ANAHEIM, Ca. – Week II of the NCAA’s summer basketball evaluation period gets underway Wednesday at 5 o’clock.

The Asics Double Pump Best of the Summer – annually one of the better “evaluation events” of the summer – gets underway at 5 p.m. (per NCAA rules) at the American Sports Centers (1500 Anaheim Blvd., in Anaheim just a few blocks from Disneyland and the Honda Center).

The competition wraps up with championship games in four divisions (17 Open; 17 Gold; 16; and 15) on Sunday.

Also opening on Wednesday evening is the Battle at the Beach, held at Redondo High in Redondo Beach (1 Sea Hawk Way), with four games played beginning at 6 o’clock, in the school’s auxiliary gymnasium.

Full schedules – in both gyms – are scheduled for Thursday and Friday, beginning at 8:30 each morning.

And a two-day event – the Fullcourt Press Cream of the Crop Challenge – tips off at 8:30 Friday morning at the MAP Complex in Garden Grove (12552 Western) and wraps up Saturday evening.

Frank Burlison is a well-regarded basketball writer who was inducted into the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Hall of Fame in 2005. His opinions on the potential of high school and college players are widely respected and sought by college coaches and NBA scouts, personnel directors and general managers from coast to coast. Oh, yes – he can offer plenty of thoughts on movies, television and pop music. Yes, he can rank those, too. Hint: He’s a big The Godfather, Larry Sanders, The Wire and The Beatles loyalist.

I have been a fan of Frank Burlison’s skills as a talent evaluator for over twenty years. He stands out as one of the absolute best in the business.

I’ve known Frank for at least 35 years and have the utmost respect for his writing as well as his understanding of, and insight into, basketball. His ability to evaluate basketball prospects is almost impeccable. Most coaches and scouts watch a player and can tell you how good he is NOW. What separates Frank from the others is that he can watch the same player and tell you how good he can be two or three years down the line.

Frank Burlison is one of the most knowledgeable basketball people in the business! His passion for the game puts him at the top of the list. There are very few people whose evaluation skills I trust like I do Frank’s!
