2022 Available Forwards Who Can Raise Their Stocks the Most

<p>The start of the high school basketball season in New Jersey is upon us and it is filled with excitement. Players are looking to take their games to the next level, especially the available senior forwards. Here are the 2022 forwards who can raise their stocks the most during the 2021-22 season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1265911" first="Noah" last="Pit"], 6’7 SF/PF Mendham</strong></p> <p>Pit had a good summer and fall season, which should carry over into a big senior season. The 6’7 forward has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down shots in bunches. Pit is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He is a strong rebounder and is an underrated passer. Pit is in line for a breakout senior season with his ability to stretch the floor and rip down rebounds on both ends of the floor.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1202189" first="Billy" last="Anderson"], 6’7 PF Colonia</strong></p> <p>Anderson is a breakout player to watch in the GMC as he should get more touches down low. The 6’7 forward has a physical frame which he uses to get position down low and draw contact. Anderson has a nice touch around the basket and can draw contact close to the rim. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and is a solid post defender. Anderson will be more featured in Colonia’s offense this season, which should lead to a breakout senior season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900313" first="Matteo" last="Strikker"], 6’8 SF Olympus Prep</strong></p> <p>Strikker is one of the more intriguing prospects in the Garden State due to his unique skillset. The 6’8 forward attacks the basket hard and can finish through contact. Strikker is capable of running the offense as he is a smooth passer and can get his teammates involved in the half court. He is capable of hitting open jumpers from distance and can score in the mid-range. Strikker is a talented point-forward prospect who is set for a big 2021-22 season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901965" first="Charles" last="Anyichie"], 6’7 PF Ranney</strong></p> <p>Anyichie is set for a breakout season as he gets a big role in the Panthers’ frontcourt. The 6’7 forward has a motor that does not stop on either end and is tough to keep off the glass. Anyichie is a good shot-blocker as he uses his combination of length and athleticism to swat shots. He is developing his post game and can draw contact around the rim.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1146496" first="Cameron" last="Downs"], 6’4 SF Pemberton</strong></p> <p>Downs had a breakout debut season for Pemberton and it should continue in 2021-22. The 6’4 forward is at his best attacking the basket as he is a good finisher and can draw contact. Downs is an underrated shooter as he is capable of hitting open jumpers on the perimeter. He is a strong rebounder and makes plays on the defensive end. Downs looks to be one of the more productive players in the BCSL again as Pemberton looks to make noise in the sectional tournament this season.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1013082" first="Luke" last="Farrell"], 6’6 SF/PF St. Rose</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1202187" first="Ben" last="Reichert"], 6’10 PF Pequannock</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1202200" first="Koi" last="Kirk"], 6’4 SF Covenant College Prep</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1146263" first="Matt" last="Solomon"], 6’6 PF Manasquan</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1017708" first="Dane" last="Moran"], 6’8 PF Lawrenceville</strong></p>
