The 5'10 lefty has a quick release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Cavanaugh moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He is able to get deflections on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Cavanaugh is a sharpshooting guard whose ability to run the offense will be key to him having a big weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1214158' first='Anthony' last='Farmer'], 5'10 Salem</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Farmer is a solid lead guard prospect who knows how to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 5'10 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the basket. Farmer is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint and can knock down jumpers in the mid-range. He is a good on-ball defender and is a good rebounder for a guard his size. Farmer's ability to get into the paint and score is something that will help his game in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1557105' first='Jianni' last='Moran'], 5'9 Fair Lawn</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moran's ability to run the offense smoothly is something that will help his game this weekend. The 5'9 guard plays with good court vision as he can thread passes to open teammates and doesn't get rattled by on-ball pressure. Moran has a good shooting stroke and can get hot from distance. He is a solid on-ball defender and has the ability to play off the ball as well. Moran is a floor general whose ability to get his teammates involved and finish around the rim will help his development this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407079' first='Ka'Juan' last='Gee'], 6'0 Paterson Charter</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gee has played off the ball more during the AAU season, which has helped his game in a big way. The 6'0 guard defends the ball well as he makes it hard for his man to get to his spot on the floor. Gee has a good handle, which he uses to get to the rim and finish around the basket. He is a solid rebounder and can get his teammates involved in the halfcourt. Gee's ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his stock in a big way over the course of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1216351' first='Francis' last='Denvir'], 5'10 Delaware Valley</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Denvir has had a strong summer and it should continue this weekend. The 5'10 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to the basket and finish around the rim.

Denvir has the ability to score points in bunches, which will help him have a big weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273929' first='Alex' last='George'], 6'2 Shore Regional</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456826' first='Mike' last='Amador'], 6'1 West Morris</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1942192' first='Micah' last='Eason'], 5'11 Woodbridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407196' first='Jeremiah' last='Williams'], 6'2 Bound Brook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1050402' first='Josh' last='Moore'], 5'9 Montgomery</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
