Lee’s decision has been difficult to digest because it seems so out of character. During his three years at Kentucky, Lee seemed like the perfect “program guy.” Sure, he wasn’t a one-and-done, but he was a valuable contributor, especially in the locker room. Alongside EJ Floreal, Lee helped each crop of new guys blend into the next, keeping the pressure-cooker atmosphere that is Kentucky basketball light and fun enough to manage. In addition to that, he devoted himself to the community off the court, volunteering in his spare time and becoming an advocate for children in need, such as Kelly Melton.
