More on MLee

Jonathan Wasserman on Marcus Lee after the Kentucky - Louisville matchup:

"Marcus Lee only needed 10 minutes to make an impact. He blocked three shots in that span, including a big one on Montrezl Harrell. 

He also pulled in two offensive boards, including a putback slam.

Lee essentially has three jobs to focus on when entering a game, and they all fall under the same umbrella—finishing, shot blocking and crashing the offensive glass.

He offers tremendous interior activity, and given his athleticism, nose for the ball and motor, you get the feeling it could translate to the NBA level in a specialist role that allows him to stick to his strengths.

Without much of a post game or jumper, I'd imagine Lee might stay in school for his junior year, where he'll have more touches to show off his ball skills. Either way, he's established himself as a draftable prospect for any team looking to inject some above-the-rim bounce and electricity to its frontcourt..."
