Daniel Hong brings combo-guard scoring pedigree, but needs a bigger college impact
Hong is a 6-2 guard from South Barrington, Illinois, who arrived with real high-school production — 18.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game on a Barrington team that finished third at the 2022 IHSA Class 4A State Championships — but his early college stat line has been modest, including 0.5 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game in ESPN’s tracking. The appeal is upside: he has proven he can score, handle the ball and play in winning environments, but the fit question is whether his shot-making and playmaking translate into a more consistent, high-level role at North Dakota.
