Lee accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, a rebound, and a steal over 27 minutes in Thursday's preseason win over Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.
Lee has produced similar numbers in both of the Grizzlies' preseason games, as he scored 11 points on four made field goals, including two three-pointers, in Tuesday's exhibition against the Rockets. After starting 74 of 77 games with the Grizzlies last season, it appears Lee will again top the depth chart at shooting guard in 2015-16 while seeing around 30 minutes per contest.

Lee averaged 10.1 points (44.8 FG, 40.2 3Pt, 86.0 FT), 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.2 blocks in 31 minutes per game during 77 regular season games in 2014-15.
Shooting 40.2 percent from beyond the arc was good for the 20th best mark in the league, but only attempting 2.9 per game doesn't help his counting stats. In 11 postseason games he averaged 13.3 points (55.0 FG, 46.7 3Pt, 95.7 FT), 2.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 33 minutes per game. Lee is entering the final year of his current contract with the Grizzlies and turns 30 in October.
