Scout Top 50 for 2008

8/22/06

Take your pick: Greg Monroe or Tyreke Evans. Either one would can stake a strong claim, at this point, to being the top prospect in the class. Monroe is the future, the guy who has the talent, ability and upside with room to grow. He went from prospect to player this past summer and enjoyed every minute of it.

Evans is the now. He?s the kid capable of the huge scoring number who can go out there and torch a defender for 40 points in the blink of an eye. He was banged up this summer and we didn?t get to see him on top of his game. There?s absolutely no shame in being No. 2 and like we said, a case could still be made for his candidacy at the top. He probably feels like there?s some unfinished business coming out of the summer so expect a monster junior season.
