He's a player that has it all. He can score in a variety of ways, he grinds on defense, and he involves his teammates well. Heading to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Ndjigue is a high-level New England prospect that should be placed in the best of the best.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63221ff413f85","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1203910"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762b0f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCreesh skyrocketed up the rankings when I went through and did them. Now, he finds himself at 23rd. The Bucknell-commit is a highly-talented prospect that is lengthy and athletic. He's flashed an amazing all-around game that's full of talent. McCreesh is going to make a lot of noise with the Bison, and that was enough to warrent a top-30 placement.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63221fdd13f84","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1081812"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762b3e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carey is a well-rounded player, on and off the court. He's a high IQ, talented prospect that's heading to Maine to play for the Black Bears. He's skilled offensively, as he can shoot it from the outside and score on the inside. He's a player that's flown under the radar, but no more. Carey is impressive, he's talented. That's why I have him 34th.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63221fbe13f83","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1477887"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762b58"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones was ranked in the 100's. Yeah, the 100's. The Davidson-commit is one of the best shooters I've witnessed in the class. And the combination of skill and pure length is high-level stuff. All of Jones' combinations and talents land him much higher on the updated rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63221f9613f82","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1477891"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762b6e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Laczkowski is a 6'10" forward that's a weapon on the offensive end. The combination of length and shooting tough is truly, truly special. And, it's that combination that gets Laczkowski a top-50 ranking. He's great from 3-point territory but he also has soft touch and excellent footwork closer to the basket. There's a lot of room to improve for Laczkowski, which is even more scary.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6322216713f87","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1477947"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762b84"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While uncommitted, Watts is a player that's highly-talented and he's been getting offers from programs left and right. Watts can shoot the basketball, and he does it at a very high level. He's an elite scorer that's super creative and super crafty. Watts was in the 100's before the update, and now, he's right where he's supposed to be with plenty of room to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6322220013f88","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1204264"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762b9a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Similar to other lengthy, athletic shooters on this list, Franks had an impressive Spring and Summer that really catapulted his stock. He's a tall, athletic, elite shooter that's a fluid-moving player. He's super creative, and the offensive capabilities are great. Playing at a stacked Brewster Academy program, Franks will be one of the program's top shooters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63222e3113f8a","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1585145"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762bb0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderon's length and scoring ability land him well within the top-100 of the New England updated 2023 rankings. He's a tall small forward that's able to easily put the ball in the basket. He can score at will, and he can score in bunches. The long wingspan and excellent footwork also make Anderson a forced to be reckoned with defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63222f7113f8b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1585148"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762bc6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peterson electrified the circuit while playing with Rise Above Basketball this summer. He showcased his off-the-charts shooting and scoring ability. He put up absurd numbers, and he'll probably continue rising up with the ranks with another solid year at Hanover. Peterson isn't a household name just yet, but he will be very soon. The 83rd-ranked player in the region is going to impress a lot of people.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6322314513f8c","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1204295"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6494de2762bda"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is a strong, physical 6'10" force that'll be playing for Northfield Mount Hermon this upcoming season. He's received offers from fairly notable programs, including Rutgers. Johnson is a backdown, back-to-the-basket player that imposes his will against smaller defenders. He's athletic, and an elite defender. Now that he's on a more notable stage with Northfield Mount Hermon, expect major leaps and bounds from Johnson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
