A lot of mid-majors recruit players with his general talent level (although there are a lot more talented 2 and 3 star recruits than him), but with good intangibles and willingness to play by the coach’s system. At the lower level, competing for conference championships against other teams with similar resources means often that you’re getting the same kinds of low major player as your opponents. What separates Irvine from, say, Riverside in the conference tourney is usually execution of playcalls, defense, and the ability to find diamonds in the rough in the offseason.

LiAngelo really hasn’t shown he can play within a legitimate system, play defense, or that he is underrated (if anything he’s overrated due to his brothers). Just not a good look.

Minus his father he’d be a great 4 year 3 point specialist off the bench for a small conference team, or even a part-time starter if he’s dedicate himself to playing defense.

The only way a low-major would take him right now is if their team sucked, had no chance at a tourney bid, and needed publicity badly.
He was getting some rotational minutes at UCLA. He's not that bad but let's be clear, he's a not a NBA prospect. He need serious development.

Lavar said they was gonna keep him on the bench and thats why he took him out, said he the best shooter on the team and its like jj reddikk not getting pt :russ:


Gelo can't shoot that good tho. He's an open court shooter. He's not bussing with two nikkas hanging on him from insane range like Melo. I personally think Zo is a better shooter on the move. Gelo is a spot up shooter and a post player.
