Lukas Prongos '21 Recruiting Profile

Iv'e been playing basketball for as long as I can remember, starting with the Junior Warriors at the YMCA. My love for the game only grew from there, and as I got older, the more I wanted to be great at the game. Through my eyes, basketball is one of the the most beautiful art forms there is. From the techniques, down to the movements. There is nothing that amazes me more when I see a beautiful shot, or a clever hop step to make space from the defender. Of course there are times when I am playing the game and I am frustrated, but at the end of the day,  I always have fun playing the game. I believe what sets me apart is my body, because I am a large, powerful kid, but I still have the touch and the coordination to shoot the ball with consistency.  In addition, I feel like I have a lot in my back pocket that my dad has taught me from his experiences of playing professionally in Greece. At the end of the day, it is my life long dream to play a sport at the college level, and it is something I keep in the back of my head to motivate me everyday.
