I've been hearing his name from the Basketball World, and I was so curious why he is so famous and he took the junior league by storm. By his explosive points and filling in the stats, no wonder he can be the future of the De La Salle Community and the Philippine Basketball.

I am talking about the UAAP Season 78 Most Valuable Players for Juniors, Aljun Melecio, playing Guard of the De La Salle Zobel Junior Archers. This humble guy has post moves like Ginebra guard Scottie Thompson, and can do outside and inside shots. He is the former back court tandem of Renzo Subido that is now the playing guard of the UST Growling Tigers. His breathtaking  performance lift his team to the UAAP Season 78 Junior Basketball Finals against Ateneo Blue Eaglets and faced NU Bullpups, eventhough they end up as a runner up, he still made an excellent blow to make the game more exciting with his shots.

After Kobe Paras left the chance to play with La Salle and committed himself to be in UCLA Bruins, The team is looking for a replacement and they need a solid guard who can do all the work inside the court, they need an all around guard who can help them during crunch time and he is the perfect fit.

I have read and heard that he committed to play with the De La Salle Green Archers in College, well not a doubt if  DLSU will lock him out, because Melecio is qualified for that empty post. After JV Casio, Simon Atkins, Joseph Yeo, LA Revilla, and Almond Vosotros left the team they have been searching for the best guards in the country and the quest had ended, Hoping to feature him in my blogs, and I'm sure he will be a crowd favorite.

I am looking forward to meet this guy and I hope there is a big chance for me to know him personally.
