2024 Colonial Conference Prospects to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The South Jersey Conference previews have been coming out over the last couple of days and it continues with the Colonial Conference. Here are the 2024 Colonial Conference prospects to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547460' first='Sam' last='Narducci'], 6'0 PG Haddonfield</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Narducci had a strong junior season for Haddonfield as he led them in scoring and has the potential to lead them in scoring again in his final varsity season. The 6'0 guard has a quick release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Narducci is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finish. He has the ability to play off the ball as well and uses his quick hands to generate steals on defense. Narducci had three 20-point games last season, which is a number that should increase for him in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407085' first='Michael' last='Light'], 5'11 PG Gloucester</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Light will be shouldering a larger scoring role this season as he is the Lions' top returning scorer this season. The 5'11 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get into the lane and finish around the basket. Light can also finish in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He is a solid rebounder and moves his feet on defense. Light has the potential to breakout this season as he will have more touches on the offensive end this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107684' first='Tajamir' last='Brown'], 6'2 SG Lindenwold</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown had a breakout junior campaign and is looking to build upon it in 2023-24. The 6'2 guard is electric off the bounce as he routinely gets into the paint and can finish around the basket in a number of ways. Brown does not mind drawing contact around the basket and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He has the length to defend both backcourt spots and is an underrated passer. Brown should light up the scoreboard this season as he can put up points in bunches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919090' first='Ryan' last='Johnston'], 6'1 SG Audubon</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnston had big moments for the Green Wave last season and should put up big numbers in 2023-24. The 6'1 guard has a good shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Johnston moves well without the ball, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the backcourt. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is an underrated defender. Johnston has the potential to top the 1,000-point mark this season with his ability to stretch the floor and finish around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Walt Garrison, 6'2 W Sterling</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garrison is a breakout prospect to watch in the conference as he will receive more looks on the offensive end. The 6'2 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he finishes strong around the rim and does not mind drawing contact. Garrison gets to his spot on the floor and rarely forces shots in the halfcourt. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Garrison is the Silver Knights' second highest returning scorer and will be tasked with elevating his scoring numbers if they want to return to the sectional title game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
