Jersey Sophomores Under The Radar

6-6 Atlantic City Sophomore Darnell Davis

Here’s a list second year players that are out for a little props.


Jamal Edwards (Pleasantville) 6-3 - The silky smooth Edwards is an athlete that can shoot the three. Jamal enjoys slashing and finishing at the hole. Edwards’s greatest asset might be his ability to lock in on defense.


Darnell Davis (Atlantic City) 6-6 – Big D as he is called is a heavy banger. He does the dirty while playing. Davis takes up a lot of space and finishes inside. Darnell should see major minutes this year for the Vikings, helping their guards get open looks.

Kyle Fitzgerald 6’5 Forward( Red Bank Regional) - Kyle is a multi-talented wing player. Fitzgerald shoots the three and has and above average handle. A trip to the weight room will do this sophomore some good. Some added muscle will make Kyle more willing to bang and finish off plays in the lane.

Rashawn Dwight 6’4 Guard ( Bloomfield Tech) - Ra Ra had an up and down freshmen year. Dwight received some significant minutes, but gave some see-saw results. The wiry wing showed flashes of greatness with dribble drives and extended finishes, and then on other plays he proved to be turnover prone. Look for a more steady campaign out of Rashawn.

Keith Jones 5’9 Guard (N. Burlington) - Last season Jones spent the majority of the year delivering the ball to Cedric Jackson. Now Keith must carry the load. The 5’10 lefty relies on a hesitation and crossover dribble to create space. Jones is a streaky shooter, when hot can hit 3 to 4 bombs in a row.
