Last season's Patriot League Player of the Year, Bucknell grad Charles Lee, was cut yesterday by the San Antonio Spurs, ending, for now, his hopes of playing in the NBA.

The Spurs cut three players, dropping their roster to 14, one below the league maximum. According to the San Antonio Express-News, the team has decided to wait and see who becomes available as teams make their final cuts before deciding whther or not to fill that open roster spot.

Previous reports from beat writer Johnny Ludden had indicated Lee's chances of sticking with the Spurs this season were slim. But Ludden has expressed optimism that Lee will eventually play in the league. Ludden said scouts think Lee, at 6-3, is too small to play the wing in the NBA and needs to learn to play the point.
