The platform

Everything between the long list and the signature.

A working toolkit, not a static database. Every tool answers a question a recruitment meeting actually asks.

01

Role profiles

Every player is assigned a role from his own numbers: Playmaker, Primary Scorer, 3-and-D and more. Search for the profile your roster needs, not just a position.

02

Cross-league projections

See how a player's stats should translate into any target league, built from real observed transfers instead of guesswork.

03

Scout Lab

Team Needs finds a team's gaps against its league. Find Similar matches a profile in the markets you can sign from. Genie Lamp turns a few answers into a shortlist.

04

Hidden Gems and Uptrend

A running list of young players doing well in smaller leagues, plus who is trending up against his own last season.

05

Squad planning

Team Rosters, the Minutes Audit and a planner that projects what a signing does to your minutes before you make it.

06

Pro Team Lab

For EuroLeague and EuroCup clubs: five-man units, on/off impact, shot charts by zone and starters against bench, from the official feed.

Proof, not promises

We check our projections against what actually happened.

Every projection is tested on real transfers. For the 15 moves in our public showcase (2024-25 into 2025-26) the average miss is 1.1 points per game, and 9 of them landed within a point. We show the misses too.

How it works

From a vague need to a defensible shortlist.

  1. Say what the roster needs

    A role, a level, a budget, a league to fit into. Or pick a team and let Team Needs find its gaps.

  2. Compare across 46 competitions

    Candidates are ranked by role fit across every league, then projected into yours so the numbers mean the same thing.

  3. Decide with the evidence in hand

    Compare head to head, plan the minutes, save the shortlist, and send it on. The eye test stays. It just starts with better names.

About us

Basketball is a game of margins. We help you find them.

Melon Sports was founded by a basketball enthusiast with one obsession: understanding the game deeply enough to change how clubs make decisions. Years of watching, studying and loving the sport led to one question: why don't clubs have better tools to find the right players?

MelonIQ is our answer. One place to scout 46 competitions, project performance across leagues, compare players and teams, and plan a squad, built for the people who need to find the right player faster and know how he will perform once he gets there.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

Is MelonIQ only for top-tier European clubs?

Not at all. MelonIQ is built for any professional club operating in European basketball, from EuroLeague contenders to ambitious clubs in national leagues looking to recruit smarter. The platform covers 46 competitions, including 39 European leagues, NCAA D1 and D2, the G League and the NBL and CEBL, precisely because value exists at every level, including college basketball, where many European clubs now actively recruit.

How is MelonIQ different from watching game footage?

Video tells you what a player looks like. Data tells you what a player actually does, consistently, across an entire season, in the context of the level he plays at. MelonIQ doesn't replace the eye test. It tells you which players are worth turning the camera on in the first place.

How do I get access?

MelonIQ is in early access and we onboard clubs and agencies by hand. Request access and we will be in touch to arrange a demo and talk through how the platform can support your recruitment.

How accurate are the cross-league projections?

We validate them against real transfers and publish the results, including the misses. In our public showcase of 15 moves from 2024-25 to 2025-26 the average miss was 1.1 points per game, and 9 of the 15 landed within a point. See the live examples on the showcase page.

Does MelonIQ do more than scouting reports?

Yes. Beyond player and team profiles, MelonIQ includes side-by-side comparisons, a squad planner that shows the effect of a signing before you make it, a minutes audit, a running list of undervalued young players, and for EuroLeague and EuroCup clubs a full team lab. It is a working toolkit, not a static database.
