<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the Legacy Team Camp unfolded at Weequahic High School, the spotlight continued to shine on the remarkable talent within New Jersey's class of 2026. After the impressive displays highlighted in Part 1, Part 2 promises another round of emerging prospects who further exemplify the skill, dedication, and competitive spirit that define this new generation of high school basketball standouts. In the following profiles, we turn our attention to those players who carried their teams, demonstrated advanced instincts, and made their mark on the camp's intense five-day schedule. These athletes not only reinforced their reputations but also raised expectations for the future of New Jersey basketball. Dive in to discover the next wave of top performers from the Legacy Team Camp's 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1595685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2950428,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a7960ae56c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burnam is a forward that has a lengthy build with feel and intangibles beyond his years. Controlling the defensive glass and adept at throwing outlet passes to begin the break. He used his length to wall-up and contest shots in the paint making it difficult for opposing teams to score. On the offensive end he was at his best when he was aggressively slashing to the rim. Also showed good footwork inside and soft touch, executing many jump-hooks and short floaters in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2950431,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jaren Barnette","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Linden HS ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a7960ae579e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaren known for his scoring and strong presence he leaves when on the floor with his activity. He is primarily dangerous off the catch but can create his own shots when needed. Jaren possesses deep range beyond the arc and consistently gets to the free-throw line. He shows balance in his game, excelling both off the ball and off the dribble. His strong inside presence and rebounding skills provide crucial second-chance opportunities and defensive stops for the talented Linden team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2342605"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2950442,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a7960ae57f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6-5, [player_tooltip player_id='2342605' first='Trevor' last='Whitaker'] is a smooth, versatile guard-forward who seamlessly transitions between playing on and off the ball. His ability to pressure the rim, finish inside, and shoot from beyond the arc showcases a well-rounded offensive skill set. Whitaker's jump shot features fluid mechanics and consistent accuracy. Despite currently drawing Division III interest, his college-level talent and mature approach suggest that higher programs will soon take notice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1919208"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68a7960ae583a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edwell, a 6-5, 245-pound forward, combines power with finesse in his game. He dominates the boards, initiates fast breaks, and can create off the dribble. Edwell's wide frame makes him a force around the basket, and he impresses with a reliable perimeter jumper out to 17 feet and ability to breakdown opponents using the dribble. His two-way capabilities make him a match-up nightmare and a prospect with upside on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
