Carmelo Adkins is USC Upstate’s polished, high-usage scoring wing with real two-way upside
In the 2024-25 season, Carmelo Adkins averaged 10.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 29.0 minutes for USC Upstate, then flashed a bigger ceiling with a 13.5-point, 4.9-rebound sophomore season line and a few explosive outings, including an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double. He stands out as a 6-foot-4 guard who can handle starter-level minutes, rebound like a forward, and stretch defenses when his shot is falling, though his efficiency has been a work in progress. If a team wants a competitive, versatile guard with production and growth left, he’s worth a close look.
