Steph is a good off-ball defender with positioning and playing the passing lanes.

I've watched about 5-10 full games of just LaMelo against various levels of competition and extended clips from other games, not highlights. There's tons of film on him because of the AAU circuit.
He is not efficient on offense. His offense comes from volume, end of story. When you break it down between half court and transition the disparity really shows. Even against normal High School competition he doesn't operate effectively in the half court. All he really takes in the half court are tough pull up shots and he's always fading, setting his mechanics up poorly for the future.
He doesn't have the passing ability Lonzo does.
His handle is more show than actual substance.
PNR game lacking.
Does nothing off ball to get himself open.
All of these deficiencies are glaring when he goes up against equal level of competition:
Lamelo out here putting up 50 shots and giving up 50+ points due to cherry picking and people comparing him to nba guards "bad" defenseLowry and Paul absolutely play defense.

Whats funny is he's better than Lonzo at 15. Dude is playing against Academies and Prep school stars (where they basically go to breed athletes and future pros) with neighborhood kids, while being younger than mostly everyone else, and they talking about his efficiencynikka you said "he not a better passer than lonzo" nikka Lonzo is 20 and in the NBA.That was hate my g.
98% of NBA PG's dont have the passing ability that Lonzo doesMelo has put up countless triple doubles in the summer league and has shown that he is a more than capable passer and this is with the trash teammates that he has
While he does have a poor shot selection, thats something that can be fixed, he's an elite scorer and his efficiency would be way higher if he wasn't taking contested long range 3s.. it's not like its a situation where he just can't shoot
His handle is great for his age and will only get better, a lot more impressive than Lonzo on that end
He constantly gets himself open
Lamelo vs equal competition including the rematch of the only game u ever watched of him
heres some others
not to mention 36 and 10 on SC Supreme which had Zion and another top 30 ranked player who was the one actually guarding himand feel free to watch the Jaylen hands matchup I posted earlier in the thread

i thought he would be top 5. he's better than number 2 zion in his class
Who cares about rankings. His AAU games gets millions of views on youtube. He's single handedly put AAU basketball on the map. That's more valuable than rankings. Everyone else is also getting valuable exposure.....

Pretty much everything that's been said in this thread is true, yet doesn't matter, since Lamelo is much younger than everyone else. Lavar intentionally puts his sons on bad teams, against better competition, so they have to figure it out. His passing has improved a lot recently, gotta be patient when evaluating a 15 year old who's still growing into his body.
