Not to jynx it, but could Malcolm Lee be a huge draft steal?

Not at all. I don't think he'll be a starter for a few years, maybe even never. He's definitely going to have to work hard right off the bat to get decent backup minutes. Maybe in the future, but we have to see the guy play first.

I think there may be a slim chance. Rubio doesn't shoot enough. Wes was not very aggressive last year. Adelman keeps saying he likes Lee's aggressiveness. I think there could be something there...

Malcolm Lee seeing a lot of time so far in camp w/ what looks like A team lineups. He's w/ RR, AR, DW and Devean on floor right now

Rubio, Tolliver has looked good as well. And Malcolm Lee has been the sleeper hit so far. RT @kingleo702: who is standing out in camp?

Well with Webster out the only other player on the roster who looks the part skills wise at SG is Ellington, so I think Lee will get plenty of opportunity. I hope Lee does well and it would be a huge boon if a 2nd rounder could be a major contributor at a position of need. While Howland products have done better in the NBA, I'm still hesitant to expect much from Lee.

I was high on Lee well before the draft, was dismayed when we didn't take him in the late first round, ecstatic when he slipped to us at number 43 or whatever. I think there is a chance that he does start for us opening day, and a good chance he starts sometime this season.

Reports out of camp are that Lee has been shooting well, too. I think he's gonna take Wes' job.

I like that Tolliver is standing out too. I hope Adelman can find him minutes.
