2027 Prospects To Know Ahead Of Fall Ball

With AAU tournaments and camp season now in the rearview, we shift our focus to September—when high school fall leagues and preseason showcases start to take the spotlight. As a packed schedule of games unfolds over the next few months leading into December, it's an ideal time to highlight some underrated prospects in the 2026 class who are aiming to boost their profile and gain more exposure this fall with their high school teams.    A strong and physically imposing big man that uses his strong frame and intimidating physicality to impact the game on the interior on both ends of the court. Boresa Jawula has an adequate back to the basket game that he uses to score the basketball in the low post. Jawula also possesses hints of being able to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim in his game. Defensively, Jawula also is an intimidating force around the basket as he constantly blocks and alters shot attempts at the rim.     An intriguing addition to this St. Joe's Metuchen backcourt, [player_tooltip player_id='2895818' first='Imaad' last='Johnson'] will look to provide steady and efficient offense at the guard position. Johnson has an extremely high release paired with good poise against ball pressure that he uses to get to his spots both in the mid range area and knock down outside shots from the perimeter.     A crafty scoring guard who has the ability to be creative off the bounce, fall ball should see Mouhamed Cisse showcase some of his on ball creativity and score the basketball in different ways. Possessing the ability to get downhill and finish around the basket paired with his ability to hit mid range pull up jumpers, Cisse should have some opportunities to demonstrate his scoring ability.     A welcoming addition to this East Orange backcourt transferring from St. Benedict's Prep, Will Dyer is expected to step into a floor general role that showcases his ability to be a reliable decision maker— using his excellent court vision to create advantageous scoring looks for others. Dyer has the ability to be a flashy passer who can make a handful of highlight passes throughout the course of any game.     A utility man that hangs his hat on doing the little things to impact winning, Abraham Desrosiers plays with a high level of toughness and an extremely high motor. Desrosiers plays much bigger than his size, guarding pretty much 1-5 and consistently crashing the glass to come down with rebounds. Offensively, Desrosiers is effective not only in the dunker spot but also as a roller in PnR, running the floor in transition, and a connective passer in the flow of Linden's offense.
