<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The weekend is finally here, meaning the summer season is coming to a close. The 2027 class is looking to make its mark this weekend, especially in the front court. Here are the 2027 Group 1 forward prospect to track this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201954' first='Jkhai' last='Singletary'], 6'4 SF Paterson Charter</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Singletary is one of the top wing prospects in the class and should put it on display this weekend. The 6'4 wing explodes off the floor for dunks and is able to draw contact in the paint. Singletary 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 defender. Singletary is a lanky wing prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2628256' first='Ryan' last='Law'], 6'7 PF Glen Ridge</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Law has had a big AAU season and is looking to cap it off this weekend. The 6'7 forward has a good face-up game as he can get to the rim off the bounce and his range extends out to the three-point line. Law uses his frame to get position in the paint and has a soft touch around the rim. He is a force on the boards and influences a ton of shots on the defensive end. Law is a talented forward prospect who should put his full game on display this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201968' first='Mekhi' last='Jean-Pierre'], 6'5 SF Arts</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unlike the girls' program, the Arts' boys program did not get moved up to Group 2, making Jean-Pierre eligible for this list. The 6'5 wing has a good first step, which he uses to get to the rim off the bounce and knows how to finish above the rim. Jean-Pierre uses his size to see over his defender and can also hit open shots on the perimeter. He uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end and is a solid rebounder. Jean-Pierre is a lanky wing prospect who should get deflections on defense and finish around the rim over the course of the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3544098' first='Antonio' last='Miccinilli'], 6'4 SF Waldwick</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miccinilli can play either spot on the perimeter and should put is on display this weekend. The 6'4 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Miccinilli moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He is an underrated defender and works hard on the defensive end. Miccinilli is a sharpshooting wing prospect who should torch the nets from distance over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3563490' first='Zion' last='Glover'], 6'5 SF Newark Global Studies</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glover has the potential to play either forward spot, making him an intriguing prospect to watch. The 6'5 forward knows how to get position down low and has a good touch around the rim. Glover can also put the ball on the floor and is an underrated passer out of the post. He is a strong rebounder and holds his ground on the defensive end. Glover is a gritty forward prospect who should rip down rebounds and get to the basket off the bounce over the next couple of days. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Track:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2628241' first='Joseph' last='Newell'], 6'2 SF/PF Henry Hudson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2864803' first='Elijah' last='Ashe'], 6'4 PF LEAP Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2432045' first='Adam' last='Reilly'], 6'4 PF Hawthorne</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maurice Davis Jr., 6'4 SF Glassboro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2686046' first='Christopher' last='Herrera'], 6'1 SF/PF Keyport</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
