I still don't see the it factor. In order to be an elite player you need half court skills like size up, hesi, dribble continuation etc. Melo has very little of those and every play seems erratic when I see him play.
:mjlol: Bruh stop it he has elite vision and passion to go with a tight handle and ability to rebound on top of all that he’s a legit 6’8 my man you bugging right now

I think you gotta be feeling somewhat optimistic based on game one

he at least looks like he will be able to have some better discipline with his shot selection than some thought

and his passing is as advertised

His offensive efficiency will probably be a process to fix but if he can he could be a problem

Young Penny Hardaway :whoo:
I can see the comparison, Lamelo just has to look to score a little more. He’s definitely poised and a general on the floor.

People have to realize they’re going from being drafted to playing NBA basketball in less than a month. It’s not going to be perfect but you want to see that guys belong, and Lamelo clearly belongs.

He was able to get to the rim despite not being athletic. If his jumper becomes solid, Hornets got a star, given his handles and size.


Haters trying to use him not scoring to say he didnt play well

His floor and court vision is what gonna separate him

And he finish around rim well and can shoot ft

Lonzo struggled wit both

Melo def has star potential

Melo only played 16 minutes and was used in spurts

None of his shots fell but he didn’t force the issue

The whole bu bu he didn’t score shyt is a hater narrative from people who didn’t watch the game.

I love LaMelo but I need to see more offensive production before I get hype. A great passing, great boarding PG ain't enough. It's incredibly early but Melo didnt answer the main questions about his game in that first preseason game. What I was yesterday was similar to Lonzo's first game with in the league just with more flair and creativity.
