Nation
NJ
, 6’4 Camden
Wagner Jr is the top available prospect in the 2023 class and has been an All-State performer since his freshman campaign. The 6’4 guard can score at all three levels and plays with confidence with the ball in his hands. Wagner Jr is unafraid of taking key shots in clutch situations and uses his handle to beat his defender off the bounce. He has the length to defend both guard spots and is a strong rebounder for a guard. Wagner Jr’s recruitment looks like it is coming to a close soon and should eclipse the 2,000-point mark for Camden High this season.

, 6’4 St. Benedict’s Prep
Johnson will be one to watch in the Garden State this season as he will run the Gray Bees’ offense. The 6’4 guard has a good handle and knows how to finish around the basket. Johnson knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court and rarely makes bad decisions with the ball in his hands. He can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He uses his length to create disruptions on the defensive end and pushes the pace nicely in transition. Johnson is a floor general whose ability to run the offense effectively will help his stock in a big way this season.

NJ
, 6’0 Ranney School
Hester returns to run the Panthers’ offense and will be looking to take them back to the Non-Public B South final. The 6’0 guard attacks the basket with a purpose and can finish through contact around the basket. Hester has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. He moves his feet well on the defensive end and has the ability to play off the ball in a pinch. Hester is a scoring lead guard prospect who should eclipse the 1,000-point mark this season for Ranney.
Elijon Nix Elijon Nix 6'0" | PG Arts | 2023 State NJ , 6’0 Arts
Nix will be running the Jaguars’ offense again this season as they look to make a deep run in the state playoffs. The 6’0 guard has a tight handle and is a crafty finisher around the basket. Nix has a nice touch on his floater and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He plays with good court vision and has quick hands on the defensive end. Nix is a skilled lead guard who will be one to watch in Essex County all season for Arts.

Rutgers Prep | 2023
State
NJ
, 6’1 Rutgers Prep
Piggee had a strong junior season for the Argonauts as he helped lead them to the 2022 Non-Public A South title. The 6’1 guard has a quick release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc. Piggee is more than just a shooter as he can also get by his defender off the bounce and finish around the basket. He moves well without the ball in his hands and works hard on the defensive end. Piggee is a tough, two-way guard prospect who does what it takes to help his team wins games.
