Chigozi Anyoura Chigozi Anyoura 6'4" | PF Immaculata | 2025 State NJ , 6’4 Immaculata
Anyoura impacts the game on both ends of the floor with his combination of athleticism and timing. The 6’4 forward explodes off the floor for dunks and is unafraid of contact. Anyoura has an underrated faceup game as he can also put the ball on the floor and hit open shots in the mid-range. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and influences shots around the rim on defense. Anyoura is an athletic forward prospect whose ability to impact the game around the rim will help his stock in a big way.
Nas Middleton Nas Middleton 6'5" | PF Teaneck | 2025 State NJ , 6’5 Teaneck
Middleton has the potential to have a big 2024 as he should get more touches on the offensive end. The 6’5 forward uses his strong frame to get position down low and can finish through contact. Middleton is good in the pick-and-roll game as he sets good screens and rolls hard to the basket. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on defense. Middleton is a strong forward prospect who is fresh off a 12-point, 15-rebound game in his last outing.
Cameron James Cameron James 6'5" | PF Ewing | 2025 State NJ , 6’5 Ewing
James is fresh off consecutive games in double-digits and is looking to continue the trend throughout the month. The 6’5 forward has a nice touch in the paint and is able to draw contact down low. James moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself up for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to disrupt opponents around the basket. James is a physical forward prospect whose ability to hit shots in the mid-range will help his development in a big way.
Wes Shirk Wes Shirk 6'5" | PF Hunterdon Central | 2025 State NJ , 6’5 Hunterdon Central
Shirk has had a strong season for the Red Devils as he’s established himself as the go-to frontcourt player. The 6’5 forward is comfortable on the perimeter as he has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Shirk can also put the ball on the floor and has a good touch around the basket. He is a strong rebounder and is an underrated interior defender. Shirk’s ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way over the next couple of months.
Jaydan Almonor Jaydan Almonor 6'5" | PF St. Joseph (Mont.) | 2025 State NJ , 6’6 St. Joseph (Mont.)
Almonor has the ability to have a breakout in 2024 if he is able to control the paint consistently. The 6’6 forward plays with a good motor as he runs the floor hard on both ends of the court. Almonor has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He rarely forces shots in the halfcourt and is a solid rebounder. Almonor’s ability to finish around the basket will complement his shooting, which will help his game in a big way.
