Roe shows out

Didn't get a chance to see him play, but by all accounts Michigan State basketball recruit Delvon Roe was one of the prime performers at the recently-completed USA Men's Youth Development Festival.

Roe, a senior-to-be and the centerpiece of MSU's 2008 recruiting class, missed the championship game because of a nagging leg injury but finished as the camp's leading scorer at 30.3 points per game. He also was one of five players to average double figures in rebounding (10.3 rpg) for the tournament. Craig Miller, spokesperson for USA Basketball, said Roe's injury was minor. His Blue team lost the gold-medal game in overtime to USA Red, 112-109.

Fellow 2008 MSU recruit Korie Luscious led his White team to the Bronze medal. He averaged 18.2 points per game, but struggled with 23 turnovers in five games. Another MSU targets, Class of '09 guard Dexter Strickland, averaged 15.6 points as Luscious' backcourt mate.

Greg Monroe, Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans, ranked Nos. 1, 2 and 14 in the '07 Class by Rivals.com, joined Roe as the festival's top performers. Monroe was the top rebounder (12.6) and a bull inside, Holiday led all players in assists (8.0) and was one of the few defensive standouts, and Evans averaged 29.8 points and went for 43 in the opener on 18-of-25 shooting.
