Marcus Lee is headed back Down Under. The former Kentucky Wildcat signed a one-year deal with the Tasmania JackJumpers in the NBL in Australia, according to ESPN’s Olgun Uluc. Lee played for Melbourne United in the NBL last season before going to Italy to play for Reggio Emilia.
With Melbourne United, Lee averaged 8.8 points and a team-high 7.5 rebounds in 17 games, playing alongside fellow former Cat Isaac Humphries. In May, he wrapped his season with Reggio Emilia, averaging 4.6 points and 3.4 assists per game. Before joining the JackJumpers, he’ll return to the United States to play for the AfterShocks, a Wichita State alum team, in the TBT.
