Melton's Mailbag 7/3/08

As you know through our polls we at Basketball Spotlight like to have the fan input. We decided to take it to another level. We have developed the Melton’s Mailbag. The Melton Mailbag will contain 4 questions from you the fans that we will post and answer on our page. We will pick the four questions we feel are the best for that week.

Mike I read the rankings on other sites and Savon Goodman was in the mid teens but you had him ranked in the top five, what really happened down there?


MM: James, I was actually in the building and I don’t rank players just on their name. In my opinion Savon was one of the best players in the camp. He played hard on both ends and displayed top talent.

Cathy From Yardley, PA wrote:
Mr. Melton who is the top prospect in the region’s 2012 Class?


MM: There’s some top talent in this class. You have Nkerweum Okoro, Kyle Anderson, Amile Jefferson, Savon Goodman, Labrent Walker among others. We will make a Top 50 ranking for this class at the end of August. This class will be the only one ranked.

Mike who do you feel is the best 12 and Under Team in the region?


MM: Well right now the Gauchos, Delaware Hawks and Team Underrated have been impressive while King Street Kings have showed promise. I’m taking a trip to the 12U Nationals and will report what I see.

Mike I heard that the Hoop Group Jr. Elite Camp is the place to be what do you think?


MM: John I know Lamar Barrett very well and from what I heard it was pretty good last year. I will definitely be there this year. It’s August 2nd thru 5th at the College of NJ.
