Adam Silas Adam Silas 6'2" | CG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State NJ , 6’2 St. Thomas Aquinas 2022
Silas has a chance to have a big July with the NY Jayhawks as he gets to show his versatility. The 6’2 guard plays with composure on the ball and is not fazed by on-ball pressure. Silas has a good handle which he uses to get into the lane and finish in a variety of ways. He moves his feet well on the defensive end and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. Silas is a gritty guard prospect whose ability to run the offense will help his stock this month.
Sebastian Robinson Sebastian Robinson 6'2" | CG Roselle Catholic | 2023 State NJ , 6’3 Elizabeth 2023
Robinson is slated to have a big month with the NJ Legacy as he will be able to put his game on full display. The 6’3 guard is at his best going downhill as he is a crafty finisher around the rim and does not mind drawing contact. Robinson has a nice handle and is capable of running the offense in a pinch. He is a strong rebounder and can defend both guard spots. Robinson’s ability to make plays in multiple ways is something that will help his game in Peach Jam and the rest of July.
Samir Thomas Samir Thomas 6'3" | CG Patrick School | 2024 State NJ , 6’3 Gill St. Bernard’s 2024
Thomas is part of a loaded PSA Cardinals backcourt, but he should still be able to make an impact at Peach Jam. The 6’3 guard attacks the basket with a purpose and is a good finisher around the rim. Thomas moves well within the flow of the offense as he has the ability to play on and off the ball. He is an underrated shooter and uses his length to make plays on the defensive end. Thomas’ versatility is something that will help his game in a big way as July passes by.
Omarion Jett-Dobbs Omarion Jett-Dobbs 6'2" | CG St. Benedict's | 2022 State NJ , 6’2 St. Benedict’s 2022
Jett-Dobbs’ stock is on the rise and it should only go by as he suits up for the NJ Beasts this month. The 6’2 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get into the lane and finish around the basket. Jett-Dobbs is unafraid of drawing contact on his way to the basket and is an underrated shooter from distance. He is a tough on-ball defender and rarely makes poor decisions with the ball in his hands. Jett-Dobbs’ ability to make plays on both ends of the floor is something that will help him in a big way this July.
Jeremy Clayville Jeremy Clayville 6'1" | CG St. Joe's Metuchen | 2024 State NJ , 6’0 DePaul Catholic 2024
Clayville had a big-time debut varsity season and should have a strong July with All-In. The 6’0 guard has a lightning-quick release on his jumper and his range starts once he crosses half court. Clayville is more than just a shooter as he can get into the lane and finish around the basket. He can run the offense effectively and is an underrated passer. Clayville’s ability to make good decisions combined with his shooting is key for him as the month plays out.
