U16 OVERVIEW
Leo Menalo is a regular member of Croatian youth national teams. At first impression he stands out with nice body structure and great motor coordination. His good frame suggests that he should add considerable amount of bulk in order to be able to withstand the extra physicality on next levels. Leo moves exceptionally fluid for a player who stands around around 6’8 before turning 16. He is quick and his long strides are really well coordinated. At the same time he looks very undermature and it is not out of question if he has 1-2 inches of growing left. However height is already desirable considering that most likely Menalo will end up as small forward. Skillwise he obviously has ways to go but shows flashes. Seemed to be less raw in 2018 Belgrade Adidas Next Generation comparing to U15 Ramunas Siskauskas 8 months before. In fact while playing at junior Euroleague vs 2 years older competition in garbage time he impressed all the present NBA scouts who noted down his name. If he can continue this pace of development really sky is the limit.
