With his 4 blocks tonight. William Lee now has 102 blocks. That places him 6th on the All time block list, just behind Mehinti's 122 blocks. Lee moved past Lawrence Kinnard and Eddie Collins tonight. Mehinti seems stuck at his spot. Lee will pass him soon unless he gets going.

BLOCKS
1. OGG, Alan (86-90) 266
2. MOORE, Cameron (08-12) 137
3. MINCY, Jerome (82-86) 131
4. ANCHRUM, Norman (80-82) 125
5. MEHINTI, Tosin (13- ) 122
6. LEE, William (14- ) 102
7. KINNARD, Lawrence (05-09) 100
8. COLLINS, Eddie (84-88) 99

Lee has got a good shot to catch Ogg barring disaster and continued improvement. Long way to go still.

I think Lee finishes at #2 and Mehinti at #3.

I can see that happening, Lee has a shot at it if he keeps current pace

He would need 133 at the end of the season to be on pace to tie Ogg. That's only 31 blocks away.

He's got a great shot to take the lead...assuming last night's performance doesn't become the new normal for him and we lose him early to the NBA.

The thing that may hinder Lee's chance at being the #1 blocker is that Tosin and some of his other teammates may take some of his blocks from him.

That hasn't hurt him this year. If Lee stays with us his full four years, he will be #1. That's my bold prediction.

Mehinti hasn't done much this year. I don't think he has any blocks in conference play. Lee will pass him by the end of the month, most likely.

Just saying it may be a position thing. Lee may get more blocks at the 5 instead of the 4 or vice versa depending on who he covers.

I think the thing that most hurts his chances is that he probably going pro before his senior year.

Lee is going to have to improve by leaps and bounds before he makes the NBA. He is very inconsistent. Just remember back to the beginning of the season. He's played well a few games now, but that doesn't equate early departure for the NBA.

Have to be conference player of the year probably for starters.
Very few slots for guaranteed contracts.
