The 2006 Patriot League Player of the Year, Lee helped guide Bucknell to two straight Patriot League Championships and two straight NCAA Tournament second-round appearances. In four seasons with the Bison, he earned First Team All-Patriot League honors twice (2004, 2005) and Second Team All-Patriot League honors once (2003). He finished his career at Bucknell with 1,147 career points (11.0 ppg), 568 rebounds (5.5 rpg) and 167 steals (1.61 spg).[1]
Lee enrolled at Bucknell a year before the school started offering athletic scholarships, and never received anything more than partial financial aid.[2] The New York Times called him "[one of] college basketball's best nonscholarship players".[3] At Bucknell, Lee majored in business.[2]
After graduating in 2006, Lee played with the San Antonio Spurs during the NBA's summer league and pre-season, but he did not make the regular season roster. He has since played for Hapoel Gilboa/Afula in Israel,[1][4] Verviers-Pepinster in Belgium and MEG Goettingen and Artland Dragons in Germany.[5]
On June 25, 2012, Bucknell announced that Lee was returning to his alma mater as an assistant men's basketball coach.
