A 6-foot-5 forward, Lee has an evolving skill set and can do a little bit of everything.
“I’m a stretch forward I can post up and pop out and shoot the 3,” Lee said. “I bring a defensive and offensive presence when I’m in.”
Lee said he currently doesn’t have any schools showing interest, but Park Hill head coach Chad Jones said that is likely to change in the future. Lee is playing behind a deep and talented group of upperclassmen at the school and is essentially waiting his turn.
“He is a sophomore that is going to improve greatly over the next few years, he is 6-5 and is a really long, athletic kid with great hops,” Jones said. “As he gets stronger, people are going to start noticing him.
“He can shoot the 3, he can go inside and rebound and he is a great shot blocker. As he matures physically, people are going to start taking notice. He is just starting to come into his own as far as his skills are concerned and there is a really bright future for him.”
Lee spent the offseason playing for the Kansas City based Pumas and says the experience has helped him improve his all-around game.
“They have really improved my shot and my ballhandling,” he said. “I’m working on my ballhandling.”
