The wing group is especially ready as they get a chance to showcase their diverse skillset. Here are the Garden State wing prospects who could rise their stocks over the course of the weekend.
Chase Clarke Chase Clarke 6'5" | SF Newark Academy | 2022 State NJ , 6’5 SF Newark Academy 2022
Clarke has had a good AAU season with Unity Legends and has the opportunity to end it on a high note at Atlantic City. The 6’5 wing has a strong frame which he uses to finish through contact around the basket. Clarke likes to finish above the rim with authority and can also knock down open jumpers from the perimeter. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the ability to defend multiple positions on the floor. Clarke is an athletic wing prospect who has the potential to have a big weekend at the Jersey Shore Jam Fest this weekend.
Akil Watson Akil Watson 6'7" | SF Roselle Catholic | 2023 State #105 Nation NJ , 6’7 SF Don Bosco Prep 2023
Watson is ready for a big final week at Peach Jam with New Heights Lightning as he gets to showcase his total skillset. The 6’7 wing has a nice handle which he uses to get to the basket and can score around the rim in multiple ways. Watson is more than just a slasher as he has a clean release on his jumper as he does not waste a lot of motion in his shot. He is an underrated passer and uses his length to make a difference on the defensive end. Watson is a talented wing prospect who is looking for a strong end weekend in North Augusta.
Philip Unangst Philip Unangst 6'6" | SF Hillsborough | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 SF St. Thomas Aquinas 2024
Unangst has been playing at a high level for the Hilltoppers this season and it should continue this weekend. The lanky 6’6 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he can finish in a variety of ways and does not mind drawing contact. Unangst can also step behind the arc and knock down perimeter jumpers. He is a strong rebounder and his length gives him the ability to defend down low. Unangst is looking for a big weekend and should have one as he gets to show off his all-around skillset.
Pat Rogers Pat Rogers 6'6" | SF Rutherford | 2022 State NJ , 6’6 SF Rutherford 2022
Rogers had a big weekend helping the NJ Panthers take home the 17U HGSL title and should continue to play at a high level at the Jersey Shore Jam Fest. The 6’6 wing has a good handle which he uses to get by his defender and finish around the basket. Rogers has a nice touch on his free throws and his range extends past the three-point line. He attacks the glass on both ends and is an underrated passer. Rogers is a skilled wing prospect who should continue to play well over the course of the weekend.
Dasear Haskins Dasear Haskins 6'8" | SF Camden | 2023 State NJ , 6’6 SF Camden 2023
Haskins is ready for a strong final weekend at Peach Jam with the NJ Scholars. The 6’6 lefty knows how to get to his spot on the floor and is a good finisher around the basket. Haskins is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down perimeter jumpers. He is an underrated rebounder and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Haskins is just scratching the surface of his potential and should display his talent in a big way this weekend.
