1. Jaquan Harris Jaquan Harris 6'4" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State #164 Nation NJ (2022) | St. Thomas Aquinas: The Trojans have the top shooting guard in the state. Harris transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas and immediately made an impact. He is a scorer at all three levels and has great athleticism at 6’4.
2. Simeon Wilcher Simeon Wilcher 6'4" | PG Roselle Catholic | 2023 State #17 Nation NJ (2023) | Roselle Catholic: Wilcher landed as the No. 8 player in the Class of 2023 nationally, according to ESPN. And for good reason. He can play with or without the ball in his hands. He is an incredible leaper and can defend anyone on the perimeter.
3. Otega Oweh Otega Oweh 6'4" | SG Blair Academy | 2022 State #91 Nation NJ (2022) | Blair: Oweh will be at Blair after spending two years at Rutgers Prep. The 6’3 guard was one of the top shooters in the state this season. He has unlimited range and can score in the lane as well. Oweh is a true duel-threat player.
4. Kyle Cuffee Jr. Kyle Cuffee Jr. 6'2" | CG Blair Academy | 2021 #161 Nation NJ (2022) | Blair: Cuffee has quickly rose to the top of New Jersey. The 6’1 guard can handle the ball in the half court of play on the perimeter. He uses his quickness and burst to get past defenders and score around the rim.
5. Amar’e Marshall Amar’e Marshall 6'2" | PG Roselle Catholic | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Montclair Immaculate: Marshall burst onto the scene as a junior and created one of the top backcourts with Zion Bethea Zion Bethea 6'3" | PG Montcalir Immaculate | 2020 State #393 Nation NJ . With Bethea gone, Marshall will have to step up and be the No. 1 option.
6. Keon Sabb (2022) | Williamstown: Sabb is arguably the top all-around athlete in New Jersey. He is one of the top football players in the Class of 2022 and now is one of the top shooting guards. After transferring from Glassboro, Sabb played 16 games as a sophomore and averaged 21.2 points per game.
7. Elijah Perkins Elijah Perkins 6'4" | CG Camden | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Ranney: Perkins is continuing the athletic excellence at Ranney that we have seen over the recent years. He is doing so by using his 6’3 frame to overpower defenders.
8. Rayshawn Ford Rayshawn Ford 6'2" | SG St. Peter's Prep | 2021 State NJ (2021) | St. Peter’s Prep: Ford emerged as a dominant scorer and finisher for St. Peter’s Prep. He compliments the play of Mark Armstrong Mark Armstrong 6'2" | PG St. Peter's Prep | 2022 State #39 Nation NJ well and that is something that the team needs. He will be back for one more year and will continue to grow his game.
9. Daniel Skillings Daniel Skillings 6'5" | SG Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA (2022) | St. Joe’s (Hamm.): Skillings is one of the hidden gems in Jersey. And he should not be. At 6’5, Skillings can do it all. He runs the floor well and can defend all five positions. He took over many games on the offensive end and on the boards.
10. Justin Glover Justin Glover 6'2" | SG Hudson Catholic | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Hudson Catholic: With Zion Cruz transferring, this leaves Glover as one of the best options to take over the leadership role. He is a midrange player that can venture out further if needed.
