David Lee

David Lee had a bit of resurgence last season (as many do under Gregg Popovich unless your name is LaMarcus Aldridge). The 12-year pro in his first full season with San Antonio played in 79 games and started 10 for the Spurs. In 18.7 minutes per game, David averaged 7.3 points and 5.6 rebounds on 59% shooting from the field. The San Antonio Spurs ORtg with him on the floor was 120 and he had a +17 net rating according to basketballreference.com. In his 10 starts, David Lee averaged 11.9ppg on a field goal percentage of 69.9% while chipping in 9.2 rebounds in just under 28 minutes per game.

David’s fit in Washington would be depth behind Markieff Morris, who had an inconsistent 2016-2017 season and struggles with foul trouble. David Lee is a solid pick and roll player as well posting PPP (point per possession) as the roll man of 1.04 last season for the Spurs (for comparison’s sake, Marcin Gortat was at 1.09 last season).

In 2016 David Lee was even better as the role man with a PPP of 1.17 in a 25 game stint with the Dallas Mavericks. Lee would give Washington a seasoned pro who can get boards and finish consistently at the basket (70% FG at the rim per basketballreference.com) and would be a welcome addition to the back-end of the roster.
