The 6'3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he can explode off the floor for dunks and can draw contact in the paint.

Maultsby is a physical guard prospect who is unafraid of doing the dirty work to help his team win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1809147' first='Lincoln' last='Zimmermann'], 6'2 SG Delbarton</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zimmermann had a strong senior season for the Green Wave as he helped them repeat as Morris County Tournament champions.
