Latest Buzz: Courtney Lee Joins Playoff-Hungry Hornets

It’s been more than a week since the Hornets made a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies to acquire shooting guard Courtney Lee and so far the eighth-year veteran seems to be settling in nicely to his new home with the Hornets. Although this will be the sixth team of his NBA career, the former first-round pick brings some valuable, much-needed shooting and defensive skill sets to a Charlotte team that has its eyes on the postseason.

Despite playing four years at mid-major Western Kentucky University, Lee was still selected 22nd overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic.
