Scotty Middleton Scotty Middleton 6'7" | SF Sunrise Christian | 2023 #50 Nation KS , 6’7 SF Patrick School
The Celtics were loaded with talent, but Middleton was still able to make his mark this season. The Florida native can handle the ball on the perimeter and is a good finisher above the rim. Middleton has a nice release on his jumper and moves well off the ball. He is a versatile defender as his combination of size, length and athleticism allows him to defend multiple positions on the floor.
Christian Pierre-Louis Christian Pierre-Louis 6'2" | SG Roselle Catholic | 2023 State NJ , 6’2 SG Roselle Catholic
Pierre-Louis was able to carve out a role for himself, even in a loaded Lions’ backcourt. The 6’2 guard is a tenacious defender who is unafraid to stick his nose in against taller opponents. Pierre-Louis has a good handle and knows how to finish around the basket. He moves well without the ball and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. Pierre-Louis is a hard-working guard who will only continue to get better as his career progresses.
Charles Ekotto Nelle Charles Ekotto Nelle 6'7" | SF Olympus Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’6 SF/PF Olympus Prep
Nelle had one of the biggest jumps in the rankings as he rose more than 30 spots in the rankings. The 6’6 forward has a strong frame which he uses to get position and finish around the basket. Nelle is also a good passer as he is able to pass out of the post and on the perimeter. He is an underrated shot-blocker and is a strong rebounder on both ends of the floor. Nelle is one of the more underrated forward prospects in the class and his stock is only going higher.
Jordan Atkins Jordan Atkins 6'0" | PG Rutgers Prep | 2023 State NJ , 5’10 PG Rutgers Prep
Atkins may not be the most well-known guard on the Rutgers Prep roster, but do not sleep on him. The 5’10 guard is lightning quick with the ball in his hands and knows how to push the pace in transition. Atkins has a nice handle and is a crafty finisher around the basket. He plays with quick hands on the defensive end and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Atkins is part of a talented 2023 guard group for Rutgers Prep who should make noise throughout the rest of their high school career.
DJ Germann DJ Germann 5'11" | PG Egg Harbor | 2023 State NJ , 5’11 PG Egg Harbor
The Eagles were one of the top teams in South Jersey this season and the emergence of Germann in the back court is a big reason why. The 5’11 guard has a good handle and is tough to keep out of the lane. Germann is always playing with his head up in the half court and is capable of putting up points in bunches. He is a good on-ball defender and has a good chemistry with lead guard Carlos Lopez Carlos Lopez 6'0" | PG Egg Harbor Twp | 2023 FL . Germann is one of the more underrated players in South Jersey and is ready for a big junior campaign.
