Paul John Dalistan Lee (born February 14, 1989) is a Filipino professional basketball player currently playing for Rain or Shine Elasto Painters for Philippine Basketball Association. He is drafted 2nd by Rain or Shine in the 2011 PBA draft. He is currently one of the deadliest 3pt shooters in the league right now because of his accuracy and his percentage. He is known as Lee-thal Weapon, Angas ng Tondo

Early life and college career

When he was a high school freshman in San Sebastian College, he was discovered when he was playing in the school’s intramurals. The coach spotted him, made him try out and placed him in the lineup the following year. The San Sebastian Staglets would go on to win the NCAA Juniors Championship in his senior year.[1]

In 2007, he was recruited by then coach Dindo Pumaren of the University of the East, which at that time had formidable backcourt players like Raffy Reyes, Paul Zamar, James Martinez and Marcy Arellano. His role during that time was with the 2nd squad. He was known as the 6th man, the main replacement for then King Warrior Marcy Arellano. In 2008, his game flourished when Lawrence Chongson took over to coach the team.[2] Chongson later became his adviser, and currently an agent.[3]

He received the Most Improved Player award in UAAP Season 72.[4] He then became a part of Mythical Team during the UAAP Season 73.

He also played for Cobra Energy Drink Iron Men in the Philippine Basketball League and later in the PBA Developmental League coached by Chongson.

In his last year in UE, he was playing hurt, but he didn't want anybody to know about it.[5]

Professional career

He was picked 2nd overall by Rain or Shine during the 2011 PBA draft.[6] By the end of the 2011–12 PBA season, he was awarded Rookie of the Year, and won his first ever PBA championship with the Elasto Painters, though he did not play in the championship series due to injury.

Recently, in 2014, he was requesting the Rain or Shine management to trade him by personally calling up coach Yeng Guiao.[7] However, Guiao and the Rain or Shine management are hell bent on keeping him at all cost. After Lee returned from Spain following his Gilas stint in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, he went to a sabbatical by not showing up to Rain or Shine practice or even talking to the media, creating speculations of him pushing through signing up with another team. A few days later, he finally showed up, and after a heart-to-heart talk with coach Yeng Guiao, he finally decided to stay with the Elasto Painters.[8] On September 19, 2014, he, together with his agent Lawrence Chongson, signed a 2-year max deal to stay with Rain or Shine.[9]

Playing for Gilas Pilipinas

Lee was officially included in the roster that competed in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[10] He also led the team to a bronze medal finish in the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup after converting three crucial free-throws with no time remaining against host China.[11][12][13]
