Nas Robinson Nas Robinson 5'9" | PG Linden | 2024 State NJ , 5’8 PG Linden
His teammate Kabe Goss is also slated to have a big AAU summer as the Jersey Force play with one of quickest backcourts in the area. Robinson possesses a lightning quick first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and finish around the rim. The 5’8 guard has a nice touch on his floater and can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. His ability to play on and off the ball allows him to play with Goss, creating a pair of quick on-ball defenders in the backcourt. Robinson is a speedy lead guard prospect who should have a strong next couple of months.
Ryan Frauenheim Ryan Frauenheim 5'10" | PG Manasquan | 2024 State NJ , 5’9 PG Manasquan
Frauenheim had a solid April during the UAA sessions and it should carry over into the rest of the AAU season. The 5’9 guard does not get rattled by on-ball pressure and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. Frauenheim has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. He is a good finisher around the rim and is not afraid of drawing contact. Frauenheim is a gamer who does whatever it takes to help his team win games.
Semaj Bethea Semaj Bethea 5'10" | PG Camden | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG St. Augustine
Bethea is an intriguing guard prospect to watch this summer for NEBC as he influences the game in a number of ways. The 5’10 guard uses his handle effectively as he knows how to get into the lane and finish. Bethea gets to his spot on the floor and has a good release on his jumper. He knows how to get his teammates involved in the halfcourt and uses his quick hands to get deflections on defense. Bethea is a speedy lead guard prospect who should make plays throughout the summer.
Nick Seeloch Nick Seeloch 5'10" | PG Holmdel | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Holmdel
Seeloch runs the show for the Jersey Shore Predators and should make plays for them over the next couple of months. The 5’10 guard plays with good court vision as he’s able to find his open teammates moving in the halfcourt. Seeloch is a good finisher around the basket and wastes little motion in his jumper. He has the ability to play off the ball as well and is an underrated defender. Seeloch’s ability to run the offense effectively is something that will help his stock in a big way.
Luke Gaccione Luke Gaccione 5'10" | PG St. Mary's (Rutherford) | 2025 New E , 5’10 PG St. Mary’s Rutherford
Gaccione is set to have a strong next couple of months with the NJ Panthers with his ability to make plays on the perimeter. The 5’10 guard has a quick release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence from distance. Gaccione is a good passer as he can thread passes to teammates and runs the offense smoothly. He can also play off the ball and is able to get deflections on the defensive end. Gaccione’s ability to stretch the floor and run the offense is key for his development over the next couple of months.
