<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202021' first='Aidan' last='Carter'], 6'5 St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Carter can also play on the ball, which makes him one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. The 6'5 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and finishes in a variety of ways around the rim. Carter can also score in the mid-range and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and pushes the pace well in transition. Carter's stock is one the rise after a big summer and should continue to rise over the course of the season.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763627' first='Isaiah' last='Thatcher'], 6'1 Paul VI</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thatcher's stock has the ability to rise this winter with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 6'1 guard has a nice handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes nicely around the rim. Thatcher is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He works hard on the defensive end and rarely forces jumpers in the half court. Thatcher should get more touches in the half court, which should help his development over the course of the season.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504893' first='Branden' last='Martucci'], 6'0 Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Martucci is one of the top shooters in the 2028 class and should put it on display this weekend. The 6'0 guard has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches Martucci moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He uses his handle to find his spot on the floor and is an underrated defender. Martucci should torch the nets from distance this season, which will help his stock throughout the course of the winter.</p>

<p>Mueller had a strong summer and should build upon that this winter. The 6'2 guard has a good first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and finishes well around the rim. Mueller has a nice release on his jumper and moves well without the ball in his hands. He can get deflections on the defensive end and rarely forces jumpers in the half court.

<p>Harris will shoulder a bigger scoring load this season, which will help his game over the next couple of months. The 5'10 guard has a solid handle, which he uses to get into the lane and knows how to finish around the rim. Harris can find his open teammates in the half court and rises up nicely on his jumper. He can also play on the ball at times and is an underrated defender. Harris' ability to make plays on the ball is something that will help his stock throughout the winter.</p>
