Gary Bedore's thoughts: Lee was a great football tight end in high school and would have had big-time offers had he not made it clear early on he wanted to play basketball.

Lee has worked on his body and looks more like a basketball player than football player for his sophomore season. He does have a nice stroke from past the three-point line and may ultimately become a three-point specialist if he doesn't improve his ballhandling. He's not a turnover waiting to happen, but needs better handles.

Lee has the potential to be a good to great defensive player, a stopper. He's a smart kid who definitely wants to improve. He hasn't moped about lack of playing time, instead merely has focused on getting better.
