Nick Seeloch Nick Seeloch 5'10" | PG Holmdel | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Holmdel 2024
Seeloch was a standout at the Predators’ workout as he was unstoppable throughout the night. The 5’10 guard set his feet before he shot and drilled multiple triples during the scrimmage and game sessions. Seeloch played with poise throughout the session as he rarely turned the ball over and threaded passes to teammates. He moved well without the ball in his hands and got deflections on defense. Seeloch’s ability to control the flow of the offense is something that will help his stock in a big way this month.
Jaycen Santucci Jaycen Santucci 6'4" | SG Central Regional | 2025 State NJ , 6’3 SG Central 2025
Santucci had a strong day at the Predators’ workout as he showed his ability to score at multiple levels. The 6’3 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to create separation from his man and get to the rim. Santucci gets to his spot on the floor and rises with confidence on his jumper. He moved his feet on the defensive end and ripped down rebounds. Santucci will be a prospect to watch on the perimeter with his combination of his first step, finishing, athleticism and shooting.
Sam Jones Sam Jones PG Sayreville | 2026 State NJ , G Sayreville 2026
Jones had a big day at the Predators’ workout as he influenced the game throughout. He was constantly in the paint as his defender was unable to stop him off the bounce. Jones finished strong around the rim and wasted little motion in his jumper. He played tough on-ball defense and moved well without the ball in his hands. Jones is a tough guard prospect whose stock will rise throughout the spring and summer.
Vova Trotsko Vova Trotsko 6'7" | PF Colts Neck | 2024 State NJ , 6’7 PF Colts Neck 2025
Trotsko had a good showing at the Predators’ workout as he was unstoppable around the rim. The 6’7 forward used his strong frame to get space down low and was constantly getting offensive rebounds during the game sessions. Trotsko showed off a nice touch around the basket and elevated for dunks. He ripped down rebounds on the defensive end and has a high release on his jumper. Trotsko is a physical forward prospect whose ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way this spring and summer.
Patrick McGrath Patrick McGrath 5'10" | PG Governor Livingston | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Governor Livingston 2024
McGrath made plays throughout the workout as he showed his ability to lead the offense during the spring. The 5’10 floor general played with good floor vision as he was able to make the correct reads and find open teammates in the half court. McGrath played with composure with the ball in his hands and did not force the issue. He finished nicely around the basket and slid his feet on the defensive end. McGrath is a cerebral lead guard prospect who should run the offense efficiently in the spring and summer.
