handled that target on his back with poise and legitimately built a reputation as one of the state’s most highly touted freshman under first year head coach Chris Simpson in a turn around season at St. Benedict’s Prep, particularly with the intrigue that continues to surround his long term upside as a dynamic and twitchy guard with a unique blend of positional size and strong ball skills. Turning in a number of strong and aggressive scoring performances over the course of his first year, Postell Jr demonstrated his confident and natural scoring ability— dangerous perimeter shooting ability as a spot up shooter and off the dribble while also creating his own scoring opportunities with a quick and controlled handle to get to downhill and finish with craftiness around the basket mixed with creating separation for smooth mid range pull ups and tough fadeaways. Effective in the open floor, Postell Jr also generated a ton of offense in transition, often times showcasing his athleticism for explosive above the rim finishes. Equally impactful on the defensive end with his lengthy arms paired with his energy and effort, Postell Jr proved to be disruptive in the passing lanes and ware down opposing ball handlers to force turnovers. Though he’s still in the early stages of his development, Postell Jr. has clear upside to grow into one of the top prospects in the 2029 class.
