The big man group is ready for a strong 2021-22 season as they look to establish themselves as names to remember in the Garden State. Here are the top 2023 post prospects set for a big 2021-22 season.
Aaron Bradshaw Aaron Bradshaw 7'0" | PF Camden | 2023 State #10 Nation NJ , 7’0 PF Camden
Bradshaw’s stock has been rising since the summer and it should only go higher throughout the course of the season. The lanky, 7-footer has a good face-up game as he can get to the basket from the perimeter and can knock down jumpers from behind the arc. Bradshaw has a nice touch around the basket and runs the floor hard. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is one of the top shot-blockers in the class. Bradshaw is one of the top prospects in the class and is primed for a huge season.
Noah Barnett Noah Barnett 6'8" | PF Don Bosco Prep | 2023 NLG , 6’8 PF Don Bosco Prep
Barnett is set to carry the load down low for the Ironmen and is set for a big season. The 6’8 forward runs the floor hard and knows how to finish around the basket. Barnett has an underrated face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and has a nice release on his jumper. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to altar shots on the defensive end. Barnett is set for a breakout season for Don Bosco Prep as he gets more touches down low.
Babacar Mbengue Babacar Mbengue 7'0" | C Olympus Prep | 2023 State #155 Nation NJ , 7’0 C Olympus Prep
Mbengue has had a big last couple of months and it should carry into the season. The 7-footer knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Mbengue runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy dunks in transition. He is a big-time shot-blocker around the basket and uses his physicality well on both ends of the floor. Mbengue’s stock is rising quickly and it will only go up as the season progresses.
Ian Imegwu Ian Imegwu 6'8" | PF Blair Academy | 2023 State NJ , 6’8 PF Blair Academy
Imegwu may come off the bench for Blair Academy to start the season, but he will be a key member of the squad. The 6’8 lefty is comfortable playing on the perimeter as his range extends past the three-point line and can put the ball on the floor to get to the basket. Imegwu has a nice touch around the basket and can draw contact close to the rim. He works hard on the glass on both ends of the floor and is a good post defender. Imegwu’s ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his game in a big way this year.
Darrius Phillips Darrius Phillips 6'7" | PF Seton Hall Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 PF Seton Hall Prep
Phillips had a solid sophomore season and should have an even bigger junior campaign. The 6’7 forward has a strong frame which he uses to finish through contact around the basket. Phillips can also play on the perimeter as he has a solid handle and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is a strong rebounder and is an underrated passer. Phillips is a skilled power forward prospect who is ready to have a big 2021-22 season for the Pirates.
