Sebastian Robinson Sebastian Robinson 6'2" | CG Roselle Catholic | 2023 State NJ , 6’2 Roselle Catholic
Robinson was an All-State performer last season for Elizabeth and will be a key part of the Lions’ backcourt this season. The 6’2 guard has a tight handle as he gets into the paint with ease and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Robinson has a nice touch on his mid-range game and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. He gets his teammates involved in the half court and is a solid on-ball defender. Robinson is a skilled guard prospect who will make plays in the backcourt for Roselle Catholic throughout the year.
Evan Cabral Evan Cabral 6'2" | CG Don Bosco Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’1 Don Bosco Prep
Cabral had a strong junior campaign for the Ironmen and will be one to watch in the backcourt. 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.
Tyleel Hall Tyleel Hall 6'3" | CG Olympus Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’3 Olympus Prep
Hall will be one to watch this season as he makes plays with the ball in his hands. The 6’3 guard has a good handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and finish through contact around the basket. Hall knows how to get to his spot in the halfcourt and has a nice release on his jumper. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and gets deflections on the defensive end. Hall’s ability to make plays at both ends of the floor is something that will help his game in a big way this season for Olympus Prep.
Richard Machado Richard Machado 6'1" | CG Saddle River Day | 2023 State NJ , 6’1 Saddle River Day
Machado returns to lead the Rebels’ attack and should put up big numbers in his senior season. 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.
Monty Nedd Monty Nedd 6'1" | CG St. Joseph (Mont.) | 2023 State NJ , 6’1 St. Joseph (Mont.)
Nedd is a guard prospect to watch in Bergen County as the Green Knights look to make noise in the Big North. The 6’1 guard has a good handle as he is not fazed by on-ball pressure and knows how to finish around the basket. Nedd is unselfish with the ball in his hands and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He works hard on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Nedd is in store for a break-out campaign with his ability to finish around the basket.
