The 6'6 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Lynch is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finishes nicely around the basket. He rarely forces shots in the half court and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Lynch is a lanky guard prospect who should make plays throughout the course of the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639942' first='Joel' last='Kabugi'], 6'4 Life Center Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kabugi has been making his presence felt this spring and is looking to carry it over into the summer. The 6'4 guard explodes off the floor for dunks and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. Kabugi can also score in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He has the athleticism to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Kabugi has the ability to play either spot on the wing and his versatility will help his development this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2344530' first='Noah' last='Perna'], 6'1 Southern</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perna will have the opportunity to play on the ball this summer, which will be key for his development. The 6'1 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes strong around the basket. Perna can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He slides his feet on the defensive end and pushes the pace well in transition. Perna's ability to make plays with the ball in his hands is something that will help his stock in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2347936' first='Devin' last='Williams'], 6'2 Woodbury</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams has the potential to have a strong summer with his ability to stretch the floor from behind the arc. The 6'2 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Williams moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He can also play on the ball at times and is an underrated defender. Williams is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421373' first='Tommy' last='Calaprese'], Cliffside Park</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Calaprese is one of the top shooters in Bergen County and should put it on display this summer. He wastes little motion in his release and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Calaprese can also get into the lane off the bounce and finishes nicely around the basket. He has shown the ability to play on the ball at times and moves well without the ball in his hands. Calaprese's ability to stretch the floor is something that will help him get recognition this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2568645' first='Austin' last='Kolakowski'], 6'0 Delbarton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2203813' first='Neel' last='Sappidi'], 6'2 Pingry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2621818' first='Hunter' last='Hynes'], 6'3 Point Pleasant Boro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201963' first='Antonio' last='Tristani'], 6'1 Bergen Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391282' first='Avery' last='George'], 6'3 Seton Hall Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
