JULY 14: The Warriors have officially signed Lee to a two-way contract, the team announced today in a press release.
JULY 10: Damion Lee has agreed to a two-way contract with Warriors, Chris Haynes of ESPN.com reports.
Lee, who will soon marry Stephen Curry‘s sister, Sydel, played in 15 games for the Hawks last season. The shooting guard received a pair of 10-day deals with the club late in the season before signing with Atlanta for the remainder of it.
The 25-year-old played the majority of last season for the Warriors’ G League affiliate. Lee spent parts of two seasons in the G League after not hearing his name called on draft night 2016. He split his collegiate career between Drexel University and the University of Louisville.
He gave the Hawks good minutes down the stretch last season. Good for him.
Agreed. He was awesome in summer league for the heat a couple of years ago, but went to training camp with the Celtics before he tore his ACL again. He’s a good 2 way guard, and he can play on the wing as well. He kind of reminds of Gerald Green, but with a much higher basketball IQ and being a better defender
Wow amazing, and it’s not even 1 of their open roster spots. I personally think he is an NBA player, and I think he fits GS.
….yo I just realized he’s also marrying Curry’s sister lol. Times are pretty good
I believe the word in searching for is nepotism.
that would imply that he’s a terrible player, he’s not.
Doesn’t imply terribleness. Does imply he gained unfair favor over More worthy candidates. It’s just a 2 way deal tho and they need cheap wing depth with experience. I think he was on the SC warriors before dating the sister anyway.
Every little helps!!!
