LaMelo Ball Pro Career Thread

[Killer Instinct]

Thecoli think every player drafted top 5 is a future star

dude is a certified bust

I mean, according to you...

Lamelo won’t be in the nba

LaMelo is maybe a late 2nd round pick

My money is on that he doesn’t get drafted

You're already off to a rough start.

Ok, Lonzo was the best ball and he’s a bust.

thecoli still think Markell’s fultz isn’t a bust

I’m not seeing a future star in his film

I think he’ll be a decent role player / supporting piece on a good team eventually

 

[L&HH]

While I genuinely do not think he's as good as advertised I am truly happy for him and want him to prove me wrong. Just seen the interview where he says he doesn't spend his NBA money and how he's smarter than that. Dude is way more mature than I thought and tbh has handled all the nonsense his pops put him through and the fame and attention better than you can expect. He genuinely hasn't had any major incidents, shows up and puts the work in. He's also growing into his own man, seems to have his own team, doing his own deals, and making his own decisions. Like I said the honest me is very skeptical of what he can do but I want him to succeed.

He's currently a 6'8 ball handler that can legitimately pass and create for others. I don't think he'll ever be as explosive as Lonzo, but he's already shown an ability to be crafty around the rim and finish better than his brother did at UCLA.

A PG with his length and playmaking ability rightfully deserved to be a lottery pick. The elephant in the room is his broken shot, if he can genuinely improve that aspect of his game the ceiling's high.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

If he can finish through contact around the rim, I can see him being a real problem. Like Zo he has an overall feel for the game. He’s Nowhere near the defense of his older brother and he has a long way to go as an on-ball defender. But Offensively, he’s well rounded. But most importantly, he’s aggressive and doesn’t have Lonzo’s passive mentality. He’s definitely a boom or bust type, could very well be MCW 2.0 but he seems to have that “don’t give a fukk” type of aggressiveness that some Star players possess.

Can't wait for actual season

 

[Kang Deezy]

Looks legit. Good for Charlotte

 

[Guile]

I told yall he can finish at the rim. And th fact thst he developed some upper body strength has made his shot much less of a push shot thar it used to be. Probably rookie of the year.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

He's got all the makings of becoming a special player. Hornets finally got their franchise piece to build around.

Quoted for emphasis.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

He might be my new favorite player. Warriors shoulda drafted him. Him and Steph in the backcourt

Klay at the 3 when healthy

Could MJ finally have a star
