Noah Pit Noah Pit 6'7" | SF Mendham | 2023 NLG , 6’7 SF Mendham 2022
Pit has been a go-to guy for Mendham all season long and should continue to have strong games throughout February. The 6’7 forward can score at all three levels as he can finish around the rim, score in the mid-range and knock down jumpers from behind the arc. Pit has a nice handle, which he uses to get to the rim. He is a strong rebounder and is capable of defending multiple positions. Pit is a skilled forward prospect who should have a strong Morris County Tournament and February.
Tavian Pullock Tavian Pullock 6'5" | SF Montclair Immaculate | 2023 State NJ , 6’5 SF Montclair Immaculate 2023
Pullock has had a good season for the Lions and is set for a huge February. The 6’5 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he is a good finisher and does not mind drawing contact. Pullock is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. He is a good rebounder and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Pullock is a lanky wing prospect who should make an impact throughout the month.
Mackenzie Mgbako Mackenzie Mgbako 6'8" | SF Roselle Catholic | 2023 State #5 Nation NJ , 6’7 SF Gill St. Bernard’s 2023
Mgbako has been playing at a high level all season for the Knights and should continue to dominate in February. The 6’7 wing has a smooth offensive game as he is comfortable shooting from deep or getting to the rim and finishing strong. Mgbako is an underrated passer as he has five games this season with at least five assists. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and makes plays on the defensive end due to his combination of length and athleticism. Mgbako is a talented forward prospect who should continue to light it up for Gill St. Bernard’s this season.
Matthew Kinzler, 6’7 SG/SF St. Peter’s Prep 2023
Kinzler has been a solid complimentary piece on the perimeter for the Marauders as he has been very consistent throughout the year. The 6’7 wing has a good shooting stroke as he wastes little motion in his jumper. Kinzler is more than just a shooter as he has an underrated handle and can finish around the basket. He does not mind mixing it up in the paint to get rebounds and can get deflections on the defensive end. Kinzler’s shooting is something that will help his stock in a big way as the month of February moves on.
Peyton Seals Peyton Seals 6'4" | SG Ramapo | 2024 State NJ , 6’3 SG Ramapo 2024
Seals’ future is in the backcourt, but he does possess the ability to play on the wing as well. The 6’3 guard has a good handle, which he uses to break his defender down off the bounce and finish around the basket. Seals has a nice touch on his floater and can get hot from distance when given space. He is an underrated rebounder and is capable of running the offense effectively. Seals effects the game in so many ways for Ramapo, which should lead to him having a strong February.
