He needed another year overseas. His game was developing nicely and could have had a better shot in a weaker draft.

yep. 2019 makes more sense. it's not like he's 25 with his window closing. a solid year of play (maybe on another team) would do wonders and give him time to do as much image makeover as possible. it's not like he'd be getting in Melo's way since Melo is 2+ years away

If he played at UCLA for a year and was solid, he'd get drafted. Lavar overplayed his hand and didn't give the boys a chance to prove themselves. Daddy wanted to leverage Lonzo's success into getting the other two over, but he moved too quickly. Honestly should have let LiAngelo go overseas (after the incident in China) and then had LaMelo stay in the U.S. and get a year at a top school. He was trying to get the bag but wanted to limit their risk/exposure. Probably more confident in Lonzo's ability than the other two....especially LiAngelo.

Real talk,....

If lavar was really paying attention and knew college bball to the NBA like how he says. He would have seen to send gelo to duke as that was the program given his skill set he would have probably turned into and ramped jnto a serviceable pro. Real talk,...if he went to duke I could have seen gelo ramping and being a jj redikk. If lavar was smart he would have sought out Quentin Richardson for gelo as an advisor. As Richardson was exactly the type of inside outside based high school pf.
that converted into a serviceable pro as a spot up shooter.
Plus dealt with admin issues in college and still materialized as a pro with no actual position at all.
Yet since the ball family does no market research outside of stealing kobe, boost and Jordan twenty low mockups for the melos shoes. This family has no upside now.
Plus, no way to ramp from successfully creating a discoveryzone built off of past successes in their industry. They could not even become the next top draw in shoes and had the supposed grant hill fila team[imo, I think it was the later fila hill team. that botched the design of the later hill shoes and not the fila hill one based off the Jordan nine].
