Best Available 2021 Post Prospects

Who are the top 2021 post prospects still remaining on the board?  We dive into the PHI Top Unsigned 2021 Post Prospects in the state of Illinois!   Grant NewellGrantNewell6'6" | PFWhitney Young | 2021StateIL (Whitney Young) Ranking: #15 Newell has been a top 20 prospect his entire career and was primed for a breakout senior campaign after the way he had played in the summer and fall.  His progress continues especially in the production category.  Newell was dominant right from the start at the Rock N Ball Winer League.  He was most effective using his quickness in the paint catching passes in the mid-post and taking them to the basket.  Scores through or around contact on numerous occasions.  Handles have greatly improved which allows him to score off the bounce from almost anywhere on the floor. Also stretches it out to three on occasion.  The potential is now being realized!    Ola AjiboyeOlaAjiboye6'8" | PFEvanston | 2021StateIL (Evanston) Ranking: #17 The long and thin four man can stretch the floor with his shooting and is an excellent rim runner in transition.  Has a developing hook shot game around the hoop.  His biggest strength is his defense with the way he protects the rim as a shot blocker.  Greatly under recruited prospect for a player of his talent.   KJ DebrickKJDebrick6'7" | CSpringfield Lanphier | 2021StateIL (Springfield Lanphier) Ranking: #23 The Springfield Lanphier five man is a big bodied center that seems to have trimmed up some since we last saw him at the end of the summer.  He is an intimidating presence in the paint defensively as a shot blocker and overall brick wall.  Volume rebounder in his area that is particularly effective getting second chance points on the offensive glass.   Kevin BozemanKevinBozeman6'6" | PFDowners Grove North | 2021StateIL (Downers Grove North) Ranking: #40 Bozeman fits the profile of the new age power forward.  Athletic forward that has bounce around the hoop and can stretch the floor with his shooting.  Can switch defensively on to multiple positions.  Has started to add strength which will help him against strong four men.   James OgrodnikJamesOgrodnik6'7" | PFLincoln Way Central | 2021StateIL (Lincoln Way Central) Ranking: #45 This 6’9” stretch post was outstanding for the Illinois T-Wolves during the summer where he knocked down shots from beyond the arc and was confident letting it fly.  Also displayed bounce around the hoop including put back dunks and swats on the defensive end.  Flashed footwork on the block with his back to the basket.    Phillip HolmesPhillipHolmes6'7" | CSimeon | 2021StateIL (Simeon) Ranking: #47 Holmes is an underrated senior prospect that should be getting more attention on the recruiting trail.  What we like about his game is what he brings defensively as a rim protector.  Blocks shots and alters others.  Offensively he is a good screener and solid rebounder for second chance points.   Devon VanderheydtDevonVanderheydt6'7" | PFWashington | 2021StateIL (Washington) Ranking: #53 Really like the upside of this face up four man.  He can absolutely stroke it from three and brings size/toughness as well at 6’7”.  Brings a nice combination of athleticism, passing, and perimeter shooting   Jaylen BrysonJaylenBryson6'8" | PFChampaign Centennial | 2021StateIL (Champaign Centennial) Ranking: #55 Bryson is a long and lanky post that runs the floor, protects the rim, and flashes offensive potential.  He has a lot of the athletic and physical tools that project well to the college level.   Grant JohnsonGrantJohnson6'5" | PFNaperville North | 2021StateIL (Naperville North) Ranking: #58 Johnson is a floor stretching four that is very good off the catch, can run into a three in transition, and also improved his handles over the summer.   Aaron McQueenAaronMcQueen6'5" | PFLane Tech | 2021StateIL (Lane Tech) Ranking: #61 McQueen just produces!  He isn’t the flashiest player, but every time you see him play he posts excellent numbers scoring in the paint, hitting mid-range jumpers, and rebounding in bunches.
