Continue ReadingThere are three sections of New Jersey. Of Course North and South are the larger of the three, but there is a small section right in the middle. Central Jersey has been labeled it’s own section and rightfully so. There are plenty of basketball schools near the middle of the state. Here are the top shooters from Central Jersey.
Brandon Pfeifer Brandon Pfeifer 6'0" | SG Allentown | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Allentown
Pfeifer was one of the top shooters in the state. He knocked down 71 three’s on the season and was second on Allentown in scoring. Pfeifer has a quick release and unlimited range. He did most of his work from beyond the arc but he is not limited to shooting. Opposing defenses must know where he is at all times.
Quadir Harrell Quadir Harrell 5'10" | PG Bound Brook | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Bound Brook
Harrell had a huge sophomore year. He stepped up as the No. 1 option on Bound Brook and that is no surprise when looking at his game. Harrell hit 69 three’s and also led his team with 110 free throws made. Harrell is a scorer at all three levels. He can get in the lane with ease and finish with contact to get some easy points at the line.
Jamaal Morris Jamaal Morris 5'10" | PG Trenton Catholic | 2022 NY (2022) | Burlington City
Burlington City won 27 games this season and Morris was a big reason why. He was second on the team with 16 points per game and was their top three-point shooter with 67 makes. Morris burst onto the scene as a sophomore and will now be featured as a top option on one of the better teams in the section.
Ben Roy Ben Roy 6'2" | PG Manasquan | 2022 State #218 Nation NJ (2022) | Manasquan
Manasquan was the top team in Central Jersey, top team in the Shore Conference, and one of the five best in New Jersey this season. Roy was named Shore Conference Player of the Year as a sophomore. He knocked down 54 three’s but was a scorer from all over the floor. He could penetrate to get inside, pull up off the dribble, or knock one down from deep. Roy is a Division I point guard and there will be some big time attention on him over the next two years.
Sam Fagan Sam Fagan 5'10" | PG Neptune | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Neptune
Fagan is one of the most underrated players in the state. Neptune was No. 7 in their state sectional bracket and Fagan led them all the way to the finals aided by a 40-point performance in the semis. Fagan is a shifty point guard with the ball in his hands but has one of the quicker releases you will see. He is a true marksman from outside.
Geoffrey Schoeder (2022) | Rumson-Fair Haven
There are plenty of strong players in the Class of 2022 in the Shore Conference and Schoeder fits that bill. The top shooter on Rumson hit 51 three’s. Schoeder also thrived at getting inside and drawing contact. No matter where he was on the floor, defenses had to have a hand up.
Pat Lacey Pat Lacey 6'1" | SG Wall | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Wall
Lacey took a huge step this season for Wall. He was the team’s second leading scorer and three-point shooter behind senior Quinn Calabrese Quinn Calabrese 6'3" | SG Wall | 2020 State NJ . Lacey took over plenty of games on the offensive end. Wall will continue to be a threat next season with Lacey running the show. He is an elite spot up shooter and knows how to use a pump fake to get a defender in the air and blow by them.
