Points: Maurice Odum Maurice Odum 6'1" | PG West Oaks | 2022 State FL | Union City
Odum is the perfect player to start with. He led the entire state of New Jersey in scoring with 736 points for an average of 27.3 per game. And he did it as a sophomore. Odum was clearly a scorer from anywhere on the floor. He knocked down 86 three’s and finished the season with 157 made free throws, which also led the sophomore class. Odum will continue to do great things in New Jersey and might even end up in a couple record books.
Rebounds: Chase Clarke Chase Clarke 6'5" | SF Newark Academy | 2022 State NJ | Newark Academy
Clarke set the tone for his sophomore season immediately. In the opening game of the season, Clarke finished with 32 points and 21 rebounds in a win over Arts. He finished with 330 total rebounds for an average of 13.2 per game. This led the sophomore class and was good for eighth in the state.
Assists: Ethan Laquindanum | Belleville
Laquindanum quickly made a name for himself as one of the top passers in the state. He finished seventh in the state in assists with 6.7 per game. He had four games in double-digits including a 13 assists performance in a win over Abundant Life.
Steals: Savion Pressley | Wardlaw-Hartidge
Pressley was a complete thief on the perimeter. It is important to note that Wardlaw had two players in the top four in the state in steals. Mehkai Huey joins Pressley in the rankings. Pressley led the state in steals with 161 and 6.7 per game. He is a duel-threat player that can score at all three levels. His work on the defensive end speaks for itself. He has quick hands and great instincts as an on ball defender.
Blocks: Marc Cosmeus | Technology
Cosmeus finished ninth in the state with 3.3 blocks per game. The 6’6 forward showed great instincts on the defensive end and was a true rim protector. His work led the Class of 2022 and he will look to do the same as a junior.
Three-Pointers: Jake Green | Cherry Hill East
Cherry Hill East was full of shooters all over the floor. None better than Green who led the Class of 2022 and the state in made three’s with 102 on the year. He set a season-high with eight makes in a win over Woodrow Wilson. Green averaged over three makes from deep per game. He has a chance to put up historic numbers from deep over his final two years.
