Han Guk-nong-gu (CEO) team ace Lee Hyun-joong (26) has completed all his NBA Summer League schedule.

On the 19th (Korean time), Lee played 25 minutes and 47 seconds in a game against the Phoenix Suns at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, recording nine points and seven rebounds.

All of Lee's nine points that day came from his signature weapon: the 3rd-point shot.

Thanks to this, San Antonio secured an 86-81 victory over Phoenix. The team finished the Summer League with four wins and one loss in five games.

Lee had previously found confidence by scoring 11 points against the Golden State Warriors in his second Summer League game on the 6th. On the 16th, he delivered his best performance against the Utah Jazz, pouring in 22 points and grabbing five rebounds, including four 3-pointers.

This marked Lee's first time surpassing 20 points in this Summer League, drawing significant attention. CBS Sports USA praised him, stating, "The performance of young Korean player Lee Hyun-joong will undoubtedly catch the attention of NBA officials."

NBA.com also reported, "Lee Hyun-joong, a South Korean who has played on overseas professional stages, burst onto the Spurs' bench with tremendous energy. He scored 22 points, including a team-high four 3-pointers, and recorded five rebounds."

In today's game as well, Lee displayed sharp focus by sinking all three of his 3-point attempts in the first half of the second quarter. Later, he consistently contributed through rebounds.

As a result, over five Summer League games, Lee averaged 9.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals. His 3-point shooting percentage was 33.3%.

This year marks Lee's third attempt at the NBA Summer League. Although he participated in the Summer League twice before, his results were not favorable. Now, attention turns to whether he can finally achieve his dream this time.
