Jadin Collins Jadin Collins 6'1" | PG Rutgers Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’0 PG Rutgers Prep 2023
Collins has been consistent for the Argonauts all season as he has 15 20-point games. The Marist commit has a tight handle and a quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and get to the rim. Collins has elite body control, which he uses to make tough layups and finish through contact around the basket. He gets his teammates involved in the half court and plays with good anticipation on the defensive end. Collins has been playing at a high level all season long and it should continue in the Somerset County Tournament.
Mario Castro-Sanchez Mario Castro-Sanchez 6'0" | PG Gill St. Bernard's | 2023 State NJ , 6’0 PG Gill St. Bernard’s 2023
Castro-Sanchez has been a spark for the Knights’ offense as he has erupted for monster games this season. The 6’0 guard is a marksman from deep as he has a clean shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. Castro-Sanchez uses his handle to create space for himself and is a solid finisher around the basket. He can thread passes to his teammates and is an underrated defender. Castro-Sanchez is one of the top shooters in the Garden State and should put it on display in the Somerset County Tournament.
Davis Adams Davis Adams 6'4" | SF Immaculata | 2023 State NJ , 6’4 PF Immaculata 2023
Adams has been a double-double machine for the Spartans as teams have struggled to stop him down low. The 6’4 forward knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Adams runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy baskets in transition. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Adams is a physical forward prospect who should have a strong county tournament for Immaculata.
Zion Harrison Zion Harrison 6'4" | SG Hillsborough | 2024 State NJ , 6’4 SG Hillsborough 2024
Harrison is a dynamic prospect who will be one to watch for the Raiders in the Somerset County Tournament. The 6’4 guard explodes off the floor for dunks and is a good finisher around the basket. Harrison knows how to get to his spot on the floor and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Harrison has the potential to have a big county tournament for Hillsborough with his ability to score around the rim and make plays on defense.
Cam Snowden Cam Snowden 6'5" | PF Franklin | 2023 State NJ , 6’5 F Franklin 2023
Snowden has been a force down low for the Warriors as he has been their go-to guy all season. The Emmanuel College commit plays with good footwork down low and has a nice touch around the rim. Snowden can also play on the perimeter as he can put the ball on the floor and knock down jumpers from behind the arc. He rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor and can pass out of the post as well. Snowden will be one to watch as Franklin looks to make a deep run in the Somerset County Tournament.
