Hyunjung Lee
Around NBA circles, Hyunjung Lee isn’t a hot commodity. Yet, even with the former Davidson star expected to go unselected during this year’s draft, the Clippers should be ready to pounce when given the opportunity.
When checking his measurables, Lee comes in ideally. Standing 6’7” and weighing a shade over 200 pounds, Lee has the look of an NBA player. His game, more importantly, would seem to fit on any team.
In two of Lee’s three seasons in Davidson, he shot 85% from the free throw line and at least 46% from the floor overall. His 3-point shooting is also a thing of beauty. Having connected on 39.7% of his shots from distance during his three seasons, Lee is a knock-down shooter once he gets a clear look at the basket.
His defense, unsurprisingly, wasn’t impressive but it won’t be needed in LA. The Clippers have long and athletic defenders on the wing and versatile bigs on the inside to cover up for Lee’s issues on that side of the ball. Where Lee can truly help is through his shooting. The Clippers closed out the year with the second best percentage from distance, at 37.4%. Adding another shooter will only add to LA’s spacing. He won’t get a ton of minutes but Lee’s shooting should get him a look and a contract with LA if he goes undrafted.
