Continue ReadingThe 2022 class has already made an impact during their high school careers. Will Richardson Will Richardson 6'2" | PG Bergen Catholic | 2022 State #76 Nation NJ , Mark Armstrong Mark Armstrong 6'2" | PG St. Peter's Prep | 2022 State #39 Nation NJ and Ben Roy Ben Roy 6'2" | PG Manasquan | 2022 State #218 Nation NJ have all made All-State teams, while Zion Cruz provides the class with star power. The wing group is also strong with players having the ability to make an impact at the next level. Here are the top under the radar wings in the 2022 class.
Darren Tuck Darren Tuck 6'4" | SG St. Joe's Metuchen | 2022 State NJ , 6’4 SG Immaculata
Tuck had a strong summer session for NJ Panthers 16U team, which should parlay into a big junior campaign. The lanky 6’4 guard can take his defender off the dribble and finish around the rim. Tuck is more than just a slasher as he can knock down perimeter jumpers and has a good release on his jumper. He is an underrated passer and uses his long arms to make plays on the defensive end. Tuck will be shouldered with more responsibility for Immaculata, but he is ready to be the go-to guy for the Spartans.
Andrew Ball Andrew Ball 6'8" | SF Shawnee | 2022 State NJ , 6’6 SF Shawnee
Ball is one of the more underrated players in South Jersey and is ready to put his name on the map. The 6’6 wing has a good-looking shooting stroke and knows how to move off the ball. Ball sets his feet before he shoots and is capable of knocking down three-pointers in bunches. He is more than just a shooter as he can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. Ball is a skilled wing who should have a big junior campaign for Shawnee.
Nate Williams Nate Williams 6'4" | SG St. John Vianney | 2022 State NJ , 6’2 SG St. John Vianney
Williams may be an undersized wing, but he used it to his advantage with a strong summer for the Jersey Force 16U team. The 6’2 guard has a sweet shooting stroke and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Williams can also handle the ball on the perimeter and is an underrated passer. He plays with quick hands on the defensive end and knows how to move his feet. Williams could be one of the top scorers in the Shore Conference with his ability to knock down triples.
Tyler Bey Tyler Bey 6'9" | SF Fairfax | 2023 #177 Nation CA-S , 6’6 SF St. Benedict’s
The Grey Bees are a perennial powerhouse in the Garden State and will get an impact from Bey this season. The Delsea transfer is a big-time athlete who knows how to finish above the rim. Bey has a nice touch around the basket and knows how to draw contact. He uses his length and athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Bey may come off the bench for St. Benedict’s, but his combination of size and athleticism will have him playing significant minutes.
Alex Bauman Alex Bauman 6'4" | SF Red Bank Catholic | 2022 State NJ , 6’4 SF Red Bank Catholic
Bauman’s collegiate career may be on the gridiron, but he makes an impact on the hardwood as well. The 6’4 forward has a good handle and ran the offense at times for the Caseys last season. Bauman is at his best attacking the basket as he uses his strong frame to finish through contact. He is a good perimeter defender as he knows how to move his feet and can create turnovers with his quick hands. Bauman is a versatile forward prospect who gives Red Bank Catholic the flexibility it needs on the perimeter.
