Look at these numbers for our top 7 players:
Perry 24-27 .889
Cokley 43-49 .878 (remember how bad he used to be)
Bryant 39-46 .848
Darling 20-24 .833
Norton 10-12 .833
Sullivan 21-26 .808
Lee 11-18 .611 (and he was much better last year)

I thought it was funny at one point yesterday right after Lee attempted a three, the announcer said something about him attempting a rare three.

I have clearly noticed this, too. Lee has only 15 offensive rebounds for the season. Not only is he not proficient, at all, at boxing out in the paint, he is not even in the paint most of the time. This could be a much, much better team if he would make a significant improvement in both areas(putting himself in the paint, and boxing out.

He doesn't have the body RO play down low no lmatter how aggressive he is. If he plays at the next level, it will be based on his perimeter play. But college is maybe two games a week and he doesn't show up every game. NBA is going to be 3-4 nights a week. He's got to start showing up every game.

That's his game though. It hasn't changed in 3+ years at uab.

Maybe he's been instructed to stay out of Cokley's way underneath.
