The Phenom Middle School Elite Camp was an incredible overall event and a chance for us at Phenom Hoops to get a glimpse of the future here around the region. We want to continue to excitement and coverage, as we will be highlighting several players along with all evaluations being posted here on the Phenom Hoops website.
2029 6’4 Noah Melvin was an interesting prospect overall watching on the court. Of course, with his 6’4 strong and sturdy frame as a young prospect captured your eyes first, but you had to appreciate what he was able to provide on the court. He used his physicality to his advantage at times, attacking the basket and the boards, being a strong force on both sides of the ball, and displaying his comfort level from an array of areas on the court. He was a consistent scoring presence around the basket, battling hard on the offensive glass or showing touch in finishing around the basket, but also making his presence felt on the defensive end. I really liked his overall feel for the game and his understanding of how to make his impact felt in a variety of ways. He played with good energy, was engaged and active, and showed that he could be a good scoring presence when the opportunity was there, especially around the basket.
What Was Said:
“2029 6’4 Noah Melvin (New Life Christian) is an intriguing prospect. Great size and frame early on, can play and operate from multiple areas, and finishes well around the rim.
