The 6'4 guard uses his size to see over his defender and knows how to find his open teammates in the half court. Johnson uses his handle to get by his defender and is a good finisher around the basket. He has a good release on his jumper and gets deflections on the defensive end. Johnson is a play-making point guard prospect who drove the Gray Bees' offense to the Prep A State championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902736' first='Isaac' last='Hester'], 6'0 Ranney School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hester had a big senior season for the Panthers as he led them to the Shore Conference Tournament final and the sectional semifinals. The 6'0 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish through contact around the basket. Hester knows how to get to his spot on the floor and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and moves his feet on the defensive end. Hester is a scoring point guard prospect whose recruitment will be one to watch this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773015' first='Mario' last='Castro-Sanchez'], 6'0 Gill St. Bernard's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Castro-Sanchez was instrumental to the Knights' success this season as he had six 30-point games.

Piggee is a hard-working point guard prospect who makes plays at both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1553658' first='Mikai' last='Klintman'], 6'0 Bergen Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Klintman was a steadying presence for the Crusaders as he helped them get to the county and sectional title games.

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 stock in a big way at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>Other Prospects to Watch</strong>:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1270515' first='Brandon' last='Dean'], 5'10 South Plainfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150278' first='Sutan' last='Fitzpatrick'], 5'10 Newark East Side</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1013068' first='Corey' last='Miller'], 6'1 Pennington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902754' first='Jordan' last='Atkins'], 6'0 Rutgers Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150281' first='Antwan' last='Bridgett'], 5'9 Trenton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
