The fact Rick and staff have liked him a while should allay the usual fears, concerns re ratings, Ivy level of play and wanting “studs”. He has shown he is a distributor, highly coachable, rebounds well and can score. We need a competent pass first PG and imo he fits the bill. The current SJ portal challenge is not filling out a McD AA team, rather it is putting together a talented group with great chemistry. Imo Lee would highly contribute to achieving that. Getting him is another issue. 🤞

Watched the highlights of Lee vs. Rutgers. The assist numbers are tantalizing, and he did drop some dimes in the reel. Putting that on hold for a minute is he a lead guard? I didn't notice (in the highlights) that he was bringing the ball up the court or leading the offense. I also noticed he was nowhere near Harper on defense.

Looks super quick and to have incredible IQ. Obviously, if Rick wants him to be his lead guard next year, I should shut my mouth and cross my fingers we get him. Just curious if anyone knows more about him.
 
Watched this kid a couple of times this year. He’s excellent. Not sure about his defense but he can run a half court offense and is a potentially great fit with Sanon and Sim imo
We should expect the defense to take a step back as the offense takes a leap forward.

But we should also expect the team to continue its defense first identity. It just may not be required for 40 minutes because they will score a bit more giving the team an occasional breather on the defensive end.
