Aaron Bradshaw Aaron Bradshaw 7'0" | PF Camden | 2023 State #10 Nation NJ , 7’0 PF Camden 2023
Bradshaw has been playing at a high level for the NJ Scholars at Peach Jam and it should continue over the weekend. The 7’0 forward runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy baskets around the rim. Bradshaw has a good face-up game as his range extends past the three-point line and is comfortable putting the ball on the floor. He uses his length well on the defensive end to block and altar shots. Bradshaw is a talented power forward prospect who should continue to turn heads over the course of the weekend.
James Moore James Moore 6'9" | PF Olympus Prep | 2024 State #237 Nation NJ , 6’9 SF/PF Patrick School 2024
Moore is playing up for the 16U NY Rens team at Peach Jam, but should still have an opportunity to make his mark at Peach Jam. The 6’9 forward has a good handle which he uses to beat his defender off the dribble and get to the rim. Moore is more than just a slasher as he can also step behind the arc and knock down triples. His athleticism gives him the ability to defend multiple positions on the floor and is a solid shot-blocker. Moore is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential and should look to capitalize on it this weekend.
Joe Carroll Joe Carroll 6'7" | SF Blair Academy | 2022 State NJ , 6’7 SF/PF Blair Academy 2022
Carroll has been a steady presence for the Jersey Force over the course of the AAU season and it should continue this weekend. The 6’7 forward has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Carroll has an underrated handle and does not mind drawing contact. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and rarely turns the ball over in the half court. Carroll’s ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock in a big way this weekend.
Landon Shivers Landon Shivers 6'8" | PF Life Center Academy | 2022 State NJ , 6’8 PF Life Center Academy 2022
Shivers is looking for a breakout weekend with Team Final Black and it could happen this weekend. The 6’8 forward runs the floor hard and knows how to finish around the basket. Shivers can also knock down jumpers in the mid-range and has a nice touch close to the rim. He is a strong rebounder and is an underrated shot-blocker. Shivers has the talent to have a big weekend and is looking to capitalize on that in Atlantic City.
Terry Copeland Terry Copeland 6'8" | PF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC , 6’8 PF Bergen Catholic 2024
Copeland is the anchor down low for the PSA Cardinals and should continue to do so at Peach Jam this weekend. The 6’8 forward has a strong frame which he uses to get position down low and draw contact. Copeland is a tremendous passer as he can pass out of the double team or start the break with a nice outlet. He is a force on the glass at both ends and is a good post defender. Copeland’s passing combined with his toughness and skill gives him the opportunity to make a big impact this weekend.
