Dubbed the "Allen Iverson of Taiwan" by some observers, Lee has been acclaimed for his quickness and maneuverability with the basketball, since high school, where he won a scoring title. He served as the primary point guard for the Chinese Taipei men's national basketball team for most of the mid-2000s and early 2010s.
No longer a main scorer for his teams, Lee is now recognized for his low turnover rate, as well as his ability to stretch the defense with sharp driving and quick and accurate shooting, whenever the situation demands it. He is also lauded for his assist making capabilities, as well as his defensive prowess, especially against faster adversaries.
