What Was Recently Said:
The CC Elite program has seen a ton of talented players come through its doors over the years, and it seems like Jack Siegel will be among the next wave of notable prospects. Though somewhat unassuming at first glance, it doesn’t take long to realize that Siegel is a really impressive player. His combination of IQ, poise, and all-around skillset makes him a legitimate problem for opponents. At 6-foot-3, Siegel comfortably controls the action as a primary ball-handler with vision, unselfishness, and three-level scoring prowess. He’s a lethal shooter with craftiness as a finisher and in-between scorer (runners, floaters, etc.). Although Siegel can find success without requiring the ball in his hands, he’s arguably at his best when given freedom to operate as the main decision-maker. He’s also probably tougher and more athletic than initially meets the eye (though opponents tend to quickly notice his capabilities). Siegel rebounds effectively for his size, positions himself well defensively, and makes hustle plays as needed. Furthermore, his pace, patience, communication, and calm demeanor allow him to stand out as a leader on both ends of the floor. It’s early, but coaches should start getting familiar with Siegel sooner than later.
What To Expect:
It would be genuinely shocking if Siegel doesn’t have a breakout campaign sooner or later. Throughout the summer season, the polished, well-rounded guard has been nothing short of spectacular. While he might not be an incredibly explosive athlete right now, Siegel still effortlessly controls the game with his combination of IQ, pace, and versatility. He’s a polished creator, both for himself and others, with the ability to consistently set up others or apply scoring pressure from all levels. Siegel plays with terrific pace and doesn’t seem to get easily bothered by length, athleticism, or defensive pressure. He rebounds the ball well, defends his assignment properly, and understands how to naturally shine as a leader. Not only is Siegel excellent at dictating the action with the ball in his hands, but he can also comfortably produce as an off-ball threat. There are a lot of guys who receive attention whenever they enter the gym, but he’s the type of player folks must truly watch in order to fully appreciate. Expect Siegel to have a notable high school season as one of the most appealing, underrated prospects on Providence’s roster.
