I think hes going to breakout. I know, early bold statement, but the rock will be in his hands a lot, and him and harris will be very tough to handle. I do think he will average 18 4 and 4...but I am not sure because its early...will he be drafted in leagues??? If so, where do you think he'll go? I honestly dont know, and want to get some opinions. Thanks all. Stay Clean.

18 seems like a very high number for him to score, he only scored 8.4 points per game last year while playing 25 mins. I'm sure those numbers will go up, but to project to 18 is just way to high.

If Lee could boost his scoring to 13 points that would be good

4 rebounds seems very possible

now 4 assists, I don't see why he would suddenly up his assists that much.

I would look for 13/4/2 with 1.5 3's and 1.5 steals on good % and low TO's

Lee seems like a very good late round sleeper, I got him twice in our mock draft in the 12th round. But I'm not expecting him to become a stud.

Those numbers seem a lot more reasonable. Still, I'm hoping that getting traded to the lowly Nets from the Magic will light a fire under his arse to develop his game even more. What better way to show your former team they made a mistake trading you than to go out there and produce star-like numbers? I had him on my championship team last year and I'll definitely target him in the late rounds this year.

light a fire maybe, but honestly do you think he will be a star in this league? an All star level? I personally don't. He will be a solid role player, but not a star and there is nothing wrong with that.

I really want him as a late round sleeper this year. Yeah he played a decent amount of minutes (25) in Orlando but he didn't take that many shots (7). He should be the third option on the Nets and should see his shots increase.

I can see a line of: 15ppg, 5rpg, 2apg, 1.5 3's, 1.3 steals, 1.5 TO's, .3 bpg, 44 FG%, 83 FT%

I don't think he will ever be an All-Star. He was an old rookie (he will turn 24 before the season starts), so I don't see him improving drastically enough to become an All-Star caliber player.

the Nets team is so bad, he'll have to step up this season.
but 18 points sounds a bit too high. some games i'm sure he'll hit that mark. but i'd say closer to around 14 points, most games.

he has to compete with chris douglas-roberts for minutes. i could see the two of them splitting minutes with slight more of the minutes going to lee.
roberts has all of the tools to be an effective player in the nba.
and warno, ^^^^ that is a bold prediction. i'll let you draft him.

I think Lee will win that battle pretty easily, he was a starter on the Eastern Conference champs. He played a portion of his minutes (6% of Orlando's total SF minutes) at the SF spot last year too, I see him getting 36 mins next year.

Anyways,
His per 36 last season : 12ppg, 3.3rpg, 1.7apg, 1.5 3's, 1.4 steals, 1.3 TO's, .3bpg, 45 FG%, 83 FT%

My prediction - next year: 15ppg, 5rpg, 2apg, 1.5 3's, 1.3 steals, 1.5 TO's, .3 bpg, 44 FG%, 83 FT%


The only real discrepancy between the numbers that are noticeable are points (3) and rebounds (1.7). He will be getting more shots this year so the 3 points seems reasonable and he will not be playing beside the best rebounder in the game - the 1.7 boards should also be attainable. Factor in some natural progression and it doesn't look out of the question... does it?

I like Warno's prediction.

Does anyone think these numbers can improve based on the limited preseason so far?? Im mean Harris will be in the 25pt range, Brook ~18 thats 43 points. Lets say the Nets average 90 a night that leaves 47 to be divided essentially between Yi, Lee and CDR. I dont think 18 for Lee is too crazy of a prediction.

Im really starting to warm up to this guy..he is in a great situation to produce! He is going to get plenty of run and plenty of shots.. i tihnk he can be a 17,3,2 guy with a bunch of treys and steals..44% fg.. he is basically the third option on that team and will get a ton of burn this year..

Every team doesn't have 3 good fantasy options tho.

Cant think of any teams that dont. Maybe the Kings. Bottom line is someone is going to have to score for this team besides Harris and Lopez.

I disagree. Off the top of my head - PHX, GSW, ORL, NYK, DEN, OKC, ATL, WAS have 3 or more good fantasy options.

yes, some teams do. but not everyone. Being the third option on a team doesn't make you a fantasy worthy.

While I agree Lee should be on your radar. I'm not ready to say because he the 3rd option is the reason to take him

Lets not forget NO, SA, LAL, UTAH, POR, BOS, INDY, etc.... you get the point. There really arent any teams that dont have at least 3 fantasy worthy players.

This I agree with. A lot depends on how the team run their offense, and WHO is on the team. Take the Cavs last year - outside of Lebron and Mo Williams, I wouldnt have bothered with the rest. Delonte was borderline. Same goes for the Heat and Rockets last year (I refuse to acknowledge that T-Mac even played last year )

For me, Lee will produce Ronnie Brewer type-stats. Points, 3s, steals, nothing flashy and probably a bit more inconsistent. That's my outlook.

i thought this guy was a "good" 3pts shooter

He is... small sample size to start the season, he'll get better.

buy-low option if you can. it's not like he has even been that bad though. he'll put up the numbers.

in my league, he would have a ton of value, but, that's my league. guy gets a lot of steals, shoots a good percentage and gets 3's. he'll probably average around 12 to 14 points a game.

I've been watching him...CDR is the guy to pick up on NJ.

Lee is still availible in my league but I haven't seen enough to dump Gomes for him yet...

Please please find your jump shot kid!!!!!!! I don't know how much longer i can take these horrible shooting nights..all the other stats look great! just start hitting a few damn shots!!

I'd like to see a starting lineup featuring Terrence Williams and CDR running the wings. Bump Lee.

I'm mad too, but he gets a couple steals a night and an occasional block makes him worthy of a roster spot. Please find your shot and you will be a fantasy star.

Exactly..all the peripherals are there..just needs to start hitting some shots!

His steals are crazy and he's almost unchallenged at the position... I'm thinking of dropping him for Rush but I might have to take a wait and see for now...

hes getting 40 mins a night..its his spot for the year since they traded for him..i think us owners need to be patient with him, he is too good a shooter to conitinue like this..

When his shots start to fall all will be good =D

maybe there's a reason why the Magic got rid of him


last season he was shootin wide open with Howard, Hedo, Lewis & Nelson, this year different story.......

problem he is missing WIDE OPEN shots..lay ups..just arent falling early..

Yea I'll probably stick with him... His steals are just mad right now... I just wish he could nail more treys and do a bit more dimes and boards (3-4 would be fine)...

I'm ditching this guy, he is absolutely massacring my FG% and not helping enough in the other categories. Maybe I'll pick him up again later when he starts to show something.

Disagree... he has provided some nice blocks for the G position, and the steals are elite. Point total is decent, especially considering he's in a shooting slump. I'm extremely confident his shooting will come around, and we'll start seeing a nice amount of 3's (1-3 per game) when that happens.

I really like his situation, his talent, and everything he's done thus far despite his shot not falling. I see good things ahead.

Does anyone else realize that once his FG% starts to normalize that he will easily have an average of:
+15PPG/2RPG/2APG/1-3PTM/2SPG/.8BPG/1TO/88%FT@5FTA

He is a top 50 player once his shot starts falling.

Exactly..patience owners will be highly rewarded soon.. plus this kid is on the court ALL THE TIME...and this isn't changing at all..

He's shooting 89% from the stripe, averages 2.2 steals/game and has four blocks in five games.

He's being helpful, even if his shot isn't.

I should specify that I'm in a 10-team league and there's tons of talent on the waiver wire. I dropped him for Channing Frye.

He's been a decent utility option for me. FG% will go up.

Maybe I should drop Gomes or TT and punt FG%

One thing you can't argue is that he is getting minutes...

He get hurt early in the third? Quick pull? whats going on out there?

Pretty sure he got hurt, but not sure of the injury. Also pretty sure it wasn't a ball that ricocheted hard off the rim of one of his bricks.

LOL!! his shot is so off right now its embarrassing to watch.. good thing is that he is contributing across the board, so once that shot starts falling he will be gold..at least thats what i keep telling myself!

22 minutes only... Anyone catch what happened to him?

Him and Brand decided to go out drinking midway through the 3rd quarter.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Crappy strained groin... Now I've got 2 guys on my injured list & they're supposed to supply me both with some scoring, steals and treys...

he played 1:50. did he get hurt again?
