MALEEK THOMAS A CUT ABOVE THE REST
All it took was one day and 4 games for Lincoln Park’s Maleek Thomas* to show why he was one of the most highly touted Pennsylvania prospect heading into the PANGO’S. ALL EAST CAMP.
Arriving late, and fresh off of his dominating performances at the USA Basketball Camp in Colorado Springs two weeks ago, Maleek waisted no time establishing the hierarchy here in Philadelphia.
The western PA native is an assassin with the ball in his hands. He destroyed the competition with a wide-array of offensive moves as a scorer and distributor. His skill set is just light years ahead of his peers at this point in their natural progression. Maleek’s maturity is evident in his play, interaction with peers, coaches and fans. He elevates those around him and Mike Bariski’s Leopards will be a team to watch in this years PIAA AAAA bracket come March.
Below is a list of 2025 & 2026 prospective student athletes we’ve seen this past weekend and a brief comment on each. (* Indicates TOP 30 PANGOS ALL STAR, ** Indicates TOP 60 PANGOS ALL STAR)
