2024 Under the Radar Big North Prospects to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The New Year is here, meaning the hoops season is starting to pick up. The Big North is one of the toughest conferences in the Garden State and has prospects that should have strong seasons. Here are the 2024 under the radar Big North prospects to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1942195' first='Fred' last='Herbst'], 6'6 PF Dumont</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Herbst has been a force for the Huskies so far as he is averaging 21.5 points per game. The 6'6 forward has a nice touch around the basket and can finish through contact. Herbst has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Herbst has five 20-point games this season and should have even more as 2024 rolls on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407081' first='Evan' last='O'Reilly'], 6'3 SG Ridgewood</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>O'Reilly has been a good compliment to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411405' first='Johnny' last='Jackson']</strong> and has the potential to have a big 2024. The 6'3 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to the rim and can finish through contact. O'Reilly knows how to get to his spot on the floor and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He moves well without the ball in his hands and moves his feet on defense. O'Reilly's ability to score inside and out is something that will help his game in a big way this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gianni Moran, 5'10 PG Fair Lawn</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moran has been effective running the Cutters' offense this season and should continue to do so throughout the course of the season. The 5'10 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. Moran is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He threads passes to teammates in the halfcourt and can get deflections on defense. Moran has a pair of 10-assist games this season and should have more as 2024 progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273901' first='Brandin' last='Sbrnik'], 6'0 CG Demarest</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sbrnik has done a little bit of everything for the Norsemen this season as he's shown his versatility this season. The 6'0 guard plays with composure on the ball as he rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure and can get to his spot on the floor. Sbrnik can finish in a number of ways around the basket and is unafraid of drawing contact. He can find teammates in the halfcourt and is a strong rebounder for a guard. Sbrnik is a versatile guard prospect who should continue to make plays with the ball in his hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Logan Bahn, 6'5 C Ramsey</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bahn is the Rams' leading scorer this season and should continue to make plays down low. The 6'5 post uses his frame to get position down low and can finish through contact. Bahn has a nice release on his free throws and sets strong screens in the halfcourt. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and influences shots around the basket. Bahn poured in 31 points against West Milford and has the potential to do so again sometime during the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
