College career
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]
Professional career
After graduating from Bucknell 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]
Coaching career
On June 25, 2012, Bucknell announced that Lee was returning to his alma mater as an assistant men's basketball coach.
On August 20, 2014, the Atlanta Hawks announced that Lee had been hired as an assistant coach on head coach Mike Budenholzer’s staff.[6]
After Budenholzer parted ways with the Hawks and became the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, Lee would move to Milwaukee and join Budenholzer’s staff as an assistant coach in 2018.[7][8] After the departure of top assistant coach Darvin Ham to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2022, Lee would ascend to become the associate head coach of the Bucks.[9]
On June 11, 2023, it was reported that Lee would be hired by the Boston Celtics as their top assistant coach.
Personal life
Lee is married to his college sweetheart Lindsey and have three children together (Corinne, Vivian and Josephine). Both attended and played basketball at Bucknell.
