Continue ReadingThe 2022 updated rankings are officially here with the start of the spring AAU season on the way. The 2021 season was a breakout season for some prospects as they were able to shoot up the rankings. Here are the top stock-risers from the updated 2022 rankings.
Brady Muller Brady Muller 6'4" | SG Blair Academy | 2022 State NJ , 6’4 SG Blair Academy
The Buccaneers may have been in a bubble for the 2021 season, which makes Muller’s jump up the board even more impressive. The 6’4 guard had the biggest rise of any prospect on the board as he climbed over 100 rankings. Muller has a nice release on his jumper and moves well off the ball. He is a solid rebounder and his motor doesn’t stop on either end. Muller picked up a D1 offer from Bucknell about a week ago and it could be the first of more to come.
Sean Logan Sean Logan 6'10" | PF Westfield | 2022 State NJ , 6’9 PF Westfield
Logan had a breakout 2021 campaign as he established himself as one of the top big men in the state. The lanky 6’9 forward has a nice touch around the basket and is comfortable playing on the perimeter. Logan’s range extends past the three-point line and shoots free throws at a good clip. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to block shots around the basket. Logan is just starting to scratch the surface of his game as he has the potential for a monster senior season.
Adam Silas Adam Silas 6'2" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State NJ , 6’2 CG St. Thomas Aquinas
The Trojans needed someone to step up in the back court and Silas did that in a big way this season. The Marist transfer has a good handle as he is capable of beating his defender off the bounce and getting to the rim. Silas is more than just a slasher as he can knock down jumpers from distance and plays with poise when the ball is in his hands. He is capable of playing both guard spots and is an underrated defender. Silas and Jaquan Harris Jaquan Harris 6'4" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State #164 Nation NJ create a guard duo that should terrorize GMC backcourts all season long.
Andrew Ball Andrew Ball 6'8" | SF Shawnee | 2022 State NJ , 6’8 SF Shawnee
Ball is an intriguing prospect as his skillset allows him to do many things at the next level. The 6’8 wing has a smooth shooting stroke and uses his size to get his shot off over smaller defenders. Ball is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He is an underrated rebounder and his length allows him to defend multiple positions. Ball picked up a D1 offer from Bucknell right after the season ended and his recruitment should tick up during the spring and summer circuits.
Jaden Arline Jaden Arline 5'11" | PG Paul VI | 2022 State NJ , 5’11 PG Paul VI
The Eagles were one of the top teams in South Jersey all season long and Arline played a role in that. The 5’11 guard is a tenacious on-ball defender as he moves his feet exceptionally well and plays with very quick hands. Arline has a nice handle and does not mind drawing contact on his way to the rim. He has a good release on his jumper and does not force the issue in the half court. Arline will be the go-to guy for Paul VI in 2021-22, which will increase his stock even more.
Other Prospects to Watch:
Elijah Lewis Elijah Lewis 6'3" | CG Watchung Hills | 2022 State NJ , 6’3 CG Watchung Hills
Braxton Jones Braxton Jones 6'0" | PG Roselle Catholic | 2022 State NJ , 6’0 PG Trenton Catholic
Jack Seidler Jack Seidler 6'5" | SF Marlboro | 2022 State NJ , 6’5 SF Marlboro
Luke Braaten Luke Braaten 6'7" | PF Brick Memorial | 2022 State NJ , 6’7 PF Brick Memorial
Nicholas (Niko) Barnes Nicholas (Niko) Barnes 6'4" | CG Compass Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’4 CG Edison
