Top 250 Expo Prospect Report: Eric Lee (2019)
Richard C. Spoto High has a guy who’s inspired by the idea of competing against the best. Lee, a junior, came to the Expo looking to measure himself up against the toughest of opponents.
Q: What was your experience like in Daytona at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo?
It was a really good experience. I found out what I need to get better at, and where I’m at competition-wise.
Q: Where did you first hear about it?
I first heard about the Top 250 Expo through a text message that was sent out. I clicked on the link for the website to see what it was about. When I saw it was a basketball expo, I asked if I could go. I wanted to see who was going to be there.
Q: What was the best thing you learned?
The best thing I learned was what I needed to work on to get my game, better. When you play against players from other counties, it gives you a better idea of where you are at skill-wise. This helps me develop my game.
Q: What positives in your game grew? What negative in your game did you notice and try to fix?
The positive was that I grew my confidence. I realized once I get in my head that I can play at different levels, I played better. The negative is that I need to work on is my handles. They are not where I want them to be, but some of the drills I saw can help me to get those better.
Q: Would you recommend the expo to your peers? How come?
I would recommend Top 250 Expo to my friends. I had a good time playing against new competition. It also taught me new workouts I can do by myself everyday to improve my game.
Q: What is your role looking like this season?
My role this season is to be a team leader. I want to be there to get a quick basket when we need one. To take control of the game, and inspire my teammates to play their best.
One of the greatest traits you can exude is confidence in your skill, regardless of being aware of knowing how high or low that skill level is. Lee seemed to gain more of that after attending the Expo.
