Golden State Warriors: Damion Lee will be more than the brother-in-law

The Golden State Warriors signed Damion Lee for one simple fact: he can ball.

I get it. Golden State Warriors two-way signee Damion Lee is related to the best shooter ever, but whenever we write or tweet the name Damion Lee can we not put Damion Lee, brother-in-law of Steph Curry?

He didn’t get signed only because Steph is related to him. That could have been a factor, but as for now, we don’t know.

Whether you want to admit it or not the man can actually play. He didn’t just pop up from nowhere, and if your favorite YouTuber makes no mention of his time with the Red Claws and the Santa Cruz Warriors, then they are doing you a great disservice.

If you want to learn more about his road to the NBA, a couple of months ago, he did a great article called “No White Flags” with the Players Tribune.

Today’s edition of TimeOut, I am going to focus more on the statistics side of Damion Lee’s journey in the G-League thus far.

Generally, Lee has many upsides: he can pass the ball and is willing to do it, make threes, can shoot in the paint and is active around the rim. Defensively, he makes an effort although he can be passive at times. For his career thus far, he has 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Regarding his shooting percentage, Lee is the most efficient from less than eight feet at 62%. From over 24 feet, he is 31.3%, making 50 out of the 160 attempts. Most of the points Lee makes is from the restricted area (63.2%).

Although the three-point range is not his strongest area, he shoots around the same percentage from the left three, right three and above the arc at 30.0%, 29.4% and 31.7% respectively.

In Part two of this series, I will continue discussing the upside and downside of Damion Lee’s game.
