In December 2016, he tied the Princeton single-game record for assists in a game, with 13 against Liberty. He posted his career high of 26 points in a February 3, 2017, 69–64 victory over Dartmouth. He served again as a co-captain.

Senior Steven Cook was also a unanimous All-Ivy League first team honoree, and was named a third team Academic All-America selection. Cook was included on the National Association of Basketball Coaches Division I All‐District 13 first-team. Weisz and Devin Cannady were second team selections.
