In a recent game the announcers said he would graduate after this year and be eligible to transfer to continue his post graduate education without sitting out a year. Is there any truth or possibility?
 
May be possible but I hope he doesn't. I like Marcus & would love to see him back.
 
That could be an option. In reality, you do that for a chance to compete for a better chance in March or improve your draft stock. Both of those relate to staying at uk. He stays.
 
Yeah, Matt Jones mentioned it on his show last week from what I heard. With that being the case, I'd be surprised if he was back next year. If he can get drafted in the second round I think he will. If not he may go somewhere he'd be more of a main feature. I live the guy but he's losing minutes to Derek Willis for god sake. How many minutes is he going to get competing with Bam Adebayo?
 
Lee is losing minutes to Willis because Willis is a better basketball player. Lee is very limited on the floor. He's an energy guy. If he is not getting rebounds, getting put backs, and blocking shots he really can't give you anything. His on ball defense is not great, and offensively he's very limited. Lee may come out this year, but he's not an NBA player. Would be surprised if he gets drafted, but as Jason said, it's a very weak draft.
 
Marcus Lee loves being at Kentucky, I think he will stay and try to win a championship, why would he leave now, he has always said he was happy with what ever he could do to help Kentucky win a championship.
 
I like his passion and effort , but Lee will not make an NBA roster. He hasn't gained a substantial amount of weight in his time to throw his body around down low as a center, he can't stretch the floor with his shooting. Just not a next level guy. It happens.
