<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>County tournament time is here and teams across the Garden State are gearing towards taking home a county title. The Cape-Atlantic League Tournament is set to start off next week with players set to make noise. Here are the players to watch in the Cape-Atlantic League Tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1050413' first='Elijah' last='Brown'], 6'4 SG St. Augustine 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown has set the tone for the Hermits' offense this season as he has seven 20-point games this season. The 6'4 guard is at his best attacking the basket as he finishes strong above the rim and is unafraid of contact. Brown moves well without the ball in his hands and makes good passes in the half court. He is a strong rebounder and competes hard on the defensive end. Brown is a two-way wing prospect who should continue to put up big numbers for St. Augustine this February.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407095' first='Cohen' last='Cook'], 6'0 PG Mainland 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cook has had a standout junior campaign for the Mustangs as he has led them to the top seed in South Jersey Group 3. The 6'0 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get by his defender and finish around the basket. Cook knows how to get to his spot on the floor and has a nice mid-range jumper. He is an underrated passer and fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Cook is a tough guard prospect who is looking to lead Mainland to back-to-back CAL Tournament titles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1017198' first='DJ' last='Germann'], 5'11 PG Egg Harbor 2023</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Germann has been consistent for the Eagles this season as he has led them to 18 wins in 2022-23. The 5'11 guard has a tight handle and a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and finish around the rim. Germann has a nice touch on his floater and shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He gets his teammates involved in the offense and gets deflections on the defensive end. Germann has nine 20-point games this season and should have more games like that in postseason play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1017194' first='Jacob' last='Bey'], 6'5 PF Lower Cape May 2023</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bey has emerged as a force down low for the Tigers as he has been their go-to guy down low. The 6'5 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and is not afraid of drawing contact in the paint. Bey has a nice touch around the basket and can knock down jumpers in the mid-range. He rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Bey's ability to control the post is something that will be key for Lowe Cape May this postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773125' first='Khalon' last='Foster'], 6'1 SG Millville 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Foster is the main guy in a balanced Thunderbolts' offense and will be one to watch in the CAL Tournament. The 6'1 guard attacks the basket strong as he finishes nicely around the rim and can draw contact in the paint. Foster rises up with confidence on his jumper and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is a good rebounder for a guard and gets deflections on the defensive end. Foster has the ability to put up points in bunches, which will be key for Millville during the postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hasanur Freeman, SF Atlantic City 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1013070' first='Arnaldo' last='Rodriguez'], 6'1 CG St. Joseph (Hamm.) 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nasir Tucker, 5'8 PG Atlantic Tech 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kenny Smith, 5'11 G Hammonton 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Omero Chevere, G Ocean City 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
