Overview
- Lee, who went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft, agreed to the Exhibit 10 deal with Cleveland, a move first reported and widely confirmed on Thursday.
- An Exhibit 10 is a one-year, non-guaranteed, minimum-salary training-camp contract that lets a team waive a player and then offer bonuses to steer him to its G League affiliate.
- Scouts praise Lee’s playmaking, ball-handling and competitiveness but note his drop in 3-point shooting after transferring from Princeton to Florida as the main hurdle to an NBA roster spot.
- Lee showcased at the G League Elite Camp and Portsmouth Invitational but was not invited to the NBA Draft Combine, which limited his pre-draft visibility.
- If he is waived in training camp, Lee is likely to start the 2026–27 season in the Cavs’ G League pipeline where development of his outside shot and playmaking could earn him a two-way or NBA role.
