The Bergen County Jamboree seeds were released yesterday, and it should be full of intrigue. Here are the top sleeper prospects to watch in the 2022 Bergen County Jamboree.
Isaiah Edmond Isaiah Edmond 6'2" | CG Don Bosco Prep | 2022 State NJ , 6’2 CG Don Bosco Prep 2022
The Ironmen were selected as the top seed in the Bergen County Jamboree and Edmond should make an impact on the perimeter. The 6’2 guard has a good handle which he uses to get into the lane and finish around the basket. Edmond makes good decisions with the ball in his hands and does not get rattled under pressure. He is a tough defender and is a strong rebounder. Edmond is a physical guard prospect who should continue to play at a high level for Don Bosco Prep during the Bergen County Jamboree.
Brandon Benjamin Brandon Benjamin 6'7" | PF St. Thomas More | 2025 State NLG , 6’7 PF Bergen Catholic 2024
Benjamin has played a big role for the Crusaders this season and should continue to play well for the second-seeded Crusaders. The 6’7 forward works hard to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Benjamin is an underrated passer and is developing his range on the offensive end. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length and athleticism to alter shots around the basket. Benjamin is a hard-working forward prospect who impacts the game in multiple ways at both ends of the floor.
Mason Piorkowski Mason Piorkowski 5'9" | PG Saint Joseph (Montvale) | 2023 State NJ , 5’8 PG St. Joseph (Mont.) 2023
Piorkowski is set for a big Bergen County Jamboree for the Green Knights with his ability to impact the game form distance. The 5’8 guard is a sniper from distance who is in range once he crosses half court and can get hot from deep in a hurry. Piorkowski is more than just a shooter as he also has a nice handle and can finish around the basket. He is an underrated defender and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. Piorkowski’s shooting will be key as St. Joseph (Mont.) looks to defend its title in 2022.
Ayjani Rasbury Ayjani Rasbury 6'2" | SG Dwight-Englewood | 2022 State NJ , 6’2 CG Dwight-Englewood 2022
Rasbury has been solid for Dwight-Englewood all season and it should continue in the Bergen County Jamboree. The 6’2 guard is at his best attacking the basket where he is a good finisher at the rim and does not mind drawing contact. Rasbury runs the offense effectively as he has seven games this season with at least five assists. He is an underrated rebounder and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Rasbury is a two-way guard who should continue to make plays at both ends for Dwight-Englewood.
John Celli John Celli 6'0" | SG Tenafly | 2022 State NJ , 6’0 SG Tenafly 2022
Tenafly has gotten off to a 9-2 start this season and Celli is looking to continue the strong start in the Bergen County Jamboree. The 6’0 guard has a lightning quick release on his jumper and is capable of hitting triples in bunches. Celli move exceptionally well off the ball, creating open layups and jumpers for himself. He slides his feet well on the defensive end and is an underrated ball-handler. Celli is a knockdown shooter who will have a big role in Tenafly’s success during the Bergen County Jamboree.

Nicky Crane, 6’2 SG Ridgewood 2022
