Prospect Spotlights
Kahjev Worrell — Richmond Hill | Senior
136 points | 145 rebounds
Worrell is carrying one of the heaviest workloads in the borough. He leads the league in both scoring and rebounding, showcasing a physical inside presence with a relentless motor. Despite Richmond Hill's record, his production suggests a high-volume finisher with a nose for the ball and toughness around the rim.
Projection: JUCO / D2 impact forward
Next Step: Improve efficiency, expand short-roll passing.
Dewane Joyner — Edison | Junior
100 points | 43 assists
Joyner has quietly become the engine behind Edison's undefeated start. The junior combo guard balances scoring with playmaking and thrives in structured offense. His assist numbers on a loaded roster speak to real floor-general instincts.
Projection: Mid-Major D1 / High Academic target
Why it works: Pace control, decision-making, two-way effort.
Ismael Toure — Edison | Sophomore
100 points | 29 assists
One of the youngest names among league leaders, Toure is already producing at a varsity level on the best team in Queens II. His presence as a scoring guard who can also facilitate makes him a long-term follow in the 2028 class.
Projection: Emerging Mid-Major prospect
Track: Must add strength + shot consistency.
Lenny Arias Pichardo — Lane | Junior
113 points | 44 assists
Pichardo's blend of scoring and distribution makes him one of the league's most complete juniors. He's a major reason Lane remains in striking distance of Edison.
