Continue ReadingThe 2024 available pool just got a little bit smaller as St. Rose forward Matt Hodge Matt Hodge 6'8" | PF St. Rose | 2024 State #104 Nation NJ committed to Villanova on Friday. The class still has players who can make an impact at the next level, even in Non-Public B. Here are the top available 2024 Non-Public B prospects.
Jaden Kelly Jaden Kelly 6'4" | SG Roselle Catholic | 2024 State NJ , 6’4 SG Roselle Catholic
Kelly is the top available Non-Public B prospect and is in line for a strong 2023-24 season. The 6’4 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Kelly moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He slides his feet well on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Kelly is a three-and-D prospect whose ability to stretch the floor will help his stock in a big way this season.
Gio Panzini Gio Panzini 6'5" | SF St. Rose | 2024 State NJ , 6’5 SF St. Rose
Panzini has the potential to play either the three or the four, making him one of the more intriguing prospects in the class. The 6’5 wing is comfortable on the perimeter as he can put the ball on the floor and finish strong around the rim. Panzini does not mind drawing contact in the paint and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is a strong rebounder. Panzini’s ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his game throughout the winter.
Andrew Buck Andrew Buck 6'3" | SG Ranney School | 2024 State NJ , 6’3 SG Ranney
Buck is the Panthers’ top returning scorer, meaning he is primed for a big senior season. The 6’3 guard has a nice shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. Buck is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finish around the basket. He can bring the ball up the floor at times and slides his feet on defense. Buck will have the ball in his hands more in 2023-24 and has the potential to put up big numbers this season.
Luke Gaccione Luke Gaccione 5'10" | PG St. Mary's (Rutherford) | 2025 NLG , 5’10 PG St. Mary’s Rutherford
Gaccione has been running the Gaels’ offense over the past three years and will do so again in 2023-24. The 5’10 lefty has a quick release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence from deep. Gaccione plays with good court vision as he finds his teammates for open shots in the halfcourt. He has the ability to play off the ball as well and is an underrated defender. Gaccione is a sharp-shooting guard prospect whose ability to involve his teammates will help his game over the next couple of months.
Sam Tornabene Sam Tornabene 6'6" | SF St. Mary's Rutherford | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 SF St. Mary’s Rutherford
Tornabene can play either the three or the four spot and should put his game on display this season. The 6’6 forward has a solid handle as he can put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. Tornabene uses his size to see over his defender and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the potential to defend multiple positions. Tornabene is a long forward prospect who has the potential to breakout in 2023-24.
