Ian MacDonald Hummer (born August 23, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for Osaka Evessa of the Japanese B.League. He has previously played professionally in countries such as Turkey, Russia, France (Monaco), Germany and Finland. He is from Vienna, Virginia and played college basketball for the Princeton Tigers. He was the 2009 The Washington Post Boys basketball Player of the Year for Gonzaga College High School as a senior in high school and the 2013 Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year as a senior in college for Princeton.
At Princeton, he is the second leading scorer (behind Bill Bradley) and fifth leading rebounder in program history. He led the team to three postseason tournaments and the 2010–11 Ivy League Championship. He holds the Ivy League record for most single-season and career Player of the Week Awards. He earned Associated Press 2013 All-American honorable mention recognition. Both his father, Ed, and uncle, John, are distinguished former Princeton Tigers men's basketball players. His 2008 Gonzaga team won the District of Columbia championships throughout his junior year.
Hummer played for Gonzaga College High School of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC). [1] He joined the starting lineup for the final two months of his sophomore season. [2] Hummer was a second team 2007–08 All-Metro DC selection by The Washington Post as Gonzaga finished as the top-ranked school in the Metro area during his junior year. [3] The team's point guard was sophomore Tyler Thornton. [4] Hummer scored 16 points and added 14 rebounds in the 2008 city championship game victory against Theodore Roosevelt High School. [5] He was a 2008–09 All-Metro DC selection and Boys basketball Player of the Year by The Washington Post. [6] [7] Hummer scored a career-high 32 points and added 15 rebounds against DeMatha Catholic High School on January 21, 2009. [8] His performance earned him recognition by ESPN RISE as its ESPN RISE National Boys Basketball Player of the Week. [9] The team's success over #15-ranked Dematha propelled it from 43 to 13 in the national rankings. [10] However, Gonzaga lost the 2009 WCAC championship by a 62–61 margin on a last second shot to DeMatha despite 18 points and 10 rebounds by Hummer. [11] Hummer was selected to play in the 2009 Capital Classic. [12]
Hummer was a 6-foot-7-inch (2.01 m) back to the basket player who generally defended opposing high school centers. He had an underdeveloped face-up game yet he was undersized to play that style of game in power conferences. [13] Power conference schools questioned how much potential he had in a league where his low post skills would likely be defended by larger, stronger and/or more athletic players who relegated him to perimeter play. [14] When Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson recruited him, the only competition was mid-major schools and Hummer was not interested in any of them. [13] During his campus visit with his father at his brother Alex's (Princeton Class of 2011) dorm room, he decided at midnight to go hang out at Dan Mavraides room across campus, signalling to his father that he was pretty comfortable with Princeton and likely to attend. [13] Due to Hummer's relationship with former Princeton and current Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball head coach John Thompson III, he was able to train at the Georgetown University gym over the summers. He also played in the Kenner League (the only National Collegiate Athletic Association–sanctioned summer league in the Washington, D.C.) during the summer. [14]
