More on Dominique and Demetrius Lee

Talked with Casper College Coach Joel Davidson recently in order to get updates on former St. Mary's High players Dominique and Demetrius Lee.

Davidson noted that the photos of both (on the Thunderbird Facebook page) reading to elementary school children took place during finals week at Casper and that the Lees volunteered to do so because of the persons they are and having their academics in order.

Dominique scored 6.5 points (55% shooting) and grabbed 4.3 rebounds this past season but was hindered by injuries (a shin stress fracture and then later a concussion when he got clipped going for a rebound). Dom played in 20 games and averaged 12 minutes a contest. He mostly played at the four spot due to the team composition. "We'll be playing him at the four and the three this season," Davidson noted, who also said "Dominique is 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds now."

Demetrius redshirted this past season after starting 30 games as a freshman. Davidson said he'll be using him to guard anywhere from the one to the three and that "Demetrius is definitely one of the better defenders in our league." He added, "we're trying to slow Demetrius down offensively. He wants to be as aggressive on offense as he is on defense."

He added, "Both the Lee's are great kids and have had a positive influence on our campus. They get along with everyone and handle their business academically. We are expecting big things out of both of them this season. They will be great role models for our incoming freshman."

In Davidson's biography, his preferred style of play is described as "... Davidson loves to coach an up-tempo brand of basketball. He likes that style for a couple of reasons – his players love to play that way and fans love to watch it. Intense defense for 94 feet can produce turnovers and easy baskets. That's the goal."

That is a perfect matchup for both Lees.

Both are on track to graduate.
