The 6'1 guard shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc and was able to shoot the ball off the catch and bounce. Nayar attacked the basket as well, hitting shots around the rim and drew contact consistently. He slid his feet on the defensive end and moved well without the ball in his hands. Nayar put up points in bunches throughout the day and will look to continue to do that this July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1790209' first='Ethan' last='Lin'], 6'4 PG Montgomery</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lin put on a show at Jersey Live as he made plays all throughout the day at both ends of the floor. The Penn commit got to wherever he wanted on the floor and used his handle to create separation off the bounce. Lin pushed the pace well in transition and moved well without the ball in his hands. He used his length to get deflections on defense and was able to find his open teammates in the half court. Lin is a crafty guard prospect who should continue to showcase his skillset throughout the course of his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342636' first='Chidi' last='Chukwurah'], 6'3 PF Sayreville</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chukwurah was a load down low as he was able to do whatever he wanted during Jersey Live. The 6'3 forward used his strong frame to get position down low and showed off a soft touch around the basket. Chukwurah was good in the pick-and-roll game as he set good screens in the half court and rolled hard to the basket. He was a force on the boards and ran the floor hard at both ends of the floor. Chukwurah plays with a nonstop motor at both ends of the floor and should continue to do that over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763474' first='Aivaye' last='Ingram'], 6'4 SF Trenton</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ingram flashed during Jersey Live as he showed glimpses of what his potential could be. The 6'4 wing used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and showed a nice touch in the mid-range. Ingram attacked the basket with a purpose and moved well without the ball in his hands. He showed the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor and worked hard on the glass. Ingram is a lanky wing prospect whose ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his stock over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919208' first='Gerald' last='Edwell'], 6'5 PF Payne Tech</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edwell made an impact in the post throughout Jersey Live as opponents struggled to keep him off the glass. The 6'5 forward used his strong frame to get position in the post and finished nicely around the rim. Edwell showed a good face-up game as he was able to put the ball on the floor and showed a good release on his jumper. He ripped down rebounds at both ends of the floor and held his ground on the defensive end. Edwell is a physical forward prospect who should continue to dominate in the paint over the course of the 2025-26 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1859563' first='Tyshawn' last='Boyd'], 6'4 SF Arts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1985469' first='Gavin' last='Randall'],6'2 SG Madison</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gunther Neumann, 6'3 PG Delbarton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2917859' first='Alijah' last='Murphy'], 6'2 SG St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2205839' first='Luke' last='Cruz'], 6'9 PF Rumson Fair-Haven</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
