Marcus Lee, who tested the NBA water before withdrawing on Wednesday, announced that he will not be returning to Kentucky after three seasons in Lexington.
Lee ranks 20th all-time with 100 career blocks. He averaged 3.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocked shots in 100 career games at Kentucky.

Lee shot a team-best 68.0 percent from the floor this past season, the best single-season FG percentage in school history.

Lee, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 6.4 ppg. and 6 rebounds last season. The California native will likely have to sit out a season as it does not appear he finished his degree.
Kentucky guard Isaiah Briscoe announced he was returning to school earlier in the day.
Lee joins Charles Mathews as two member’s of last year’s team who transferred out of the Wildcats program.
