The Heat have signed undrafted forward Marcus Lee, according to a team press release.
The terms of the contract were not released but it’s likely to be an Exhibit 10 deal, which would allow Miami to designate Lee as an affiliate player in order to retain his G League rights if he’s waived during training camp.
The 6’9′ Lee played one season at Cal, averaging 11.4 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.6 BPG and 1.3 APG in 27.8 MPG while shooting 56.3% from the field as a senior. He began his college career at Kentucky.
Lee was a member of the Cavaliers’ summer league squad, averaging 6.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG and 1.6 blocks in 15.9 MPG while appearing in seven games.
Lee was supposed to be one of Calipari’s one and dones and got a bad deal, and got stuck as back up center for 3 years.
It wasn’t a bad deal. He just didn’t want to work to earn his minutes. He expected to just be given the minutes for hanging around. That attitude does not fly at Kentucky and it is not likely to do him any good in the NBA either.
He was a skinny rim protector who couldn’t shoot. Mickell Gladness with a better scoring touch. That’s it. He’s trash
