Bacon, a guard out of the Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, announced his future plans with a commitment to Bowdoin College. The 6’2″ guard can really shoot the basketball and shows a quick and high release on his jumper. He does a nice job of moving without the ball and, when on the ball, has a good feel for the game as a passer. He makes good decisions out of ball screens, has a quick first step off the bounce, and has begun to leverage his shooting to open up driving lanes. Defensively, he competes while guarding both back-court spots and does a nice job of making plays in passing lanes. This is a solid commitment for Bowdoin and Bacon has the chance to have a nice career in the NESCAC.

Bacon, a two guard out of the Northfield Mount Hermon School, checks into the rankings at #77, climbing 28 spots since our last update. Coming off of a strong spring in which he showed off an improved offensive game, Bacon’s done a nice job of using his basketball IQ to his advantage on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he can guard either spot in the back-court and does a nice job of playing angles and making plays in the passing lanes. Offensively, he continues to make shots from behind the arc in catch and shoot situations, but is also showing more comfort as a creator with the basketball in his hands. He has a quick first step, delivers good passes on the move, and is a crafty paint finisher when size comes over to help.
