<p>The Olympic Conference was home to the No. 1 team in New Jersey in Camden. This was a smaller conference with just three divisions but the individual talent was at an all-time high. Here are the All-Conference selections chosen by Prep Hoops.</p>
<p><strong>First Team</strong></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="766063" first="Lance" last="Ware"] (2020) | Camden: </strong>Ware was selected as the NJ Player of the Year after his sensational senior season. The future Kentucky Wildcat is an all-around superstar with the potential of being great at the next level and beyond.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850506" first="Zach" last="Hicks"] (2021) | Camden Catholic: </strong>Hicks was one of the top forwards in the state. The junior averaged 20 points and 7.6 rebounds per contest. Hicks has a chance to grow even more as a player and be unstoppable from anywhere on the floor during his senior season.</p>
<p><strong>DJ Wagner (2023) | Camden: </strong>Wagner is the next big thing in the state of New Jersey. Wagner, son of high school basketball legend Dajuan Wagner, was an elite scorer just like his father. He averaged 18.6 points per game in his first high school season. Wagner will be the leader of Camden over the next three seasons and has a chance to put up historical numbers in the scoring column.</p>
<p><strong>Jake Green (2022) | Cherry Hill East: </strong>Green is just another talented underclassmen in the Olympic Conference. The sophomore averaged 13.5 points per contest and led the state in three-pointers made with 102. Green showed his ability to shoot from deep but he is an all-around scoring threat.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="896459" first="Noah" last="Klinewski"] (2020) | Eastern: </strong>Klinewski finished what was a legendary career at Eastern with 18.5 points per game. He was the team’s leading scorer for the second straight season. He was a true point guard who could score and dish. Klinewski always found a way to get his teammates involved along with getting his own shots.</p>
