Lol, man y'all really be doing too much

There's a difference between rejecting an offer and NOT being offered.
Ik he was rejected, I’m saying it doesn’t matter either way
We know why he wasn’t invited anyway:mjpls:

ironic that it was the least talented ball [liangelo] who drastically derailed the BBB vision

if the whole china thing doesn't pop off, he likely continues at UCLA for a few years w/ melo joining on as a 1 and done... heightened exposure with two of brothers on the team. lamelo goes on to the NBA and liangelo possibly soon follows after developing his game at UCLA. from there, BBB has a lot more leverage to sell merch even if they aren't on the same team.

:patrice: yeah, just realised this turn of events was triggered by him stealing in China. Melo bout to hold resentment towards Lavar and his bro Gelo for fukking up his future

top prospects don’t show, heck first rounders period don’t even come, and combine performance doesn’t indicate anything for basketball
Bagley, Bamba, Bridges (both of em), Carter, Porter, Jaren Jackson, & Sexton, are among the participants in the combine this year.

The draft combine is important because it's where the official measurements of the prospects (like height with & without shoe, wingspan, vertical, speed..etc) come out which can help or hurt their draft stock.

this year seems different but in the past few years the top picks either didn't show at all or just came for pictures and didn't participate in everything, so no it's really not that important. at best, it confirms certain attributes, at worst it might hurt your stock

..and of course he wasn't invited. Only the the top collegiate guys are invited, and dude wasn't expected to come in and be a star at UCLA. Not immediately, anyway. He was never on the NBA's radar, and in general, if you're not on the NBA radar by your senior season of HS, you're 9 times out of 10 not going to the NBA.

Ima need the name in your avi
