Jesiah is one whom I’ve known about for a while, thanks to his time on varsity at Irmo, but after seeing him with Team USC Premier, I got a better feel for his game. Melendez takes pride in his defensive production because it often results in easy buckets in transition. He can score in the half-court, too, but some physical growth could propel him up the rankings.
