Continue ReadingThe 2023 class just got a little bit smaller as Roselle Catholic forward Akil Watson Akil Watson 6'7" | SF Roselle Catholic | 2023 State #105 Nation NJ just committed to Arizona State. The small forward class is still filled with talent who should make an impact at the next level. Here are the top 2023 available small forward prospects.
Tyler Tejada Tyler Tejada 6'7" | SF Teaneck | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 Teaneck
Tejada is the top available small forward in the Garden State and will be one to watch this winter. The 6’7 forward has a nice handle, which he uses to get to the rim and finish. Tejada shoots the ball with confidence on the perimeter and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. He rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor and is an underrated passer. Tejada is a skilled forward prospect who should have a big senior season.
Dasear Haskins Dasear Haskins 6'8" | SF Camden | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 Camden
Haskins is an intriguing forward prospect as he impacts the game in a variety of ways. The 6’7 lefty has a good release on his shot and sets his feet before he shoots. Haskins is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He has the length and athleticism to defend multiple positions and moves well without the ball in his hands. Haskins is a two-way wing prospect whose ability to knock down jumpers from distance will help his game in a big way.
Cornelius Robinson Cornelius Robinson 6'6" | SF Camden | 2023 State #253 Nation NJ , 6’6 Camden
Robinson has been productive for the High over the last three seasons and it should continue in 2022-23. The 6’6 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and can finish through contact. Robinson has a solid handle, which he uses to get by his defender and can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is unafraid of giving up his body for loose balls. Robinson is a hard-working forward prospect who does whatever it takes to help his team win.
Ademar Santos Ademar Santos 6'7" | SF St. Benedict's | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 St. Benedict’s
Santos should have a strong season on the wing for the Gray Bees with his versatile game. The 6’7 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and rarely forces shots in the half court. Santos moves well without the ball in his hands and is a strong finisher around the basket. He makes good decisions with the ball in his hands and is able to get deflections on the defensive end. Santos’ ability to score inside and out is something that will help his stock in a big way this season.
Jackson Tindall Jackson Tindall 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2024 New E , 6’7 St. Peter’s
Tindall should get more looks on the offensive end for the Marauders, which could lead to a breakout season for him in 2022-23. The 6’7 forward knows how to get to the basket and is a good finisher around the rim. Tindall is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Tindall is a tough forward prospect whose ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will be key for the Marauders this winter.
