why is Lamelo Ball ranked 18th in his class?

[Family Lives Matter]

Zero defense
Horrible shot selection

 

[Serious]

Did he grow taller? I thought he was 6'3

looks about 6'4 now

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Just wait on it

 

[Kings County]

i thought he would be top 5. he's better than number 2 zion in his class

nikka a chucker bruh
no defense
gets punked by other ranked players
pulls up from 40 feet when they're down by 20

 

[ThaBoyBam]

Who are all the lock down defensive guards?

 

[big bun]

He's lucky to be ranked that high. Isn't he playing up a year in HS? Like shouldn't he be a sophomore instead of a junior?

 

[boskey]

Maybe back when newspapers were popular and youd see "92 points" but we got youtube now, eye test > nerd test

You are an idiot.

He's going through a growth spurt. He looks taller than his pops now. Like other dude said, he might wind up like 6'7".

18th is a perfectly good spot for him

 

[fifth column]

basketball iq, defense,strength and shot selection is lacking.

This kid needs to gain some pounds....

PG defense is not a priority for any team

I could name 4 other PG's I would take over him in his class. His basketball IQ is horrible, but society made him this way. He had a game where he shot the ball 68 times, team was down by 24 points and he's shooting from the half court line. The kid have a lot of talent, and he keeps growing ( He was 5"9 as a Frosh), but his shot selection is absolutely atrocious. He laughs at Kobe's greenlight, but you can't say shyt. You're hating on BBB. I was bigging up this kid when people in here didn't even know who Lonzo was, so watching his style of play now that he is a celebrity is hard to stomach. The game on ESPNU between Oakland Soldiers and CP3 destroyed that Zion/Melo game. That was real basketball. It had me yelling, jumping up and down.

WHAT?!

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

They called me a hater when I brought these points up

Look at Cole Anthony and look at Lamelo and you'll see the difference between a real point guard and a sideshow

These are the lengths people will go to hype Lamelo Ball. I see why basketball shouldn't be discussed seriously on here

Cole Anthony, Ashton Hagans (my favorite), Andrew Nembhard from Canada, and Jalen Lecque from the BX would eat his lunch , but Melo have the talent to challenge anybody. Is he the #1 guard, hell no. Melo is more of a 2 guard. That position I would say he sits at the top, though Bryan Antoine from Jerz is the best. He would be #2.
