The Fab 5

Here we look at 5 Freshman to watch this season in New Jersey. [player_tooltip player_id='651476' first='Avery' last='Barth'], HT 5'4, High School ST john Vinanney, Position G Avery is one of the toughest players in the state for her class. She is always looking to improve. She is a Guard, that has a very good pull up jumper, and outside shot. She can defend the full length of the court, and moves well Laterally. She can finish on both sides, and is not afraid to draw contact. Avery is very coachable, and I expect her to raise her stock each season. [player_tooltip player_id='651500' first='Isabella' last='Ruh'], HT 5'11, Position C, High School Hillsborough Ruh Shows good potential as a rim protector. She rebounds the ball and boxes out hard on offense and defense. She makes good outlet passes off the rebounds. She does a good job using her length to alter or block shots. There is definitely potential in Isabella's game. Katlyn Platt, High School Pope John, HT 5'9, Position SG Platt is a Guard with size. At 5'9 she can stretch the floor and knock down threes. She can play inside and out. She has good handles, and moves well. She can take players off the dribble, and create her own shot. Strong upside with her game. [player_tooltip player_id='651479' first='Noelle' last='Grady'], HT 5'6, Position G, High School Chatham Grady is a strong built Guard, and uses her strength to finish through contact. She boxes out hard, and also is a tough on ball defender. She could run the point at the high school level. Her game is still developing, but she will be a Freshman who will make an instant impact. [player_tooltip player_id='739542' first='Mairin' last='Fowler'], High School Westfield, HT 5'4, Position SG Fowler is a lefty knock down shooter. She can hit shots spot up, and off the dribble. She can also attack the close out and get to the rim. Fowler is a 3 and d player. One thing she could work on is using her right hand. Fowler plays with good energy, and is good out in transition. Fowler has a good amount of potential as she enters high school basketball.
