This kid has all the intangibles needed to succeed at the division one level and beyond. Melo runs the court very well for a big man. He can handle the ball like a wing player but he is almost 7 feet tall. He has extraordinary quickness and footwork. His touch around the basket is also very soft. Melo has some range on his shot and he has a highly nice arsenal of touch passes that he delivers with precision. Melo is a great shot blocker and should develop into an imposing defender in the near future. This kid is one of the most impressive prospects in the 2010 class. DeMelo play his AAU ball for the prestigious Florida Rams program.
