Lee recovered from a shoulder injury to post a strong senior season at Crossroads, helping them to an 18-10 record that finished with losses to powerhouse Mater Dei and Redondo Union in the playoffs.

Lee’s stats at Crossroads and coach Chad Beeten were unavailable, but Southern California-based Scout analyst Josh Gershon said he was impressed with how Lee played this season.

“Ira has always been a four man who finds ways to impact the game with his athleticism and motor,” Gershon said via text message. “He’s a plus rebounder who provides versatility on defense. As a senior he has shown an improved skillset on offense. He has a go-to move in his left-handed hook shot and is a comfortable jump shooter from midrange.”
