The Rich Might Get Richer: The Terps Might Seek Graduate Transfer Drexel Transfer Damion Lee–6’6 Wing who Averaged 21 points Last Year

from barstoolsports.com
Maryland – According to multiple reports, Drexel shooting guard Damion Lee will transfer from the program. Lee plans to graduate in June, which will allow him to transfer to a new school without sitting out a season. The 6-foot-6 wing, who attended high school at Calvert Hall in Baltimore and played AAU basketball with D.C. Assault, was named first-team all-CAA this past season after averaging 21.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He shot 38.5 percent from three and 88.7 percent from the free throw line. Lee sat out the majority of the previous year with a knee injury, allowing him to receive a medical redshirt, and suffered a broken hand at the end of the 2014-15 season. In addition to having a need for an athletic wing to replace Dez Wells, there’s also a number of connections between the staff and Lee. Maryland special assistant Juan Dixon also was a star shooting guard at Calvert Hall and graduating senior Jon Graham attended Calvert Hall at the same time as Lee. Lee and Melo Trimble are also from the same AAU program.

This is fascinating news that Damion Lee is transferring from Drexel. Guy tore up the CAA last season, averaging better than 21 and 6 per game. He is the perfect piece for Maryland. Even though nothing is close to being official, I have to declare the Terps as the frontrunners to land him. He’s from Baltimore. He played for prestigious AAU team DC Assault. And he will perfectly fill in the role Dez Wells is leaving. Add in that he only has 1 year of eligibility left, why wouldn’t he come to Maryland and play aside Melo Trimble and stud 5 star center Diamond Stone? If he’s serious about winning, Maryland makes perfect sense. Without him (under the assumption Melo and Jake Layman both return) Maryland is a top 5 team in the country. With him? All bets are off the table. They’d have a chance to be the dirtiest Terps we’ll ever see.
