eBoss Hoops Post-Summer Top 100

Another summer of grassroots basketball has come and gone and after taking a few weeks to reflect on the summer’s action, it’s time to update the rankings for each class.

Today, we’ll start off by taking a look at the class of 2008 where Tyreke Evans has wrestled away the top spot from Greg Monroe. The decision to elevate Evans to the top spot wasn’t an easy one because Monroe remains a terrific prospect and had a consistent summer. However, Evans was both consistent and dominant while showing off an improved all around floor game and deserves the number one spot.

There is no scientific method or magical formula that can be used to rank players so it’s never easy. This is just one person’s take and it is based on trying to weigh high school and summer production, future potential, and how ready a player is for the next level (College) at this time. More than anything these are done for fun and to spark up some conversation.
