The Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies have eyes on this player
While the NBA Finals are underway between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks, 28 other teams are in offseason mode. This includes the pre-draft process, as teams are evaluating several different prospects to make a decision on what players are the best fit for their organization.
Lee is an intriguing prospect, having averaged 17.1 PPG last season with impressive playmaking flashes:from the handle, wiggle, crafty shotmaking, body control to playmaking… he can just go and make things happen with the ball in his handsThe Grizzlies have been projected many places to consider drafting a point guard this year, as the organization could use depth behind Ja Morant at that position.
For the Lakers, they also could use depth at the point guard spot, as there is some level of uncertainty about the future of D'Angelo Russell. While Russell would almost certainly not be replaced by a 2024 draft pick, his potential departure would open up a guard spot on the depth chart that the Lakers could fill through the draft.
There is always a lot of overlap in pre-draft workouts, as prospects meet with several teams, and Lee is one player who has reportedly worked out for the Lakers and Grizzlies.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
