Evaluating MLee after Duke game

From Draft Express after viewing Marcus (Deer Valley High) Lee in the Kentucky win over Duke: "Lee was highly productive in his 22 minutes, posting a double-double, and giving Kentucky some much needed energy on both ends of the floor. He ran the court nicely and beat Duke's big men up the floor twice for dunks, and also was a reliable presence as a finisher in the half-court with his good hands and soft touch. He was a pogo stick on the offensive glass all night, earning Kentucky a number of extra possessions with his tremendously quick second bounce, and was active on defense, particularly with his versatility on the pick and roll. He also surprised with one really nice pass from the baseline to a cutting Isaac Humphries, something we had seen very little of in his first two seasons.

On the downside, Lee's body looks very similar to how it did when he arrived at Kentucky, and there are serious questions about whether he has the strength and bulk needed to not get pushed around at the NBA level. He's essentially a 6'9 center without a very high skill-level, something that is not difficult to find outside the college ranks. Lee's productivity (this was his first double-double of his career) will help keep scouts interested, but to emerge as a higher caliber prospect, they'll likely want to see more."
