Jehki Burnam Jehki Burnam 6'4" | SF Linden | 2026 State NJ , 6’5 W NJ Beasts (Linden)
Burnam had a strong weekend as he was able to showcase his ability to score the ball in the halfcourt. The 6’5 wing showed off a smooth release on his jumper and wasted little motion in his release. Burnam rose up with confidence on his jumper and was able to get to his spot off the bounce. He moved well without the ball in his hands and slid his feet well on the defensive end. Burnam’s ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his game throughout the spring and summer.
Jebron Harris Jebron Harris 6'4" | SF College Achieve Charter | 2026 State NJ , 6’4 W Shoreshots Rio UAA (College Achieve)
Harris had a solid showing for Shoreshots Rio UAA as he helped them get to the 16U platinum bracket quarterfinals. The 6’4 wing has a clean shooting stroke and knocked down open jumpers from behind the arc. Harris also put the ball on the floor nicely and was able to draw contact in the halfcourt. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and pushed the pace at times in transition. Harris is a sharpshooting guard prospect who is looking to torch the nets from distance in the opening UAA session next weekend.
Julius Avent Julius Avent 6'6" | SF Bergen Catholic | 2026 State NJ , 6’7 W PSA Cardinals (Bergen Catholic)
Avent made plays for the PSA Cardinals this weekend as he put his game on display. The 6’7 wing attacked the basket with a purpose as he finished strong above the rim and was able to draw contact in the paint. Avent showed a nice touch around the basket and used his size to see over his defender. He ripped down rebounds on both ends of the floor and used his length to be disruptive on the defensive end. Avent is a lanky, wing prospect who has the potential to make noise in the opening EYBL session next weekend.
Andrew Adegbite Andrew Adegbite 6'5" | PF Pompton Lakes | 2026 State NJ , 6’5 F NJ Panthers (Pompton Lakes)
Adegbite made a statement for himself this weekend as he made plays on both ends of the floor. The 6’5 forward used his strong frame to get position down low and showed a nice touch around the basket. Adegbite drilled a couple of triples as he showed off his range. He stood his ground on the defensive end to take a pair of charges and worked for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Adegbite is a hard-working forward prospect whose ability to stretch the floor will help his development in a big way this spring and summer.
Connor Andree Connor Andree 6'5" | PF CBA | 2026 State NJ , 6’4 PF Shoreshots HGSL (CBA)
Andree had a good showing for Shoreshots HGSL as he impacted the game in a number of ways. The 6’4 forward played with good footwork down low and was not afraid of drawing contact down low. Andree rarely forced shots in the halfcourt and found open teammates in the halfcourt. He was tough to box out on both ends of the floor and got position defensively down low. Andree’s stock will continue to rise if he maintains this level of play throughout the spring and summer.
