<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1553658' first='Mikai' last='Klintman'], 6'0 PG Bergen Catholic</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Klintman ran the show for the for the Crusaders this year as he helped them get to the county and sectional title games. The 6'0 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender and finish around the basket. Klintman rarely gets sped up by on-ball pressure and shoots the ball with confidence from distance. He is a solid rebounder and moves his feet on the defensive end. Klintman's ability to run the offense is something that will help his game in a big way. </p>

<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150263' first='Evan' last='Cabral'], 6'2 CG Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cabral had a big season for the Ironmen as he was a defensive ace for them. The 6'2 guard is one of the top on-ball defenders in the state as he made it uncomfortable for ball-handlers to get into their offensive sets. Cabral moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups in the half court. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is unafraid of diving on the floor for loose balls. Cabral is a tough guard prospect whose ability to defend will help his stock in a big way.</p>

<h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902754' first='Jordan' last='Atkins'], 6'0 PG Rutgers Prep</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<p>Atkins is one of the more underrated guards in the 2023 class as he has been a key part of the Argonauts' success during his varsity career. The 6'0 guard plays with composure with the ball in his hands as he rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure and gets his teammates involved in the half court. Atkins can also play off the ball as he moves well within the offense and can finish around the basket. He is an underrated rebounder and is a tough on-ball defender. Atkins is a gritty guard prospect whose ability to make plays at both ends of the floor makes him an intriguing prospect to watch in the 2023 class.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Maynard had a breakout 2022-23 season for the Pirates as he led the team in scoring and helped them retain the Essex County Tournament title. The 6'2 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Maynard is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim and finish. He is an underrated passer and is able to get deflections on the defensive end. Maynard's ability to score at multiple levels along with his ability to handle the ball makes him one of the more interesting prospects in the 2023 class.</p>
