Analysis:

Lee was the favorite to start in Boston but it's entirely possible that he'll also be utilized off the bench under certain circumstances throughout the season. Despite a down year with the Warriors in 2014-15 where he was stuck on the pine, Lee previously had eight consecutive seasons where he averaged more than 10 points and eight rebounds per game.
