Jalen Robinson Jalen Robinson 5'10" | PG Columbia | 2023 State NJ | 5’10” | G | Columbia
He’ll be one of the top senior guards in the entire county. He’s got shooting range beyond the three point line but is also a confident guard to attack the basket with solid dribbling skills to get to the rim. He was a leader as a junior going for 20+ often.
Sean Agard | 6’0” | G | Irvington
Irvington struggled a bit last year but individually Agard had a big year. An above average ball handler with a solid first step to blow by defenders and shooting range that extends beyond the arc. He’s got a soft touch and quick release on his shot. If Irvington makes a run, he’s going to be the key.
Quatrell Wilson Quatrell Wilson 6'5" | SF Newark East Side | 2023 State NJ | 6’6” | F | Newark East Side
A leader for Eastside as a junior. He’ll be expected to be the primary target in the post this year for Anthony Tavares and Bryant Garvin. An explosive athlete who also rebounds well and can get out in transition. He’ll be one of the top forwards in Essex County.
Tavian Pullock Tavian Pullock 6'5" | SF Montclair Immaculate | 2023 State NJ | 6’5” | F | Immaculate Conception
Pullock has seen stock rise this year and he’s an above the rim player, capable of geting there with his solid ball handling skills. He’s got the ability to score at multiple levels and can also move it on defense. Should push for first team all county honors as a senior.
Darrius Phillips Darrius Phillips 6'7" | PF Seton Hall Prep | 2023 State NJ | 6’7” | F | Seton Hall Prep
Phillips was a key support player for SHP. He’s a tough on ball defender who can run the floor well for a big man and move the ball as a skilled passer in the halfcourt from the post or the wing. He’s a scholarship level prospect who will be tasked with a bigger role as a senior.
