Lee is like a time-bomb, so athletic and when he starts playing under control he is going to explode.

Well, it wasn't as though he wasn't ready last year. The problem was that he was playing behind the No. 1 pick (Karl-Anthony Towns) in the draft and the No. 4, 5, 6 pick (Willie Cauley-Stein) in the draft and behind Dakari (Johnson), that's going in the 20s," Calipari said before the NBA draft.

"I mean, he was ready, but they were more ready. It was just that. But he still played, still gave him opportunities to go do his thing. I think this is his time, and I've said it to him: 'This is your time to go and do what you're supposed to do. There's no reason now. You're going to have minutes.'

"I told him, 'That elbow offensive game, you've got to be able, they've got to guard you when you catch it on the elbow. You got to make free throws better, because you're going to get fouled. You're going to fly up and down that court.'

When Lee is on the floor teams are going to have tough time down low. His speed doesn't hurt either and when he is filling a lane no one is going to be able to stop him. Next years team is going to be special with all their athleticism.

A front line of Skal, Lee, Poythress and Willis should own the boards. Guards like Murray, Matthews, Briscoe and Ulis will make us deep and extremely talented in the back-court. Can't wait to watch them run and gun as they all are so athletic.
