<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456866' first='Ron' last='Richardson'], 6'4 Ocean Township</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Richardson has the potential to play either the three or the four, making him a prospect to watch in the Shore Conference. The 6'4 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and can finish through contact. Richardson has a nice touch around the basket and can also score in the mid-range. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. Richardson is a gritty forward prospect who should have a strong 2023-24 season.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456844' first='Jalen' last='Fleming'], 6'4 Timothy Christian</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fleming had a solid summer and is looking to carry it over into the winter. The 6'4 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he finishes well around the basket and is unafraid of contact. Fleming can also score in the mid-range and uses his size to see over his defender. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is a strong rebounder. Fleming is a lanky wing prospect who will be one to watch in the GMC.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1943555' first='Quinn' last='Gibson'], 6'4 Cherry Hill West</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gibson has the potential to have a big junior season as the ball should be in his hands more. The 6'4 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Gibson moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He is unselfish with the ball in his hands and is an underrated defender. Gibson's ability to knock down jumpers from distance is something that will help his stock in a big way this season.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1775124' first='Andrew' last='Park'], 6'6 Blair Academy</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Park will be a prospect to follow in the 2025 class with his ability to knock down jumpers from distance. The 6'6 wing has a clean shooting stroke and knocks down triples in bunches. Park has an underrated handle as he can put the ball on the floor and finishes nicely around the basket. He rarely forces shots in the half court and uses his size to make an impact on the defensive end. Park is a sharpshooting wing prospect whose ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his game throughout the season.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1853418' first='Jahi' last='Whitney'], 6'4 Montclair</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Whitney led the Mounties in scoring last season and should do it again next season. The 6'4 wing attacks the basket strong as he is a good finisher around the basket and can draw contact in the paint. Whitney knows how to get to his spot on the floor and can knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Whitney has the potential to put up big scoring numbers this season with his ability to get to the rim and finish.</p>
