[tlongII]

I am not impressed with Lamello.

I am not impressed with Lamello.

Me either, but he is only 16.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

A HS kid who has been compared to a combination of Larry Johnson and Shawn Kemp. Guy is a beast.

Kemp does have 17 illegitimate kids...

Really? I watched most of the second half and he was amazing. I mean, dude is obv a diva who doesnt play any defense, or with any effort, but he is next level gifted as a scorer. The game looks too easy for him to be 16.

Defense is about extra effort and winning. Offense is where the money and glory is. No surprise most talented players choose offense.

I would even throw in Harkless to get this done

Hey now...

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

LaMelo's range is crazy. He's like Durant x Curry.

 

[tlongII]

He's too small. Even for a 16 year old.

 

[dviss1]

On my lunch watching a bit of this. LaMelo looks like trash after the 1st 2 plays.

[Minstrel]

36 points on 27 shots vs. 31 points on 16 shots. LaMelo Ball has the developed game of a chucker many years older!

LaMelo

He was probably chucking things since he was eating Gerber.

What are you talking about Zags....they ARE kids.

Damn, 27 shots in a high school game. Don't they play something like 8 minute quarters. Obviously, his brother is the one that got the passing gene.

BNM

It's all parenting

Seriously though, based on the clip I saw of his dad coaching his team a while back, exactly what I'd expect.

 

[Reep]

Even though I didn't like marsh lamelo's shot, and he couldn't finish strong at the rim, he does have nice handles for his age. Weight training will really help.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

How is LaMelo Ball the number 8 prospect in his class? Lol

 

[THE HCP]

This is a good read. Guy is a beast. LJ meets Blake Griffin maybe?

Of course.

I think he's more Aaron Gordon than anything.

*A less skilled version of Aaron Gordon.

Gotta love to go back and read the INSTANT HATE for literally NO reason. Nothing better than a collection of self anointed basketball experts huh?

You’re gonna bring this when we’re 2 games into the season? Really?

No you can look at his last two seasons numbers if you like. Why are you being negative? Were you one of the people hating on the 16 year old kid?

Yeah I think he was a 6’7 PG his freshman year.
Just surprised how quickly people( not necessarily you) are so quick to hate….. for NO reason.
