Dilone can also put the ball on the floor and is able to draw contact in the paint. He rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor and influences shots around the basket. Dilone is a physical forward prospect who knows how to score the ball inside.
John Kelly John Kelly 6'7" | SF Rutgers Prep | 2024 State NJ , 6’7 SF Rutgers Prep

Kelly’s versatility is something that will help his game and development at the next level.
Will Mensah Will Mensah 6'6" | PF Don Bosco Prep | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 PF Don Bosco Prep

Mensah is a tough, forward prospect whose ability to make an impact in the paint will help him in a big way.
Owen Griffin Owen Griffin 6'4" | SF St. Joe's Metuchen | 2024 State NJ , 6’4 SF St. Joe’s Metuchen
Griffin plays more like a power forward, but has the potential to play on the wing as well. The 6’4 forward knows how to get position down low and is unafraid of drawing contact inside. Griffin has a nice touch around the basket and can also put the ball on the floor. He is tough to boxout on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Griffin is a gritty, forward prospect who will do whatever it takes to help his team win games.
