A Marcus Lee update

On Saturday, Marcus Lee played 18 minutes in Kentucky's victory over Buffalo, with five rebounds, two points and a blocked shot to his credit.

Sam Vecenie wrote post-game:
"...Marcus Lee is struggling to find his role. We knew that playing Lyles, Johnson and Lee together wasn't exactly a great fit based on their skillsets. It seems to be affecting Lee the most, as he isn't really impacting the game the way he's capable of. Lee is being used in the post right now on offense, but he's not strong enough to establish deep position like Johnson. His defensive movement is still great and he affected several shots in the second half with his activity level. But even there it seems like he's a bit out of place sometimes. I wonder if eventually it might make sense to try out Derek Willis instead to stretch the floor on offense, a role currently being taken by Lyles..."
