Shane Sheehan Shane Sheehan 6'9" | PF Westfield | 2024 State NJ , 6’9 Westfield
Sheehan has the potential to play either the three or the four, which makes him a frontcourt prospect to track. The 6’9 forward has a nice touch around the basket and is capable of finishing through contact. Sheehan can also play in the pick-and-pop game as his range extends out to the three-point line. He uses his size to influence shots around the basket and is a strong rebounder. Sheehan’s ability to influence the game around the basket is something that will help his stock in a big way.
Vova Trotsko Vova Trotsko 6'7" | PF Colts Neck | 2024 State NJ , 6’7 Colts Neck
Trotsko has the potential to have a big July with his ability to score inside and out. The 6’7 forward knows how to get position down low and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. Trotsko can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter and has a good release on his jumper. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Trotsko’s ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his development over the next couple of weeks.
Terrance Wood Terrance Wood 6'6" | PF Union Catholic | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 Union Catholic
Wood is an intriguing prospect to watch this July as he always seems to make an impact on the floor. The 6’6 forward is a force on the glass as he is able to secure offensive rebounds for his team and can finish through contact. Wood can also stretch the floor as he can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He slides his feet on the defensive end and moves well without the ball in his hands. Wood is a hard-working forward prospect whose ability to finish around the rim will help his game nicely.
Emanuel Domingo Emanuel Domingo 6'6" | PF St. John Vianney | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 St. John Vianney
Domingo had a strong spring and is looking to carry it over into July. The lanky 6’6 forward explodes off the floor for dunks and is able to finish around the basket. Domingo has a high release on his jumper and can knock down shots from behind the arc. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and swats a ton of shots around the rims. Domingo is a long forward prospect who makes plays at both ends of the floor and should continue to do so throughout the month.
Will Mensah Will Mensah 6'6" | PF Don Bosco Prep | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 Don Bosco Prep
Mensah has the ability to breakout this July as he gets the ability to put his game on display. The 6’6 forward has a good touch around the basket and runs the floor hard. Mensah sets good screens in the half court and has an underrated handle. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is a solid defender. Mensah is a high-energy forward prospect who will be one to watch in July.
