Ian MacDonald Hummer (born August 23, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for TED Ankara Kolejliler of the Turkish Basketball Super League. He previously played professionally with the ratiopharm Ulm, the BG Göttingen and the Nilan Bisons Loimaa. He is from Vienna, Virginia and completed his senior season of college basketball for the 2012–13 Princeton Tigers men's basketball team. 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 during his junior year.

Background

Hummer played for Gonzaga College High School of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC).[1][1] He joined the starting lineup for the final two months of his sophomore season.[2] Hummer was a second team 200708 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 200809 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 6261 margin on a last second shot to DeMatha despite 18 points and 10 rebounds by Hummer.[11] Hummer was a 2009 Capital All-Star selection.[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]

On December 13, 2009, Hummer scored 17 points and added 2 steals and 2 rebounds with no turnovers in a 6550 Princeton victory over UNC Greensboro.[35] It marked the first game in which Hummer led Princeton in scoring.

He was a 2012 unanimous first team All-Ivy and a second team NABC All-District selection.[52][53]

Hummer tied the Ivy League record for single-season Player of the Week awards with his fifth on February 4.[30] Hummer averaged 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5.5 assists in wins against Cornell and Columbia on February 1 and February 2.[62][63] His seven assists against Columbia was a career high.[30] On February 22, Hummer posted 17 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals against Columbia.[64] The following night, he scored 17 points while adding 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks against Cornell.[65] The weekend victories mark the first weekend road sweep in two seasons. Hummer was rewarded as Ivy League Player of the week on February 25.[31] His sixth player of the week recognitions doubled the previous school record and give him 8 career POTW honors.[32] Hummer posted his first double-double of the season on March 2, when he had 23 points and 14 rebounds as Princeton hosted Harvard for a 5853 victory. The game marked Princeton's 24th consecutive home win against Harvard.[66] In the game, Hummer passed Kit Mueller and Doug Davis to move into second place on the Princeton career scoring list.[67] The following night he had 13 points and 6 rebounds against Dartmouth.[68] For the week, he earned Ivy League player of the week giving him a record seventh single-season recognition and record tying ninth career recognition.[33][34] On March 12, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association named Hummer to its 2012–13 Men's All-District II (NY, NJ, DE, DC, PA, WV) Team, based upon voting from its national membership.[69] Hummer was a unanimous First Team All-Ivy selection as well as Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year,[70] becoming Princeton's first since 1999.[71] Hummer also surpassed Davis as the Ivy League's career leader in games played.[70] On March 26, the National Association of Basketball Coaches named Hummer to its Division I All‐District 13 team as selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, making him eligible for the State Farm Coaches’ Division I All-America team.[72] It was Hummer's third consecutive NABC honor.[71] Hummer also earned Associated Press honorable mention All-American recognition.[71]
