCAA's South Carolina's Gamecocks, along with future Lietuvos Rytas stars Marijonas Petravičius and Chuck Eidson. He averaged 10.4 ppg, 2.4 rpg and 3.9 apg during his senior year.
Pro career
After graduating University of South Carolina, Lucas briefly played for Columbia Range, a basketball team in Columbia. Lucas left the club and came to Lietuvos Rytas, where he instantly became its leader. Having an impressive vertical jump and dunking ability, he won the 2003 LKL "Oro Karalius", a competition similar to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. In 2004, he was loaned to Bnei HaSharon, but returned to his former team in spring of 2005. In May 2005, he terminated his contract and signed with JSF Nanterre. He last played for BC Kiyv in 2007.
Coaching career
In 2013 Lucas accepted a head coaching job at his alumni Richland Northeast High School where he still holds the all-time scoring record."I am looking very much forward to (working with him)," said Cavaliers athletics director Gary Fulmer. "We expect that Aaron will continue the success that basketball at our school has had for almost 40 years. He has been a part of many of those teams. He got all the accolades you can name as a high school player. He was a student of the game. Of all the kids I coached, he really understood how the game should be played and played the game that way. And I think he will instill that in the guys that are here now." Lucas led his team to a playoff berth in 2014/2015 where they won one game before being eliminated. His record after 2 years stands at 16-28 for the Richland Northeast High School BasketballTeam.
