Sean Kilpatrick vs. Courtney Lee

Sean Kilpatrick (2015-16): 13.8 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 1.1 APG, 0.4 SPG

Courtney Lee (2013-14): 11.0 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, 0.9 SPG

The next comparison is one many people wouldn’t expect, and that’s how similar Sean Kilpatrick and Courtney Lee are as players. Physically, they are completely different, but if you look into their styles of play and the fact that they are both shooting guards, you see very strong traits exuded by both of them.

Both don’t need much time to pull up and find a shot. Additionally, both are strictly about shooting and at times, can’t get deadly from behind the arc. Finally, both are spark plugs, even when they start for their teams. Starting or coming off the bench, they can turn the game around just like that for their respective teams. and that’s why they’re so similar and a vital piece to their teams.
