Zack Davis Zack Davis 6'7" | SF Peddie | 2024 State NJ , 6’7 F Peddie (Jersey Force) 2024
Davis had a standout day for the Jersey Force 16U squad as he showed off his ability to affect the offense in a number of different ways. The 6’7 forward shot the ball with confidence from the perimeter as he drilled multiple triples and has a nice release on his jumper. Davis moved well without the ball in his hands and finished nicely around the basket. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and played solid defense. Davis’ ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way.
Jordan Summers Jordan Summers 6'7" | PF Bound Brook | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 PF Bound Brook (NJ Panthers) 2023
Summers had an outstanding day for the NJ Panthers 17U team as he was impressive at both ends of the floor. The 6’7 forward ran the floor hard and was able to finish through traffic. Summers showed off his range as he knocked down four triples in the second game and also put the ball on the floor to get to the rim. He fought for rebounds on both ends of the floor and influenced shots on the defensive end with his length. Summers picked up an offer from Catawaba College today and could see more come his way with more performances like he had on day one.
Ryan Zan, 6’7 PF Perkiomen (East Coast Cyclones) 2023
Zan was a force down low for the Cyclones as defenders had little answer for him down low. The 6’7 forward used his body to finish through contact around the basket and showed a nice touch inside. Zan elevated for a couple of big-time slams in transition and was unafraid to let it fly from behind the arc. He made good decisions with the ball in his hands ripped down rebounds at both ends of the floor. Zan’s stock is on the rise and will continue to go up with more games like he had today.
Alex Grospe Alex Grospe 5'10" | PG South River | 2025 State NJ , 5’7 PG South River (NJ Bulldogs) 2025
Despite being two grade levels below opponents on the other team, Grospe was still able to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 5’7 guard played with poise with the ball in his hands and used his handle to get into the lane. Grospe made good decisions with the ball in his hands and knocked down critical triples down the stretch. He found his teammates in good spots in the half court and pushed the pace in the open floor. Grospe is a true floor general who will be one to watch over the next couple of years.
Robert Wright III Robert Wright III 6'0" | PG Montverde Academy (FL) | 2024 State #35 Nation FL , 6’1 PG Neumann Goretti (Team Final) 2024
Wright III was a standout for Team Final as he was in complete control of the offense. The 6’1 guard has a tight handle, which he used to get by his defender and finish around the basket. Wright III made solid passes throughout the game as he was able to find his teammates in good spots in the half court. He was not rattled by on-ball pressure and moved his feet on the defensive end. Wright III is a talented lead guard prospect who should continue to put up big games this July.
