He is a strong rebounder for a guard and works hard on the defensive end.

He knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court and plays with quick hands on the defensive end. Bridgett is a skilled lead guard prospect who should put up big numbers for Trenton Central this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1017198' first='DJ' last='Germann'], 5'11 PG Egg Harbor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Germann will be the go-to guy for the Eagles this season and he should have a big winter for them. The 5'11 guard has a good shooting stroke and sets his feet before he shoots. Germann is more than just a shooter as he has a nice handle and is a strong finisher around the basket. He has the ability to play off the ball and knows how to make plays when he gets into the lane. Germann is a player to watch in the CAL with his ability to score the ball in a variety of ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150536' first='Davontay' last='Hutson'], 6'2 SG Trenton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hutson plays more on the wing for the Tornadoes, but he does have the potential to play in the backcourt. The 6'2 wing attacks the basket with a purpose as he is a strong finisher around the rim and can make tough shots through contact. Hutson can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Hutson is a two-way wing prospect who should make plays all season long for Trenton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Other Prospects to Watch:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1045873' first='Keenan' last='Reiss'], 6'1 SG Hightstown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1400481' first='Preston' last='Brown'], 6'3 SG Paterson Eastside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='933644' first='Samir' last='Padilla'], 5'10 PG Jackson Memorial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1402079' first='Bryce' last='Stokes'], 6'3 SG Paterson Eastside</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150538' first='Jamil' last='Wilkins'], 6'1 SG Egg Harbor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
