Continue ReadingThe 2024 Group 1 class got a little bit smaller as Shore Regional guard Alex George Alex George 6'2" | PG Shore Regional | 2024 State NJ committed to Haverford recently. The group still has players available who can make an impact at the next level. Here are the top available 2024 Group 1 prospects.
Eunique Rink Eunique Rink 6'9" | C College Achieve | 2024 State NJ , 6’9 C College Achieve
Rink is the top available prospect in Group 1 and is in line for a big 2023-24 season. The 6’9 post swats almost everything around the basket and rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor. Rink is able to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. He is able to draw contact down low and has a high release on his free throws. Rink is one of the top rim-protectors in the class and will be a load on the block for the Knights this season.
Merle Hans Merle Hans 5'10" | PG Wildwood | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Wildwood
Hans has been a key part of Wildwood’s offense for the past two seasons and will do so again in his senior season. The 5’10 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a number of ways around the basket. Hans doesn’t get rattled by on-ball pressure and can make opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He is an underrated passer and gets deflections on the defensive end to generate turnovers. Hans has poured in over 1,100 points in his varsity career and should eclipse the 1,500-point mark in 2023-24.
Anthony Farmer Anthony Farmer 5'10" | PG Salem | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Salem
Farmer will be running the Rams’ offense once again this season as he is looking to lead them to a deep postseason run. The 5’10 guard has a good first step as he gets to the rim off the bounce and can finish through contact. Farmer can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He is a strong rebounder for a guard his size and slides his feet on defense. Farmer is a tough guard prospect who knows how to make plays with the ball in his hands.
Deangelo Hibbert Deangelo Hibbert 6'4" | SF Paterson Charter | 2024 State NJ , 6’4 SF Paterson Charter
Hibbert is primed for a breakout season as he should receive more touches on the offensive end. The 6’4 forward has a good face-up game as he can get to the rim off the bounce and finish around the basket. Hibbert uses his strong frame to draw contact down low and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor.
Ka’Juan Gee Ka’Juan Gee 6'0" | PG Paterson Charter | 2024 State NJ , 6’0 PG Paterson Charter
Gee is the Lions’ top returning scorer and should put up even bigger numbers in 2023-24. The 6’0 guard has a nice handle as he can blow by his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. Gee has a good touch on his floater and can also play off the ball. He pushes the ball well in transition and is a tough on-ball defender. Gee is a gritty, guard prospect who will be looking to lead the Lions to a sectional title this season.
