<p><em><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Photo by northjersey.com</span></em></p> <p>As we wind down on the boys’ side, we continue our All-Conference series with the NJIC. This conference had some of the better big men in the league. Games were won and lost on the boards throughout the season. Let’s take a look at the All-Conference selections from the NJIC.</p> <p><strong>First Team</strong></p> <p><strong>Nicola Mitarotonda (2020) | Becton: </strong>Mitarotonda is one of those dominant big men mentioned in the open. He was much more than that. Mitarotonda acted as the senior leader for Becton and was an all-around star. He averaged 19 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per contest. Mitarotonda did most of his scoring inside where Becton’s offense ran through.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900310" first="Kunga" last="Tsering"] (2021) | Hasbrouck Heights: </strong>The big men continue with Tsering. He was among the leaders in the state in total rebounds. He averaged 16.9 points and 12.4 rebounds per contest. A true force in the paint, Tsering made his presence known right from the opening tip of games.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900348" first="Jamling" last="Lama"] (2021) | Secaucus: </strong>Lama was among the top scorers in the conference with 19.6 points per game. He was an elite shooter from the outside who was not afraid to let it fly. Lama also made it a habit of getting to the free throw line.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="901971" first="Asim" last="Jones"] (2022) | Manchester Regional: </strong>Jones burst onto the scene as a sophomore for Manchester Regional.
