Former WKU greats Courtney Lee, Jeremy Evans find longevity in top league
WKU is represented in the NBA by two former Hilltopper legends -- Courtney Lee and Jeremy Evans .
After helping lead WKU as far as the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, Lee and Evans have found long-term homes in basketball's finest league.
Lee recently completed his eighth year in the NBA. He was the 22nd overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. The journeyman has played for six teams during his pro career, but he made a splash at the end of the 2015-16 season after a trade to the Charlotte Hornets.
