Following a personally frustrating, yet championship season in Golden State, Lee was traded to the Celtics and hopes to rejuvenate his career. Excluding his rookie season, Lee had career-lows in points (7.9), rebounds (5.2), and steals (0.6) per game last season, as well as in his free throw shooting (65 percent). Due to hamstring issues and Draymond Green's emergence, Lee played in only 49 games, starting only four. Lee is entering his age-32 season with something to prove. In the five seasons before last year, Lee averaged almost 19 points and 10 boards. While a return to those stats is probably unrealistic, Lee is an offensive improvement over fellow Celtic bigs Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger. But Lee's defense has always been in question. Lee struggles to provide help-side defense and rim protection, as demonstrated by his modest 0.4 blocks per game career average. Expect coach Brad Stevens to experiment from now to the trade deadline with different frontcourt lineups of Lee, Olynyk, Sullinger, Tyler Zeller, and the newly-acquired Amir Johnson. Lee is an excellent bounce-back candidate for 2015-16, his 11th year in the Association.
