Aaron Bradshaw Aaron Bradshaw 7'0" | PF Camden | 2023 State #10 Nation NJ , 7’0 PF Camden
Bradshaw is one of the most talented players in the class and is a huge addition to the Panthers’ loaded roster. The Roselle Catholic transfer has a good face-up game and can handle the ball on the perimeter. Bradshaw has a good release on his jumper and has a nice touch around the basket. He uses his size and length to swat shots around the basket and is one of the top shot-blockers in the class. Bradshaw is a talented stretch four who should have a big debut season for Camden.
Cornelius Robinson Cornelius Robinson 6'6" | SF Camden | 2023 State #253 Nation NJ , 6’6 SF Camden
The second straight Panther on the list, Robinson is ready for a breakout season. The 6’6 forward plays with energy at both ends of the floor and his motor does not stop. Robinson attacks the basket with a purpose and uses his strong frame to finish through contact. He can handle the ball on the perimeter and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Robinson is a tough forward prospect who will Camden maintain its status as the top team in the state.
Carson Howard Carson Howard 6'7" | PF Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA , 6’7 PF Lacey
Howard was one of the top freshmen in the Shore Conference last season and will lead the Lions’ offense again this season. The 6’7 forward has a good touch around the basket and knows how to get position down low. Howard has a nice release on his jumper and is working on his range. He is a tough rebounder around the basket and is one of the better post defenders in the class. Howard is a skilled forward prospect who should be the go-to guy again for Lacey in 2020-21.
Devon Theophile Devon Theophile 6'5" | PF St. Joseph Academy | 2023 State NJ , 6’5 PF St. Joseph Academy/Winslow
Theophile may be on the move, but he should still have an impact down low. The 6’5 forward knows how to get position down low and uses his strong frame to draw contact. Theophile is a good finisher around the basket and can knock down jumpers in the midrange. He holds his ground well on the defensive end and is an underrated shot-blocker. Theophile is one of the more under the radar forwards in South Jersey and should have a big sophomore campaign.
Ethan Gross Ethan Gross 6'7" | PF Hun School of Princeton | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 PF Hun
Gross is a lanky power forward prospect who should get more looks down low for Hun. The 6’7 forward can handle the ball on the perimeter and beat his man off the bounce. Gross plays with good footwork down low and is able to draw contact with consistency down low. He uses his length to altar shots on the defensive end and fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Gross took big steps this summer and is ready for an expanded role in Hun’s offense this season.
