Along with Larry Finch and Penny Hardaway, Lee ranks among the best multi-year players to ever wear a Tigers uniform. In his four seasons, the Tigers went 104-24 and reached the 1985 Final Four. He was an Associated Press All-American for four consecutive seasons. A 6-foot-11 center, Lee scored 2,408 points, the most by any Tiger in history.

A highly recruited player from West Memphis High, Lee came to the program beginning with the 1981-82 season and made an immediate impact. Powered by Lee, the Tigers made four consecutive NCAA appearances, including their second trip to the Final Four.

Lee also guided the program to three Metro Conference titles and to a then-school-record 31 wins during the 1984-85 season. He also helped the Tigers find permanent residence in the final Associated Press Top 20 poll all four seasons.

The four-time Associated Press All-American was Metro Conference Player of the Year in 1982 and 1985 and was named to 29 All-American teams. In addition to being the program's career scoring leader, he also is the school's career rebounding leader with 1,336.

Lee was selected in the first round of the 1985 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. He was the 11th pick overall.
