New Jersey Top 250 Expo Players Who Showed Good upside

Here are 5 players from the New Jersey Top 250 Expo who showed a good upside. [player_tooltip player_id='583769' first='Debra' last='Hill'], HT 6'1, Position C, Class 2025, High School Pingry Debra really raised her stock this season and last summer. At the Expo she showed in one game how she can impact the game without scoring. She does have the abilities to score, and makes plays in many different areas of the court. She is a center who averaged a double double last season. Debra was physical, and fought hard in the post against the other centers at the event. She really fights hard for positioning. She also controls the glass, and is hard to stop on the rebounds. On defense she has a good interior presence, and played tough defense in the post. Debra is a college level player, with the potential to play at a division 1 program. [player_tooltip player_id='601408' first='Brooke' last='Harper'], Class 2026, HT 6'0, Position C, High School Lyndhurst Harper had a couple of breakout games last year as a freshman, including a triple double with 16 points, 18 rebounds, 8 blocks, and 11 steals. She is due for some more big performances this season. Harper is a 6'0 athletic Center, than can run the floor well. Her specialty is her defense, and that is what I saw at the expo. She is a very good shot blocker, with excellent timing. She does a good job playing down low with her hands up, without fouling. She also uses her length to get a bunch of deflections. Every coach wants a defensive specialist. Harper is mostly a true Center. One area she could improve in is her footwork and finishing skills down low on offense. She is a big who does a good job on the glass, and is physical boxing out. Harper is only a sophomore and is showing good upside with her game. [player_tooltip player_id='414323' first='Mia' last='Firdman'], High School Governor Livingston, HT 5'8, Class 2025, Position SG, Mia is a very good three point Shooter, and a solid three and D player. She was her teams leading three point shooter last season, and shot a high percentage from beyond the arc. At the the Expo I noticed her quick shot release, balanced shooting form, and how she spaces the floor. She is starting to be more aggressive and attack more off the dribble. When she does draw fouls, she shoots her foul shots at a high percentage. Every team needs shooters, so Mia is a valuable player. [player_tooltip player_id='601340' first='Sadie' last='Fleming'], High School Manville, Class 2026, HT 5'11, Position PF Fleming was one of the top rebounders at the Expo, and is one of the top rebounders in New Jersey. In her Freshman season, she had 3 games with over 20 rebounds. She gets good positioning when boxing out. She see's the ball off the rim and the backboard well, has good hands, and sometimes it looks like she just finds rebounds. Fleming showed flashes last season of her overall skill set, and she will look to improve on that this season. She is a rebounding specialist. [player_tooltip player_id='601336' first='Nikki' last='Costantini'], High School Hunterdon Central Regional, HT 5'8, Position SF, Class 2026, Nikki has good mix of an inside and out game. At the Expo she has a solid and efficient day. She was able to shoot from the outside, pull up from mid range, and had a nice face cut leading to her getting a layup. Nikki is able to handle the ball, and run the floor. Expect her to have bigger stat lines this year, with key seniors graduating from Hunterdon Central.
