Can lee play pg? he seems like an upgrade to Bogans at the 2, but I think he is a combo gaurd who can play the one as well

He played pg in college and did very well then switched back to sg when his school got a really good pg the next year. So yes he can be another Dooling.

I don't like to be dogmatic, but I never saw Lee play PG. I watched quite a bit of WKU ball since I'm an alum and he played either SG or SF his whole career.

He occasionally brought the ball up and they did use him some to initiate the offense, but the PG's for Western were Rumph then Tyrone Brazelton.

Since I didn't see a thread about him, I guess we can keep all the discussion in here.

I'll start off..

Whats up with Magic picking up players with girly names?

Penny (Anfernee), Tracy, Stacey Augmon, Courtney Lee, Doug CHRISTIE

don't forget ryan ashley humphrey.

er, anyway, i don't know anything about this dude.

will he be able to start for us by the middle of next season?

also, and i asked this in the draft thread: when is jj leaving?

CourtsideTV · Post #6 » by **CourtsideTV** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 3:08 am

who are the players on the magic that dont have contracts with us right now?

we need to get rid of bogans, dooling, arroyo, foyle, garrity

pretty much our entire bench and sign someone like ricky davis.

Foyle is already basically gone... bogans will stay, arroyo and garrity will probably be gone, i have no clue about dooling hope he stays though

You need to checkout DraftExpress because they disagree with you saying that he played pg his soph year.

Lots of people were questioning why Orlando should have done like Portland and bought a pcik. Tht debate s is closed. Arthur for cash. Amazing what an on the ball Gm can accomplish.

Im happy w the pick, it seems solid... I just hope we can snatch on of Chicagos PG's.... Kirk would be awesome

I always get mad watching the draft. Im actually not upset with taking Lee although I thought Arthur woulda been a helluva pick at 22. I jus get annoyed when I see Miami grab a guy like Chalmers who woulda been great for us so cheap. Or Bill Walker, a guy I really like go for cash. Hell even Darrell Arthur went for cash. Why cant we ever get in on some of this stuff? Hopefully they have a plan to fill the need at backup PG/SF/C with the MLE.

i think lee will be pretty good, he might be able to start pretty early, hes only gotta beat out bogans and jj..i just hope he becomes a very productive player, starter or off the bench, we dont need another no production guy 4 years in a row..

ESPN Mag reported that Lee weighed in at 6'4 and 197 with the Magic. They said this was up an inch from his previous tryout (6'3). He is listed at 6'5 and 210 on most draft boards though. Hmmm.
