I don’t get it but sure. His jumper is as iffy Lonzo’s with similarly bad form and he’s a bad defender. He’s tall for a ball handler and a good/smart offensive player. But he’s a late lotto type of prospect imo

Build the hype. How is this related to the Lakers anyways? Shouldn't this be in the trash bin discussion somewhere?

Wouldn't it be funny if LaMelo became the only Melo people talk about when they use the name "Melo?"

I like melo,... but I don’t honestly see this. I’m with KIROE. He’s always felt more like 10-14 range with the possibility of falling to late teens early twenties. He’s got plenty of potential, but he’s not really what I would call a leader or floor general. Not a lot of in between game,.. too much flash.

NOW! If you could mix Melo and Zo?! That’s would be a the best pg in the game.

Unlike the other 2 this kid is a basketball player. I see him as the next nick young with some playmaking.

Also, Cole Anthony is the clear #1 pick right now. Melo's more in the #3-5 range.

Another hyped up Ball...

Haven't seen him play in a while. Has his athleticism improved? That's the biggest difference between him and Zo.

LeMelo will be in the 1st round mix but not #1. I wish him nothing but the best.

Better work on that defense though. Lavar aptly named him Melo

Staccatos · Star Player Joined: 16 Jul 2002 Posts: 2416

I wouldn't mind the Lakers drafting him with the #30 overall pick.

Says more about the state of the college game than it does ball’s game...
