The group is still filled with available talent who can make an impact at the next level, especially in the Non-Public division. Here are the top available 2023 non-public forwards.
Jackson Tindall Jackson Tindall 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2024 NLG , 6’7 SF St. Peter’s Prep
Tindall is one of the top available prospects in Non-Public A and will be one to watch throughout the season. The 6’7 wing has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and finish through contact around the basket. Tindall knows how to get position down low and has a nice release on his jumper. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple position on the floor. Tindall is a two-way wing prospect who will make plays at both ends of the floor for St. Peter’s Prep.
Matt Kinzler Matt Kinzler 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 SF St. Peter’s Prep
Kinzler teams up with Tindall in the Marauders’ front court and has the potential to have a breakout 2022-23 season. The 6’7 forward has a clean shooting stroke as he wastes little motion in his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Kinzler moves well without the ball in his hands and has an underrated handle. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and rarely turns the ball over. Kinzler is a sharpshooting forward prospect whose ability to knock down shots from behind the arc will help his stock in a big way.
Tavian Pullock Tavian Pullock 6'5" | SF Montclair Immaculate | 2023 State NJ , 6’5 SF Immaculate Conception
Pullock is one to watch in Essex County as he teams up with TJ Robinson TJ Robinson 6'3" | SG Immaculate Conception | 2024 State #163 Nation NJ on the perimeter. The 6’5 wing has a good handle, which he uses to get by his defender and finish around the basket. Pullock knows how to get to his spot on the floor and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He is a strong rebounder and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Pullock ended the 2021-22 season on a high note with three 20-point games in his last four games, which should carry over into this winter for the Lions.
Tyler Koenig Tyler Koenig 6'9" | PF Pioneer Academy | 2023 State NJ , 6’9 PF DePaul Catholic
Koenig will be the go-to guy for DePaul Catholic down low, which could lead to a jump in production for him. The 6’9 forward knows how to get position down low and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. Koenig has a nice touch around the basket and sets good screens in the half court. He is a force on the glass at both ends of the floor and uses his size to influence shots on the defensive end. Koenig will be a double-double machine for the Spartans this season, which should help his stock in a big way.
Darrius Phillips Darrius Phillips 6'7" | PF Seton Hall Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 PF Seton Hall Prep
Phillips is an intriguing prospect to watch as he should get more touches for the Pirates this season. The 6’7 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and can finish through contact in the paint. Phillips is good in the pick-and-pop game as he sets good screens in the half court and has a nice release on his jumper. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses good timing on the defensive end to swat shots around the basket. Phillips is a physical forward prospect whose ability to score inside and out will help his game in a big way in 2022-23.
