Why is no one talking about LaMelo averaging 29 and 7?

[Voice of Reason]

Breh looks like he finally broke out

 

[GilSho]

He currently has the 5th highest USG rate of all time and is shooting the ball 25 times a game on below league average efficiency.

Nothing about his season is impressive. If you shoot the ball at a historic rate like he's doing, you're going to put a lot of points.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Finally broke out? He already made an All-Star team before.

He's always hurt and the Hornets are 8-27 right now. That's why nobody's talking about him... despite him being one of the top vote getters for All-Star Weekend.

 

[VegetasHairline]

Because only @42 Monks actually watches Hornets games.

 

[MJ Truth]

He plays for the Hornets and is essentially doing whatever he wants without consequence because he’s never been expected to win.

 

[Damnshow]

Hornets are only two wins above the league's worst record. Here's your answer.

 

[In The Zone '98]

Hasn't publicly denounced losing

He got a lot to work on

 

[RubioTheCruel]

He plays like a complete dikkhead. Shoots 15ish threes a game, most of them from 28+ feet away

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Volume shooter on a bad team.

You can get away with being a high usage/volume breh if you're winning (Iverson) and the team clearly needs you to be THAT guy.

Curious how he'd look on a contender or solid playoff team.....

 

[NotAHotep]

Because they stink.

I love seeing the general conversation of basketball observers elevated to the point where there's now mentions of usage rate and player effeciency incredible growth from some of these Coli Basketball Experts over the past few years


But Melo is just a fun player...he's a chucker but the team is also trash and overly rely on him to generate offerense....I'd like to think that he could easily get to a moderate or solid level with his effeciency when the talent on that team improves and they can start to utilize him in different ways....once he starts winning or if he starts winning that's going to unlock so much for his superstardom...the kids love that young nikka

 

[Trojan 24]

Cause they ain't even win 10 games yet

[High quality poster]

Well, I guess you’re talking about it now aren’t you?

 

[Big Boss]
