Lee takes home Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week accolades for the second time this season and fifth time in his career after helping lead the Colonials to a 3-1 record over the last two weeks. He averaged 15.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 9.0 apg and 3.8 spg, while shooting 59.1 percent from the floor. On December 17, he nearly secured his first career triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and four steals in a 74-71 win at Youngstown State. Just two days later, Lee recorded his second double-double of the week and fourth of the year with 14 points, six rebounds, ten assists and five steals as the Colonials rolled to a 91-73 win over Canisius. Last Friday, the Boston, MA native finished with 17 points, six rebounds, seven assists and three steals in an 86-70 setback to local rival Duquesne. Robert Morris bounced back on Sunday with an 88-76 triumph over Lafayette as Lee finished with 16 points, six boards, nine assists and three steals to lift the Colonials’ record to 8-5 on the season. In the midst of one of the great all-around seasons in NEC history, Lee leads the NEC and ranks in the top-10 nationally with 7.7 apg and 3.2 spg. He also ranks second in rebounding (7.1 rpg), third in field goal percentage (.534), seven in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.61:1) and 10th in scoring (14.4 ppg).
