KK Split agrees with American Michael Lee

KK Split announced arrival of American player Michael Lee (206-F-86). 22-year old power forward supposes to land in Split tomorrow, but he will have to prove his playing potential during the one-month try out period. Lee started this season in French Pro A as a member of Cholet Basket. However, he played only one game in Pro A and one in EuroCup due to injury. Lee graduated at the St. Bonaventure University last year. At his senior season he had 17.5 ppg and 8 rpg. During the summer he spent some time with the NBA's Washington Wizards, but he wasn't chosen at the latest NBA Draft. Last year he was named 'NABC Division I All-District 2 Second Team -08'. Michael Lee supposes to replace Stephen Brun (202-F-80). As a reminder, Brun had 13 games in Adriatic league this season adding 6.9 ppg and 3.4 rpg. KK Split suffered defeat last nigh against Crvena Zvezda and it now has 6-12 record in the regional championship. After today's games it will be clear will Bosna, Olimpija and Krka join it with the same numbers. Michael Lee will most probably make his debut in the next round. His Split will meet Union Olimpija in Ljubljana.
