After becoming a varsity regular last year, the sturdy 5-foot-9, 170-pound point guard continues to hone his game as he pursues opportunities at the next level. It’s now his senior year at Lake Oswego and Lee is coming off a summer where he felt he prepared himself for this moment.
For club ball, Lee ran with Elite 24 and enjoyed the experience. “It was really fun just to get out and get an AAU season,” Lee said. “I got to play against some high level players and it felt really good. My game came along really well, I was shooting really well, and I was able to get my teammates involved and become a better leader for this upcoming season.”
Lee noted that his best tournament was probably when the team played in Las Vegas as he felt that’s where he shot the ball the best and was also able to rack up some assists. From a recruiting perspective, he has heard some from the University of Dallas but remains open to all opportunities including another prep year after graduating from Lake Oswego.
“I want to keep on expanding my recruiting as much as possible,” Lee said. “I’ve got the motiviation to keep on reaching out to more colleges. (Prep school) is definitely an option depending on how this year goes. We’ll see.”
Outside shooting is one of the things Lee has always done well – he shot over 38 percent from three as a junior and Lake Oswego Marshall Cho has noted that Lee is one of the best shooters he’s coached since he’s been at the school. Lee knows the key for him is stepping things up with his playing and defense though if he and the Lakers are to reach their potential in 2021-22.
“I think we’ll be really good,” Lee said. “We’ve got a lot of new guys which means there’s a lot of room for improvement but I think we can get to that point where we’re really locked in and playing together to have a solid season. I’ll be really focused on defense, becoming a leader, and shooting the ball well.”
Lee currently ranks as the #86 player in the PrepHoops Oregon Class of 2022 rankings.
