Here are the New Jersey forward prospects who could receive their first offer soon.
Jackson Tindall Jackson Tindall 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2024 NLG , 6’7 SF St. Peter’s Prep 2023
Tindall is a forward prospect to watch as he affects the game in a number of different ways. The 6’7 forward is comfortable playing on the perimeter as he has a nice release on his jumper and has an underrated handle. Tindall is a good finisher around the basket and draws contact down low. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the athleticism to defend multiple positions on the floor. Tindall is a two-way wing who should have a strong summer with Team Rio University.
Ian Imegwu Ian Imegwu 6'8" | PF Blair Academy | 2023 State NJ , 6’8 PF Blair Academy 2023
Imegwu has the potential to have a big summer with Team Rio University with his ability to stretch the floor. The 6’8 lefty has a good shooting stroke and is capable of knocking down jumpers in bunches. Imegwu uses his body well to get position down low and can finish through contact in the paint. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and holds his own on defense. Imegwu is a stretch-four prospect whose ability to hit shots from the perimeter will help his stock.
Jalen Pichardo Jalen Pichardo 6'6" | SF St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State NJ , 6’6 SF St. Thomas Aquinas 2023
Pichardo is a prospect to track in Central Jersey as he has the potential for a strong summer with the NJ Bulldogs . The 6’6 wing is at his best attacking the basket as he is a strong finisher around the rim and does not mind contact. Pichardo can also score in the mid-range and make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He is a strong rebounder and is a solid defender. Pichardo is a gritty forward prospect who does whatever it takes to help his team win.
Brandon Benjamin Brandon Benjamin 6'7" | PF St. Thomas More | 2025 State NLG , 6’7 PF Bergen Catholic 2024
Benjamin has the potential to breakout this summer as he makes an impact on both ends of the floor. The 6’7 forward plays with a motor that doesn’t stop and runs the floor in transition. Benjamin is a good finisher around the basket and is capable of drawing contact close to the paint. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and influences shots in the paint. Benjamin is a hard-working forward prospect who is only getting better.
David Munro David Munro 6'7" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State NJ , 6’7 PF Bergen Catholic 2025
Munro is set for a strong summer with the PSA Cardinals as he has the potential to make plays in June and July. The 6’7 forward has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and finish nicely around the basket. Munro sets good screens in the half court and moves well without the ball in his hands. He is a strong rebounder and is an underrated defender. Munro is a skilled forward prospect who should have a good summer with his ability to finish down low and play on the perimeter.
