Damion Lee

With a game-winner to his name already this season, Damion Lee has developed as a key member of the Warriors’ second unit. He’s produced well and continued to keep stable minutes unlike Brad Wanamaker and Jordan Poole.

Like with Paschall, Lee’s scoring is down from a season ago, but we also have to remember that he isn’t being forced into taking ten-plus shots per game. Lee’s shots have been cut in half, but like with Paschall, his shooting has improved.

Lee is averaging 7.1 points per game on over 46 percent from the field. He’s also drilling 1.8 triples per game on almost 45 percent from deep. His percentages, for a player already playing under two quarters per game, is of utmost importance.

This is Lee’s third season in the Bay Area and his fourth in the NBA.

He’s always had the potential to be a rotational player, but the opportunity hasn’t necessarily been there. Despite being 28, it seems like Lee is set up to be a versatile scorer in Golden State for the next several seasons, especially considering how well he’s been playing as of late.
