The Waves’ basketball team might be struggling this season, but the sliver lining might be the fantastic play of freshmen who’ve stepped up to the plate after injuries have decimated this team. None of those young players have taken as much advantage of the spotlight as Elijah Lee, the 5’10” guard, who is already looking like an integral piece of Pepperdine’s future.
Growing up homeschooled in Houston, Lee won multiple Texas state championships with his homeschool team. Waves coach Marty Wilson said he took notice of the guard’s electric play while on a recruiting trip in Texas.
