In a season filled with pleasant surprises, Courtney Lee’s career-year has been among the most unexpected. The 32-year-old New York Knicks guard is averaging 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.4 steals—all of which are career-highs.
In the wake of Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose’s departures, Lee has stepped up to fill the offensive void. In 77 games last season, he scored 20 or more points just four times.
He’s already done so on just three occasions in 24 games in 2017-18, and he’s doing it in a variety of ways.
