Bucknell grad Charles Lee only appeared in three games with the San Antonio Spurs summer league team, but apparently that was enough to make a favorable impression. The Spurs have signed the 2006 Patriot League Player of the Year to a free agent contract.

Lee averaged only 4.7 points, 2.0 steals and 12.0 minutes in those three games at the Rocky Mountain Revue. But after spending much of the week on the bench, Lee put up 10 points and four steals in over 18 minutes of action in the Spurs' final game of the summer league event, apparently opening a few eyes.

The Spurs roster is currently at 19, with one more free agent signing expected before camp opens. NBA teams can carry five players in the regular season. Since four Spurs have guaranteed contracts, that likely means Lee will be one of five competing for the final roster spot.
