Florida Top 250 Expo Prospect Report: Mayoum Mayoum (2020)
2020 DME guard Mayoum Mayoum was one of 33 underclassmen and 86 total prospects in attendance at the Prep Hoops Florida Top 250 Expo on Saturday, Sept. 30th at DME Academy in Daytona Beach.
I sat down with Mayoum to talk about his time at the expo. He played in the later session with the 2018-2019 prospects.
Q: What was your experience like in Daytona at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo?
A: It was good. It was my first camp in Florida. I got to play against some of the top-ranked players from the state. There were some good players in the camp, but I feel like I played very well myself against those guys. They caused my adrenaline to kick in and that actually more confident.
Q: Where did you first hear about it?
A: I heard about the camp from my coaches at DME Sports Academy.
Q: What was the best thing you learned?
A: I have a pretty good first step, but they taught me to be more efficient at the camp.
Q: What positive in your game grew? What negative in your game did you notice and try to fix?
A: I learned I can compete with some of the best players in the state if I stay aggressive and play with confidence.
Q: Would you recommend the expo to your peers? How come?
A: Yes, I would recommend the camp to my peers. It’ll show where you’re at, and how much you need to improve to amongst the best players in the area.
Q: What is your role looking like this season?
A: I need to be one of the leaders on the team. On offense, I think my role will be to penetrate and help break down the defense. Defensively, I need to use my athleticism to make plays and disrupt the other team’s offense.
This is Mayoum’s first year in the United States. The Australian born guard came to play in our expo. The 6’4″ DME guard was the most consistent performer all day long. He has no Division-I offers yet, but that will change awfully soon. The kid is the real deal. He’s been groomed as we speak.
