2023 Forwards who Could Rise up the Rankings This Summer

<p>The summer season is here as school is winding down across the Garden State. Prospects are looking to showcase their talents in front of coaches, trying to boost their stocks. Here are the 2023 forwards who could rise up the rankings this summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1401566" first="Precise" last="Clark"], 6'8 PF Paramus Catholic</strong></p> <p>Clark had a solid showing for the East Coast Rivals at the Hoop Group Jersey Shore Jam Fest and is looking to carry over that success into the summer. The 6'8 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and draw contact. Clark is capable of finishing around the basket and sets good screens in the half court. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Clark is a physical forward prospect who does not mind mixing it up down low.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1470873" first="Dorian" last="Alston"], 6'5 SF Brick Memorial</strong></p> <p>Alson is an intriguing prospect to watch as he can impact the game in a variety of ways. The 6'5 wing has a nice release on his jumper and his range extends out past the three-point line. Alston is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He is an underrated passer and has the length to defend multiple positions. Alston is a lanky wing prospect who should have a strong summer for the NJ Shore Shots.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1016742" first="Jahmir" last="Payoute"], 6'5 SF/PF Snyder</strong></p> <p>Payoute made plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078574' first='NJ' last='Bulldogs'] during the Hoop Group Jersey Shore Jam Fest and will look to continue to do so this summer. The 6'5 forward can finish strong above the rim and can draw contact in the paint. Payoute can knock down open jumpers from the perimeter, showing nice potential to be effective in pick-and-pop situations. He is a solid rebounder and uses his length to influence shots on the defensive end. Payoute's ability to hit jumpers will be key to his stock rising this summer.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1150273" first="Robert" last="Eaves"], 6'5 PF Hightstown</strong></p> <p>Eaves has the potential to have a breakout summer for the NJ Shore Shots Mercer with his versatility in the post. The 6'5 forward plays with good footwork down low, allowing him to score nicely in the paint and draw contact. Eaves is a good passer out of the post and has an underrated handle. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and works hard on the defensive end. Eaves is a skilled forward prospect who should have a big summer season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1269775" first="Ebrahim" last="Kaba"], 6'5 SF East Orange Campus</strong></p> <p>Kaba is an interesting wing to watch for the NJ Roadrunners with his ability to make plays on the perimeter. The 6'5 wing has a good shooting stroke and can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. Kaba moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups. He has a solid handle and has the length to defend multiple positions. Kaba's shooting combined with his defense and rebounding makes him a prospect with the potential to move up the rankings this summer.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></span></p> <p><strong>Ryan Lesauskas, 6'4 SF Chatham</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1206526" first="Anthony" last="Aririguzoh"], 6'6 PF Hun</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1017191" first="Jake" last="Croce"], 6'5 SF Notre Dame</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1083344" first="Ifeoluwa" last="Okebiorun"], 6'6 PF St. Augustine</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1402099" first="Davis" last="Adams"], 6'4 SF Immaculata</strong></p>
