NBA: Magic sign No. 22 pick Lee

Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Magic signed first-round draft pick Courtney Lee today.

The 6-foot-5 guard from Western Kentucky will receive about $1 million in each of his first two pro seasons. NBA rookie salaries are preset by a league scale based on when they were chosen.

The Magic took Lee with the No. 22 pick in last week's draft.

Lee is expected to play next week in the six-team NBA summer league the Magic are hosting.
