Lee Hyun Jung is a Korean basketball player who competes at the NCAA level for Davidson College. Lee grew up playing basketball in Korea before moving to the United States to participate in the NCAA. In middle and high school, he was a one-of-a-kind player.

He once grabbed a scout's eye and was invited to the NBA-sponsored Asian Pacific Team camp.

He put his skills to the test there, and he had some amazing games, demonstrating that he has the potential to be a star player.

He demonstrated that he is more than simply a basketball player after the camp, receiving offers from division 1 basketball schools, and deciding to attend Davidson College.

He averaged 8 points per game in his first season, 13 points in his second season, and 15

points per game in his third season. Lee is a fantastic shot with a height advantage; thus no one could simply stop him.

He worked on his game for three years and led his team to this year's NCAA tournament, which is known as March Madness. March Madness is a worldwide phenomenon. It's an elimination event, so each team only gets one shot. 

Players who make a positive impression on scouts have a better chance of getting into the NBA. Lee has achieved this position by demonstrating his ability to lead his squad. Davidson faced Michigan State and lost by three points. He played a good game, scoring 11 points, but it wasn't enough to get Scouters' attention. Lee is predicted to be selected in the second round of the 2022 NBA draft on June 23rd. If picked, he will become only the second Korean to play in the NBA.
