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.
First Team
Nicola Mitarotonda (2020) | Becton: 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.
Kunga Tsering Kunga Tsering 6'6" | SF Woodstock Academy | 2022 State NLG (2021) | Hasbrouck Heights: 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.
Jamling Lama Jamling Lama 6'0" | PG Secaucus | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Secaucus: 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.
Asim Jones Asim Jones 6'3" | SG Paterson Charter | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Manchester Regional: Jones burst onto the scene as a sophomore for Manchester Regional. He led the team scoring 14.9 points per game and played his best when the lights were brightest. Jones was the team’s No. 1 option and will continue to be over the course of his next two years.
David Mager David Mager 6'3" | SG Dwight-Englewood | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Dwight-Englewood: Mager is another sophomore who showed up and emerged as a star. He led Dwight-Englewood in scoring with 18 points per game. He is a true scorer who can get it done in many ways.
Second Team
Jashair Rosa (2022) | Manchester Regional: This team is in good shape for the future with their pair of star in the Class of 2022. Rosa is a do-it-all point guard who can score or dish.
Connor Cyran Connor Cyran 6'2" | SF Saddle River Day | 2020 State NJ (2020) | Saddle Day River: Cyran did what he does best during his final season. That is score. He averaged 15.8 points per game this season.
David Luberoff (2022) | Midland Park: Luberoff put up 19 points per game for Midland Park this season. He was a player who proved that he could take over games at an early age.
Kristian Radovich (2020) | Cresskill: Radovich had a nice final season at Cresskill scoring 16.6 points per contest to lead the team.
Zach Cook (2021) | Garfield: Cook began to emerge this season and he will fully arrive as a senior. Garfield’s No. 1 option averaged 12.3 points this season and that number will rise in 2020-2021.
