Top Performers


Tyler Hawkins Guard (NJ Shore Shots)- Hawkins is a point guard that sees the floor well and dribbles his way out of trouble. His high basketball IQ and court awareness is very noticeable. He showed the ability to take over the game which pushed NJSS ahead to stay.

Devin Jensen Guard (NJ Shore Shots)- Jensen is a hard nose guard that can shoot the outside shot. His form and touch from the perimeter is something to watch as he led the team in scoring. Keep an eye out for him.

Dymar Holland Guard (NJ Shore Shots)- Holland is a strong guard that did a good job on defense and got out in transition on the offensive end. He has basketball genes and should progress into a pretty good player.

Azeon Huntley Guard (AP Rec.)- Huntley is a flashy guard that beat defenders off the dribble. He protects the ball well and knows his way around the floor. His driving ability is something to watch at times.


Barry Brown Guard (AP Rec.)- Brown didn’t score the ball well but I like is point guard skills. He dribbles with his head up and knows how to pick his spots. Asbury Park might have another nice guard on the horizon soon.

Dante Abrams Forward (AP Rec.)- Abrams is an athletic forward that plays with a lot of energy. He scored most of his points on drives and in transition. This kid runs the floor well but must remember to keep his emotions intact.
