Cristian Nicholson Cristian Nicholson 5'7" | PG Morris Catholic | 2025 State NJ , 5’7 PG Morris Catholic
Nicholson jumped up the most of any prospect in the rankings as he went up 45 spots in the update. The 5’7 guard has a good handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and makes plays in the paint. Nicholson finishes in a variety of ways around the basket and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He plays with good floor vision and gets deflections on the defensive end. Nicholson is a true, floor general whose ability to run the offense effectively will help his stock to continue to rise over the next couple of months.
Kevin Pikiell Kevin Pikiell 6'3" | SG CBA | 2025 State NJ , 6’3 SG CBA
Pikiell had a big junior season for the Colts, which resulted in him moving up 28 spots in the rankings. The 6’3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and can make shots through contact. Pikiell can also score in the mid-range and rarely forces bad shots in the halfcourt. He is an underrated passer and slides his feet on the defensive end. Pikiell is a gritty guard prospect whose ability to make plays on both ends of the floor will help his game in a big way.
Quinn Gibson Quinn Gibson 6'4" | SF Cherry Hill West | 2025 State NJ , 6’4 SF Cherry Hill West
Gibson had a breakout junior campaign, which resulted in him going up 24 spots in the update. The 6’4 wing uses his handle effectively, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the basket. Gibson is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He works for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is an underrated defender. Gibson had nine games of at least 25 points in 2023-24 and should eclipse that mark in 2024-25.
Myles Parker Myles Parker 6'7" | SG Rutgers Prep | 2025 State NJ , 6’7 SG Rutgers Prep
Parker moved up 19 spots in the rankings as he showed his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6’7 lefty has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. Parker moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself up for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Parker is a sharpshooting wing prospect who should continue to torch the nets from distance over the next couple of months.
Aiden Ur Aiden Ur 6'4" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2025 State NJ , 6’4 PG St. Thomas Aquinas
Ur jumped up 19 spots in the update as he showed the ability to score inside and out. The 6’4 guard uses his size to see over his defender and rises up with confidence on his jumper. Ur is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finish. He moves well without the ball in his hands and has the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor. Ur is a talented guard prospect who should continue his strong play during the spring and summer.
