Twice asked to join the national team before circumstances finally aligned for him the third time, Paul Lee is one of 4 Rain or Shine players on the Gilas Pilipinas national team.
The former UE Red Warrior and PBA Rookie of the Year made his way onto the FIBA World Cup lineup after a splendid showing in the FIBA Asia Cup in July. He took the place of guard Larry Fonacier who backed out due to health reasons.
The 25-year old Lee was consistent for coach Chot Reyes during the FIBA Asia Cup, saving his best for last in the battle for third where he calmly knocked down 3 pressure-packed free throws with no time on the clock to escape China and take home the bronze medal.
Drafted second overall by Rain or Shine in 2011, the 6-foot combo guard easily transitioned into Reyes’ dribble-drive system, playing his best games when paired with a playmaker on the wing.
Lee is a deadly shooter from the perimeter and has proven time and again, whether in the local pro league or in international play, that he has nerves of steel and a fighting spirit that fits perfectly with Gilas Pilipinas. – Rappler.com
