Patty Mills Off Suns’ Radar; Saben Lee’s Two-Way Deal Likely to Convert to Standard

The Phoenix Suns have an available spot on their team. Recently, the Pistons and Hawks waived Mike Muscala and Patty Mills, respectively, with Muscala agreeing to a buyout.

John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 suggests that the Suns aren’t interested in either player.

Instead, they are likely to convert Saben Lee’s two-way contract into a standard one, which Gambadoro believes is highly probable.

It’s important to note that Lee, drafted 38th in 2020, is in his fourth NBA season and won’t be eligible for two-way contracts beyond the current season.

This season, Saben Lee has been scoring an average of 3.5 points per game, grabbing 1.5 rebounds, and dishing out 1.2 assists, with a field goal percentage of 41.2%.

He holds the highest free throw rate among NBA players who have played at least 100 minutes, as per Sam Cooper . Despite being a guard with lower usage, Lee averages 9.6 free throw attempts per 36 minutes of play.
