Michael Van Raaphorst Michael Van Raaphorst 6'3" | SG Delbarton | 2024 State NJ | 6’3” | G | Delbarton 2024
A smooth shooting guard who can pull up on a dime but also runs the floor well and can finish at the hoop. He’s got a high basketball IQ and is active off the ball. He’s playing with the Unity Legends AAU team and has been to several elite camps. He’ll be a sought after guard the next two years. His stats weren’t “jump out of the gym” as a sophomore, but he’ll be expected to shoulder a much bigger load as a junior.
Mike Vaccaro | 6’1” | G | Delbarton
Another big bodied guard who returns for the Wave. He’s a good shooter from the outside, can fight under the basket with his muscular build and is a tough defender who isn’t afraid to take a charge. He had 15 vs Morris Catholic. He’ll also be asked to take an expanded role as a senior leader.
Julian Radossich | 6’4” | G | Delbarton
A three sport athlete who also excels in Lacrosse and Football. He brings a tough mindset to the floor. He’s a good shooter from the outside and an athletic presence in the paint. Tough defender who hits the floor and fights for loose balls. He had 21 vs Chatham and 15 vs Mendham.
Nick Modugno | 6’3” | G | Delbarton
The Wave have a host of talent returning from the “multi-sport” vein and Modugno is another. He’s a sought after specialist from the Delbarton football team who also brings the toughness mindset to the floor. He hits the boards well and can get points when called upon. He had 11 vs DePaul in states and a nice game vs Chatham(8pts&12reb) as a junior. He, like the rest, will be given expanded roles as a senior.
