The 5'10 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender and can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. Baldwin can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He is an underrated passer and slides his feet on the defensive end. Baldwin is a shifty guard prospect who should put his creativity on display throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2974276' first='Maverick' last='Francisco'], 5'9 Saddle River Day</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Francisco has the potential to make an immediate impact for the Rebels with his ability to stretch the floor. The 5'9 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Francisco can also play off the ball as he moves well without the ball in his hands. He can find his open teammates in the half court and can get deflections on the defensive end. Francisco is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194733' first='Naziel' last='Hilario'], 5'10 St. Benedict's</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hilario has the ability to make an immediate impact for the Gray Bees with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 5'10 guard has a quick first step, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and is a good finisher around the rim. Hilario is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He pushes the pace well in transition and is an underrated defender. Hilario's ability to run the offense effectively will help his development throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884521' first='Bryce' last='McCray'], 5'8 Seton Hall Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCray joins a talented Pirates backcourt, but should still make his impact felt in his debut varsity season. The 5'8 guard plays with composure on the ball as he rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure and knows how to get to his spot on the floor. McCray has a nice touch on his floater and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. He has a good release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc. McCray is a talented guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2873649' first='BJ' last='Williams'], 6'2 Gloucester Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams joins a young Rams squad that is looking to make noise this season. The 6'2 guard uses his size to see over his defender and can find his open teammates in the half court. Williams finishes well around the rim and moves well without the ball in his hands. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Williams is a lanky guard prospect who should make an impact at both ends throughout the season for Gloucester Catholic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
