The highest-ranked small school – and one the only at the 1A level – player on the list is Lee, who really racked up some big-time numbers as a sophomore at North Clackamas Christian. A talented shooter and scorer, he showed that much of his skills translate at a higher level as he was effective playing club basketball with G.R.I.T. as he not only scored the basketball but showed playmaking skills as well. He held his own against big school competition at elite camps and the recent Spotlight Invitational and as NCC moves up to 2A he projects as one of the top players in that classification in 2026-27.

#40 – A really good, talented team player who adds value to any lineup while on the floor. Good height and an athlete who brings immediate energy and enthusiasm to the game of basketball on both ends of the floor. Hustles, rebounds, has a nice floater, good fundamentals, and nice lateral footwork on defense as well, with good balance. Can really run the lanes, did a really solid job making the transition from offense to defense, and vice versa. Talented enough to grab a defensive rebound, weave through a few defenders for the coast-to-coast score. Good player for any system.

For his high school team Lee often has to put the entire offense on his own shoulders, but playing with GRIT you can tell he’s a well-rounded all-around guard. The rising junior certainly scored the basketball in a variety of ways, from jumpers to attacking off the bounce, but was very cognizant of where teammates where on the floor and how he could deliver them the ball. His final stats read 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Between the two teams that lost in the semifinals, Lee was the one that likely shined the most. In the loss in the semis to Open Door, in the scorebook it may have looked empty in the first half for the sophomore guard as he didn’t score any points but the truth was he was racking up stats in other categories with 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and a couple of steals. And when he finally got his first bucket with 2 minutes left in the third, he went on to score 11 points in 3 minutes and finished with a team-high 14. He ended up leading the Saints in scoring in the third place game too.
