Marcus Lee was the first UK player to find out firsthand what John Calipari meant when he said the platoon system is “not communism.”
With Willie Cauley-Stein, Lee's first-platoon counterpart, dominating in a top-10 matchup with Texas, Lee was informed in the locker room he would move into a backup role in the second half.
It would have been understandable had Lee been a little down playing just one minute after halftime. Instead, he sat back and enjoyed the show.
“It was great the other game just watching him go off,” Lee said. “That's the greatest I've seen Willie and that's just the kind of team we are.”
