    If you do a YouTube search for Xavian Lee "Kaizen," you will find hours and hours of documentaries on our new point guard, including 1 hour and 15 minutes in Season 3 that appear to all be at UF.

    Thanks. I had seen the older episodes and was wondering if they were going to drop more after getting to UF.

    Thanks. There are a bunch for everyone to watch. Here's a breakdown of his game in case anyone hasn't seen any film yet.

    Curious how he will fare against bigger, more capable defenders we will face. Like jiu-jitsu might be able to leverage size to his advantage but def won’t be playing Harvard-caliber athletes.

    Well, I can see he is fairly aggressive and has a quick release.

    Wow! Thanks for posing. Off balance shots, can drive with both hands, quick release and crafty moves. He looks like a playa!

    That’s a great video. Lee is incredibly crafty. Will be a lot of fun to watch.

    What do you think of his lateral footwork? I see him taking advantage of leverage effectively, but wonder if the wide-legged herky-jerky moves might not fly in the SEC. Chances are that he will have to adapt from some of the things we was able to do against lesser athletes.

    Will his Team Canada play be against more athletic competition?

    Is it harsh to opine that any athletic competition has to be an upgrade from the Ivy League?

    He shifts gears in a flash.
