The senior class is looking to end their careers on a high note and should have big games in the state tournament, including unranked prospects. Here are the 2024 unranked prospects to watch on Thursday.
Kori Segich Kori Segich 6'3" | SF Ocean City | 2024 State NJ , 6’3 SF Ocean City
Segich has been on a scoring tear all season as he has scored over 600 points so far this season. The 6’3 wing attacks the basket strong as he finishes nicely around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Segich knows how to get to his spot on the floor and rises up nicely on his jumper. He is a solid rebounder and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Segich has eight straight games with at least 20 points and is looking to continue the streak in the state tournament on Thursday night.
Jalen Long Jalen Long 5'10" | PG Camden Eastside | 2024 State NJ , 5’10 PG Camden Eastside
Long has been running the offense for the Tigers this season and should continue his strong play in the state tournament. The 5’10 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Long can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He plays with good floor vision and uses his quick hands to get steals on defense. Long is a speedy, lead guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor during the state tournament.
Corey Mulholland Corey Mulholland 6'4" | SF Wayne Hills | 2024 State NJ , 6’4 SF Wayne Hills
Mulholland is an intriguing prospect to watch as he can impact the game in a variety of ways. The Dominican baseball/basketball commit uses his handle effectively as he gets to his spot on the floor and finishes nicely around the basket. Mulholland is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and wastes little motion on his jumper. He is a solid passer and slides his feet on the defensive end. Mulholland has the ability to score inside and out, which should help Wayne Hills on Thursday.
John Michael Vlasac John Michael Vlasac 6'3" | PF Hopewell Valley | 2024 State NJ , 6’3 PF Hopewell Valley
Vlasac has powered the Bulldogs’ offense all season and should continue it in the state tournament. The 6’3 forward uses his strong frame to get position down low and can finish through contact. Vlasac also has a good faceup game as he can put the ball on the floor and knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and can also pass out of the post. Vlasac is a gritty, forward prospect who should be tough to stop in the state tournament.
Kieran Durkin Kieran Durkin 6'5" | PF Morris Knolls | 2024 State NJ , 6’5 PF Morris Knolls
Durkin does a little bit of everything for the Golden Eagles, which will be key for them on Thursday night. The 6’5 forward has a good touch around the basket and does not mind contact. Durkin can also play on the perimeter as he can put the ball on the floor and can find his open teammates in the halfcourt. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and influences shots around the basket. Durkin’s versatility is something that will be key for Morris Knolls during the state tournament.
