Coming out of Colborne, Ontario, William Academy made an immediate impact in their NPH debut last weekend.

How immediate are we talking here? We’re talking about a 41 point bomb dropped by their 6’8 2024 F Emmanuel Owonibi in just their second game. Followed up with an array of 3 point bombs from their 6’4 2024 wing Deng Makeer in the next game. All with steady contributions from 6’6 F Declan Andrade & 6’3 PG Landon Wright.

This squad’s proven to have a great core of prospects who are already being looked at by USPORT programs including Laval & St. Mary’s University. Here’s a quick evaluation on each of those four prospects who we believe will have a spot at the next level.

2024 6’8 F Emmanuel Owonibi, 24.7ppg

If it wasn’t for his injury in their third game of the session, Emmanuel’s ppg average would be somewhere closer to the 30ppg mark. This strong & mobile forward dominated in the paint all session long getting virtually whatever he wanted. He showed some different dimensions to his game too, is a pretty good playmaker. Can operate in the post both as a scorer and facilitator, couple times he collected the defensive rebound and hit an outlet pass on the money.

2024 6’4 G Deng Makeer, 18.3ppg

Was extremely impressed with this wirey, athletic wing Deng Makeer. Was automatic on spot up threes and showed a strong ability to finish at the rim from different angles. No wasted movements or dribbles type of guy. High degree of difficulty shotmaking ability. Checks off all the boxes of a next level prospect. To me, he’s got one of the highest upsides of anyone playing in this league.

2024 6’3 PG Landon Wright, 9.3ppg

This skilled and crafty guard did a get job of steering the ship for his team. Set up the table for his teammates and scored when needed. Shoots it really well, particularly off the dribble. One/two dribble pullup is money. With so many offensive weapons on this team, Landon was still able to make his impact felt without forcing.

2024 6’6 F Declan Andrade, 10.3ppg

Declan seems to embrace his role as the emotional leader of this team. A “get things done” type of guy. Defends, scores, knocks down shots, and was vocal. Good size too at 6’6. Expecting some big games from him with Emmanuel & Deng seeing a lot of the defensive attention.

Coaches at all levels from both sides of the border should be looking at William Academy for their 2024 Canadian Recruitment.
