The 6'1 guard is at his best attacking the basket as he is unafraid of contact and finishes nicely around the basket. Cabral rarely makes poor decisions with the ball in his hands and moves well off the ball. He is a tough on-ball defender as he makes it hard for opponents to get to their spots on offense. Cabral is a physical guard prospect whose ability to defend 94 feet will help his game in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150260' first='Tyleel' last='Hall'], 6'3 Olympus Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hall will be one to watch this season as he makes plays with the ball in his hands.

The 6'1 guard is a marksman from deep as he has a lighting quick release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Machado is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He is a solid passer and moves well without the ball in his hands. Machado is a sharpshooting guard prospect who will be one to watch in Bergen County this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1269663' first='Monty' last='Nedd'], 6'1 St. Joseph (Mont.)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nedd is a guard prospect to watch in Bergen County as the Green Knights look to make noise in the Big North.
