Harmehar Chhabra Harmehar Chhabra 6'5" | PF South Brunswick | 2023 State NJ | 6’4” | F | South Brunswick
After having a strong junior year, the crafty Chhabra showed well on Friday night for Team Rio at the Jam Fest. He hits the glass and plays bigger than his height. He’s a very tough defender who battled bigger players on the low block with success. He’s got a high basketball IQ and plays within himself. He has range beyond the arc. Top games as a junior were against South Plainfield(12&14), Perth Amboy(15&10, 20&8) and New Brunswick(20&9). His recruiting stock should increase as the summer goes on with a wide variety of regional D3s checking in on him over the next 10-12 months.
Jonathan Carman| 6’5” | F | Piscataway
The springy 6’5” forward had a breakout season for the Chiefs this past winter. He’s very athletic, can shoot from range and attacks the basket well with his strong frame. He averaged 14&9 as a junior and had several impressive performances, including back-to-back games vs Saint Joes(20&8, 18&11), South Brunswick(18&13) and Immaculata(21&11). He should be on the radar of a variety of programs right now—D3s should be in pursuit and regional D2s should be keeping an eye on him after his breakout junior campaign to see what the final chapter of HS holds for him.
Evan Benson| 5’10” | G | Wardlaw Hartridge
Players in the Gold Division are often overlooked by colleges because the schools are the smallest in the GMC but there are several teams that are now regularly producing college level talent. Benson had a great junior year for Wardlaw, averaging 16.4PPG. Good ballhandler who can create his own shot. Crafty on the break and runs the break right to the foul line. He had 25 vs Carteret and 23 vs Timothy Christian, which was his top performance of the season. Coming from a highly respected academic HS like Wardlaw, a host of D3 programs should be interested in watching Benson into his senior year.
Brandon Gasiewski| 6’1” | G | South Amboy
South Amboy is another Gold Division school that has produced a wealth of talent over its history, specifically during the time when George Krzyzanowski was head coach. Gasiewski is long and lean. He can light it up from beyond the three point line. Does the little tings well. Hit 62 threes as a junior and went for 27 against Wardlaw. Like the other South Amboy players of note before him, he’d be a good fit at a D3 program. Also plays baseball.
