Jaycen Santucci Jaycen Santucci 6'4" | SG Central Regional | 2025 State NJ , 6’1 SG Central Regional
Santucci is slated to have a big summer with the Jersey Shore Predators as he gets to put his offensive game on display. The 6’1 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he is a good finisher and is capable of hitting tough shots through contact. Santucci is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence from the perimeter. He has a solid handle and is an underrated defender. Santucci has the potential to move up the board with his ability to score the ball.
Nasir Hudson Nasir Hudson 6'1" | SG Hackensack | 2025 State NJ , 6’1 SG Hackensack
Hudson is a guard to monitor as he should have a strong summer with the Hilltoppers. The 6’1 lefty has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and finish around the basket. Hudson can also score in the mid-range and hit open jumpers on the perimeter. He has the ability to run the offense and slides his feet well on the defensive end. Hudson’s ability to play on and off the ball is something that will help his stock in a big way this summer.
Elijah Crispin Elijah Crispin 5'10" | PG Pitman | 2025 State NJ , 5’10 PG Pitman
Crispin is ready for a big summer with the Shore Shots HGSL team as he gets the chance to play on and off the ball. The 5’10 guard has a smooth shooting form and only needs a little bit of space to get his shot off. Crispin is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim and finish. He plays with poise with the ball in his hands and rarely gets sped up defenders. Crispin’s ability to knock down jumpers from distance is something that will help his game throughout the summer.
Shakur Anderson Shakur Anderson 6'3" | SG Westampton Tech | 2025 State NJ , 6’3 SG Burlington City
Anderson is an intriguing prospect to watch for the South Jersey Titans as he has the potential to play either the two or the three due to his length. The 6’3 wing is a good finisher around the basket and does not mind drawing contact in the paint. Anderson has a nice release on his jumper and uses his size to rise up over smaller defenders. He is a solid rebounder and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Anderson’s versatility is something that will help his stock in a big way this summer.
Justin Hanson Justin Hanson 6'0" | CG Morris Knolls | 2025 State NJ , 6’0 CG Morris Knolls
Hanson is a player to keep an eye on this summer for the NJ Panthers. The 6’0 guard has a nice handle, which he uses to get by his defender and finish around the basket. Hanson has a good release on his jumper and wastes little motion in his shot. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is a solid passer. Hanson is a prospect to track this summer as he should make plays and knock down shots from the perimeter.
