Macklin is listed as one of Seth Davis' "Summertime top 10"...

Quote:
I have now attended four events featuring the top high school players in America -- one conducted in June by USA Basketball, and one for each of the big three sneaker companies during the July evaluation period. Thus, I have seen just about every top schoolboy there is to see. Allowing that a few games are not nearly enough to give a complete evaluation, I have put together a list of my 10 favorite players. These are not necessarily the best 10 guys in America. They're just the players who made the biggest impressions on me this summer. For the time being, I'm going to leave off the obvious choices of Oden and O.J. Mayo. Herewith (in alphabetical order):

• Vernon Macklin, 6-9 forward, Portsmouth, Va. They call him "Big Ticket," probably because he's the type of big man people will pay to see. Macklin hits the boards like Amare Stoudamire, but he shows enough ball skills to make you think he could someday evolve into a true inside-outside tour de force. He's got most of the East Coast after him and has yet to begin narrowing his choices.
