He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Muntari’s ability to stretch the floor and block shots will help his stock in a big way over the next couple of months.

He is a good interior defender and is tough to box out on both ends of the floor. Munro is a physical forward prospect who should grow his game nicely over the next couple of months.
Nas Hart Nas Hart 6'8" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State #159 Nation NJ , 6’7 PF Keyport

He elevates for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Hart has the potential to play either the three or the four and should put his game on display over the next couple of months.
Vova Trotsko Vova Trotsko 6'7" | PF Colts Neck | 2024 State NJ , 6’7 PF Colts Neck
Trotsko had a strong 2022-23 season and it should carry over into the live period. The 6’7 forward is a good finisher around the basket and can make shots through contact. Trotsko has an underrated handle and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is a force on the glass at both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end.
