Lee’s 24 in Reno

Lee has scored 24 points just twice this season, and one of those occurrences came against the Reno Bighorns just three days after his big game against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Playing 30 minutes, Lee tallied 24 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals on 8-of-16 shooting from the field (50.0 percent), 3-of-6 shooting from behind the arc (50.0 percent) and a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe.

Despite such a strong performance, the Sea Dubs lost that contest 117-112 at the Reno Events Center on Nov. 27, 2017.

If Lee’s role was still up in the air going into Reno, then this was certainly the game that cemented him into Aaron Miles‘ rotation.
