Lee had 15 points, six assists, one steal and one turnover in the Phoenix Suns' Thursday home win over Brooklyn Nets.
Cameron Johnson's stellar performance in his highly anticipated return for the Suns was the biggest spark off the bench that pushed them toBut the Suns' second unit's next-best contributor was Phoenix native and backup point guard Saben Lee, who revved up their offense and defense with his 15 points , six assists, one steal and just one turnover.
Lee believed he was modest in how many of his relatives got to see him play. “I didn’t have to get too many, but about 10 ," Lee said. “He’s just coming in working hard, listening. It’s tough, especially when he was here then leaving to other teams and then everybody’s different, every team’s different," said Mikal Bridges, whom Lee backed up at point guard against the Nets.
“I was trying to teach him the reads. Sometimes if we’re running a certain play in a certain environment, if you get too deep then you can’t make the read, and that’s just something that he’ll learn from being in our system," Williams said.
