Marcus Lee Stocks are on the Rise

According to KentuckySports,  Marcus Lee stocks are on the rise. Do we agree?

Marcus Lee, a Kentucky signee, moved up 18 spots in the latest Scout.com ranking, a big jump landing him on the 21st spot overall. The question on everyone’s mind is will he be moving up some more. He averages 18 points, 20 rebounds, and 7 blocks per game for De4er Valley this season. He had a similar average when he was a junior, consistent stats or getting even better.

“He’s really talented,” Daniels told the Herald-Leader. “I think he can impact the game on the defensive end and impact the game with his ability to rebound. I think those are probably the things that really spurred his move.”

Daniels said the fact that Lee has achieved five-star status despite a limited offensive game only shows how good he can be.

“I think he’s showed some signs that (his offense) can be improved and get better down the road,” Daniels said. “I still think that’s the biggest area for improvement for him. I don’t think he’s a guy right now that you throw the ball to on the block and say, ‘Go score me a bucket.’
