Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Esposito could serve as a poster child for what prep school is designed for, as the swingman is coming off a nine-inch growth spurt in a year’s time that has him looking every bit a bona-fide scholarship prospect as a post-grad after a nondescript high school career at powerhouse Bergen Catholic (NJ). With his newfound size on the perimeter, he’s established himself as one of the more prolific and reliable shooters in the region. He knocked down four 3s on Sunday en route to 16 points (13 in a dominant first half showing by the Lions), showcasing a quick release and polished footwork getting himself square while running off screens. The swingman moves better than expected for someone still adjusting to their frame and shows some natural craft when attacking closeouts off the bounce while also displaying nice toughness and court instincts to help out on the glass with his length. With recruitment spanning across all three levels given his unorthodox trajectory, Esposito is clearly trending up with a clear chance to find a home as a D1 shooting specialist at some point.
