I think Marcus is going to be a much improved player coming back to the Cats as a junior and will see a lot more playing time. He is also is a great teammate and person per this article.
Lee is 6-9 and 224-pounds this season, he’s added on some weight over the summer, which will only help his game in the long run. Lee should see more playing time as a junior than he did as a sophomore, however he will still will likely be coming off the bench. As a teammate who knows his position, Lee is going to be who and what motivates the younger guys in his position to play harder and beat him for playing time. He will push them to be their best in practice, which all in all helps Lee and the other players, creating a strong team.
Not only is Lee one of the best teammates you can ask for, he’s one of the most gracious, caring people you’ll ever see. Kyle Tucker of the USA Today (and Lexington Herald-Leader) wrote this last season about Lee, it’s a touching story, but gives you insight on just who Lee is as a person.
“I cried as I read the letter,” Kim Bennett wrote to Calipari. She’d phoned her stepson and shared Lee’s words to him. “When I finished, he was as high as a kite. He couldn’t believe Marcus would write him. He immediately got out of bed. The next night, he was on the sidelines cheering and encouraging his soccer team. … It’s amazing what a few kind words can do.”
