He's a high level shooter, particularly when he gets his feet set and can step into his shot. He has some serious next level floor vision and makes some impressive passes in the half court. Defensively, he does a good job of using his size and strength to be physical with opposing guards and to make an impact on the defensive glass. It wouldn't surprise me if he's able to carve out an early role at u003cemu003eWentworthu003c/emu003e and I'd expect that, long term, he could develop into an all-CCC type guard.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Derin Ongur","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Lexington","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Ongur will head to Pennsylvania in the fall after commiting to u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eHaverford College u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eearlier this week. A power guard with the ability to make plays off the bounce, Ongur was a big time scorer at the high school level. He showcased the ability to get by his defender with a variety of dribble moves, create space to get into his mid-range game, and score from well behind the arc. He played with a real competitive fire, didn't back down from any match up, and wasn't afraid to take the shot in big moments. Defensively, he played on the perimeter and in the paint and was able to do an admirable job defending against bigger forwards in the post. It's never easy to step in and play right away as a freshman in the Centennial Conference, but Ongur has the scoring ability and drive to be able to crack the rotation early on and should develop into a nice piece over the course of his career.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2313175"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Jacques announced that he will play his college basketball at u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eEmmanuel College u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ein an Instagram post earlier this week. A major contributor to Franklin's run to the state championship this season, Jacques is a next level athlete that has terrific positional size and length. Defensively, he has the tools to be a perimeter stopper at the next level. He's long and athletic and can cover a lot of ground quickly, which allows him to be disruptive in passing lanes and as a shot blocker from the help position. Offensively, while he's capable of knocking down perimeter jumpers, right now he's at his best when he attacks the rim. He's fluid in the open court and can really get out and finish at the rim in transition. This looks like a great fit of prospect and level and I'd expect that he'll eventually develop into one of the best defensive wings in the GNAC.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"James Allen","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"St. Thomas Aquinas","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Allen will continue his academic and athletic career in New Hampshire when he attends u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003ePlymouth State Universityu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003cemu003e. u003c/emu003eComing off an NHIAA state championship at St. Thomas Aquinas, Allen possesses a nice combination of basketball IQ, feel for the game, and decision making prowess. A coach's son, he consistently does all the little things that contribute to winning, even if they don't show up in a box score. Offensively, he doesn't force anything and should continue to develop as a perimeter shooter as he continues to get reps. Defensively, he knows how to play within team concepts and always seems to be in the right spot. He's a worker and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him carve out a role at Plymouth State, particularly if he continues to find ways to impact winning.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6613577fc862b"} /-->
