1. Will all three of them be going to the NBA?

2. Which is the best brother?

3. I heard they are saying that Lamelo was going to be the best one and do you agree?

Forgive me but I have been slacking lately but I am catching up on Sports I stopped watching for a little while

Lonzo one of the most hyped rookie in years. Suppose to be a JKidd/Nash level playmaker.

Liangelo is a 3-star recruit. 250lb SG, longshot to make NBA.

LaMelo is a top 15 junior in HS. Has better scoring instincts than Zo did but not the passer or athlete. I think he like 6'4 now, still growing obviously. Will probably make the league.

No their is no definite for Melo to make it imo. I mean he'll likely get a shot just because of the hype and on the strength of his brother but his fundamentals are TRASH. He's a high volume shooter and isn't efficient. He's not that athletic (he's 6'4 and just did his first dunk like a month ago, I knew nikkas at 5'10/5'11 who were dunking as high school freshman so I'm not sure age is an excuse although we never know how his body will develop in the next 2 years). His defense is non-existent, like he doesn't even put any effort. And now with his father doing the whole pulling him from high school and his possible NCAA issues it's possible may not play high school ball or college ball. I doubt he'll go overseas because the father has been so big on keeping the family close (UCLA, Lakers, etc) but I guess only time will tell.

lamelo COULD make it, but to me hes behind where he should be as a player, even at 16. his fundamentals and decision making are way behind. physically he is weak as hell. for someone that isnt an explosive athlete its impossible to maximize your potential without putting in the work in the weight room. his game has no polish at all. he needs a lot of work, im not sure how bad he wants it. hes going to be able to eat off the ball name now so im not sure hes got enough fire in him to make it happen.

Lamelo ranking boosted over the summer,he's top 5-7 player in his class now

No way he's straight as hell for 16 years of age,he's gonna be a problem by the time he's 18

The Truth
He's not 250...:comeon:


He's 230 and benches 300lbs easily



To answer OP... Yeah they're pretty good.

The youngest could eventually be the best one. Been playing varsity since he was like 13/14. Everybody who hasn't watched them only seen summer league shyt where he's basically the only nikka on an undersized team of neighborhood kids thats even ranked.

Zo is the most athletic and best passer and probably best overall though. Gelo is more of a workhorse scorer (lead the teams in scoring even when Zo was there). Like Zach Randolf but can shoot 3's and is a guard

Melo is flashier and more creative with getting his shot. I think they will all be in the nba together

we will just have to agree to disagree. look at the kids FG%... the turnovers....the matador defense... pulling up for 3s from half court....

nah, he needs work
Dude wasn't even 16 most of the summer:mjlol:

He's not behind, he's like #5 in his class and been playing varsity... And winning since he was like 14
