This board overrates the fukk out of LaMelo.

Most of that Lottery turned out to be meh. Haliburton is the guy people should be talking about the Warriors drafting instead of Wiseman.
He was the guy everyone was saying the Warriors should draft and everyone was right

That draft was gonna be terrible either way because there wasn't enough game footage on players coming up in the draft due to the pandemic lockdowns. The top 15 was wildly inaccurate and Wiseman was placed way too high
I felt the draft turned out as expected.

I'm not gonna quote the dummies who kept arguing it was the right move :mjlol:

Yall know who yall are.

Yall could have had Poole and Lamelo and been SET for the next ten years :dead:
Poole & Melo as your lead cornerstones :scust:

You clearly don’t watch games. That’s not to say Wiseman with GS wasn’t a horrible fit.

Lamelo, like Carmelo, missed out on joining a winning organization and is now doomed to be a famous could have been never winning a title. Wiseman still got potential idk why people sleep on him he just never fit the warriors. It was like adding boogie to them
This. I wasn’t high on him with GS. But he can possibly put up numbers to lessen the perception about him.

At this point he clearly isn’t going to be a winning player tho. He has a lot of basic work needed.

bruh lamelo ain't even played 30 games this year, played with more different starting lineups than most teams have had in two seasons, and the main dude hating been salty as fukk he can't do his lamelo/cade comparison trolling because cade been is even more injury prone than lamelo is

half this thread don't even watch these players. outside of the bucks, the main team lamelo lights up constantly is whatever team hali is on :dead:

I was joking in that post before lol Lamelo is gonna be fine he’s chucking now but y’all lost miles bridges for nothing and he was arguably the best player last year. If they get Wemby or scoot to pair with Lamelo he’s going to look better. That and cut out the Trae young behavior of terrible on ball defense and chucking threes with 19 seconds in the clock

But the Lamelo/Carmelo parallels are obvious that’s not hate that’s an observation

I called LaMelo a bust before the draft, but after seeing him in the NBA there’s no doubt he would have been the perfect fit for the Warriors. 6”7 with handle and range? with the great shooter of all time? “That’s nasty” *Cleveland voice*

I wanna see how James Wiseman fairs in Detroit, where he has more time and room to grow as a basketball player.

This would be reasonable if the Warriors weren’t light years ahead. I feel like Lacob probably saw the pandemic coming first.
