2024 Under the Radar North Jersey Shooting Guards to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Garden State high school basketball season is flying by as February is a little over 10 days away. The senior class has been making an impact on the hardwood this season, especially in the backcourt. Here are the 2024 under the radar shooting guards to track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1464420' first='Matt' last='Schwartz'], 6'4 Hunterdon Central</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schwartz has had a strong senior season for the Red Devils as he's shown the ability to score inside and out. The 6'4 lefty has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Schwartz does more than just shoot as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is an underrated rebounder. Schwartz is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should continue to torch the nets as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1775358' first='Corey' last='Rust'], 6'2 New Providence</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rust has done a little bit of everything for the Pioneers this season, helping them to a 9-3 record so far this season. The 6'2 guard has a good shooting stroke and has the potential to knock down triples in bunches. Rust moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He has the ability to play with the ball in his hands and slides his feet on the defensive end. Rust's ability to stretch the defense is something that will help his stock in a big way over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1776768' first='Cam' last='Brown'], 6'3 Franklin</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown has taken a step up offensively as he's shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc. The 6'3 guard wastes little motion in his release and sets his feet before he shoots. Brown is more than just a shooter as he can also beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. He works hard for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the potential to defend both backcourt spots. Brown has three games this season with four made triples and should have more games like that as the season continues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1786556' first='Trey' last='Maultsby'], 6'3 Pingry</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maultsby's versatility has been key for Pingry this season as he's helped them ton 8-2 record on the year. The 6'3 guard has a good first step, which he uses to get to the rim off the bounce and finish around the basket. Maultsby uses his size to see over his defender and can find his open teammates in the halfcourt. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and get deflections on the defensive end. Maultsby's ability to impact the game in a number of ways has helped his development in a big way this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273938' first='Johnny' last='Magner'], 6'4 Bridgewater-Raritan</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Magner has the potential to have a big February with his ability to score inside and out. The 6'4 guard has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Magner rarely forces jumpers in the halfcourt and moves well without the ball in his hands. He has the size to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Magner is a hard-working guard prospect whose ability to knock down jumpers from the perimeter will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
