Matt Rista 1 Soph. Guard St. Anthony Jersey City NJ

Matt is a fierce competitor with a great understanding of the game. He was excellent at getting into gaps in the defense and creating shots for teammates.

Tarif Jackson 9 Soph. Point Guard Sayreville NJ

Tarif has shown considerable improvement since the last showcase. He did an excellent job handling pressure for some of the bigger, stronger guards. His ability to consistently knock down open shots was extremely impressive. What Jackson lacks in size he makes up for with his shot making ability.

Reggie Thompson Soph. Guard Middletown NJ

The first impression one may have of Reggie is that of a power guard. While he is considerably strong, he displayed a velvet touch from behind the 3 point stripe. He's such a good long range shooter that he relies on it a bit too much. When he learns to mix it up a little more he'll be even more dangerous.

Charles Ayetigbo 4 Soph. Forward Burlington Twsp NJ

Charles may not fill up the scoring column right now, but he was impressive altering shots, blocking shots and rebounding the ball. He showed that he could finish plays. Once he develops confidence in his ball handling abilities, his stock will rise tremendously.

Derrick Gordon Fr. Guard St. Patrick Elizabeth NJ

Derrick Flash Gordon is a blur in transition, especially when it comes to filling lanes. He's a strong finisher and slasher who'll surprise you with his ability to rebound the ball and punish smaller defenders on the block. He may have been the best defender in the camp and his improving outside shot should make him one of NJ's best before it's all said and done.

Chase Plummer 5 Soph. Forward St. Patrick Elizabeth NJ

Since making the transition to a wing forward, Plummer has shown some flashes of settling in to that slot. He looked very comfortable from 17-19ft out (shooting and handling the ball) and his size and strength make him an excellent weak side rebounder. This kids shows improvement every few months. A definite sleeper in the 2023 class.

Sheldon Spiller 4 Fr. Forward Pleasantville NJ

Kesley Jackson 11 Sr. Point Guard Egg Harbor Township NJ

Kelsey is a very dynamic playmaker. A ball hawk on the defensive end, he makes life hard for opposing ball handlers. He's not afraid to take the ball to the rim in traffic and is a pleasure to have running a team because of his unselfish nature.

Don Deleo 4 Jr. Guard/Forward Wildwood NJ

Don appeared at home on both the perimeter and block. Match that with skill and you have a pretty versatile player in Mr. Deleo. He shot the ball consistently well all weekend and mixed it up a bit scoring from three point land and the mid-range area alike. Also an above average rebounder. Definitely one of the better prospects at the showcase.

Rodney Brown 1 Jr. Guard Pemberton NJ

Manjot Parhar Soph. Guard Martin Van Buren NY

Unlike a lot of current players, Manjot moves well without the basketball. He proved to be a very good all-around player that makes his living by taking advantage of the extra pass and knocking down the open J. He's very unselfish, didn't force much and usually took what the defense gave him.

Aldon Muhammed Sr. Guard Queen of Peace NJ

This young senior will do himself well to attend a prep school just to have an extra year to showcase his many talents. He's a very good ball handler who's great in the open court. He gets to the basket better than most is not afraid to go inside and mix it up to get a rebound. One to keep an eye on.

Marquise Watson 7 Soph. Guard Piscataway NJ

Marquise is at first glance very deceptive. But once the ball goes up you'll notice that he is a very savvy combo guard that is way more efficient than flashy. His progress over the next few years will be very intriguing.

Javonte' Dickerson 5 Fr. Guard Atlantic City NJ

Javonte' is a rocket in the open floor that can get end to end as quickly as anyone we've seen in recent years. He's equally adept at driving the lane and finishing at the rim as he is at finding open teammates. On top of all of that he can knock down the open J. He may bring back memories of All-Stater Frankie Turner to the Atlantic City High School Die Hards.

Lawrence Caldwell 8 Soph. Guard Franklin NJ

Lawrence is a strong athletic combo guard with great leaping ability that excels in the open floor. He has an above average mid-range shooter who defended and rebounded well throughout the weekend.

Mike didn't need the ball to be a contributor on his team. He's a tough rebounder who clears a lot of space and isn't afraid to free a teammate up with a cross or ball screen. He has a decent handle but can also step out to hit the 17 to 19 footer.

Frankie Smalls Fr. Forward St. John Neuman -Goretti Phila, PA

Frankie is an offensive match-up problem. He's too strong for most players his size to guard near the rim and crafty enough to make taller defenders disappear. He's a fierce competitor that's developing a deadly face up game from 20 feet out. Can string together points in a hurry.

Barry Spiller 5 Jr. Forward Pleasantville NJ

Barry is a pure workhorse. He simply outworked anyone he faced. If there was a Mr. Hustle Award, he would surely be the recipient. He punishes opponents on both boards and outruns his counterparts to rack up easy baskets in transition.

Tremaine White Soph. Guard Life Center Burlington, NJ
