Malcolm Toshio Lee (born May 22, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for Trabzonspor of the Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL). As a college basketball player with the UCLA Bruins, he received all-conference honors in the Pacific-10 (later known as the Pac-12). After his junior year, he was selected in the second round of the 2011 NBA draft, and began his professional career with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Lee was born in Riverside, California, to Toshio and Delma Lee. He attended John W. North High School in Riverside.
Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Lee was listed as the No. 5 shooting guard and the No. 47 player in the nation in 2008.
Lee was named to the All-Pac-10 first team and Pac-10 All-Defensive team in his junior year at UCLA in 2011. He declared for the NBA draft after the season against the advice of UCLA coach Ben Howland. ESPN, Fox Sports, and Yahoo also questioned Lee's decision.
Lee was drafted in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft with the 43rd overall pick by the Chicago Bulls. He was traded on draft night to the Minnesota Timberwolves along with the draft rights to Norris Cole, the 28th pick, for the draft rights to Nikola Mirotić, the 23rd pick.
