He averaged 7 assists per game which is pretty good but imagine how many he would average if his teammates could actually finish tho. smh
Nelson Dendomo facts
Nelson Dendomo big facts!!
11, 12 assist easy!!
Imagine if he had opponents that were actually good?
Nelson Dendomo swear he just gotta grown man configure his shot. Bro got it
We really watched this dude grow up
Celebrities/public figures grow quicker than the average human
Fr
@@altruistic3276 It really does feel like that lol
@@altruistic3276 lol legit
It feels like it was yesterday he scored 90 points
"He really resembles his older brother"
Well... they have the same parents... so...
LMAOOO
Lol
Bro 😂😂😂 i get it but you reminded me of me when im talking to my self
They don't resemble their father though, so...
Mitt Obama lavar was arguably one of the best forwards in college history
Remember people hated on him for scoring 90 points in high school now they using it in his highlights lol
@@atlanta1290 act like nba players dont cherry pick too
Detroit's Reaper Ik I remember when people used to clown him for absolutely everything and anything but now they all fans lol
@@atlanta1290 they didnt stop him though lol
he never even played defense just stood Harcourt and ran when he his team got the rebound
Detroit's Reaper mans a goat now
"Wingspan: N/A"... My boy out here killing it with NO ARMS!
Ezra why can’t they measure his wingspan??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@khian1185 his wingspan is measured it just not available.. ofc they been measurin his wingspan
Legit not funny people actually have to play with no arms
@@riittastina6373 they didnt measured it yet . that why it not available
The most promising Ball brother if he keeps up the grind. Extremely wise decision to spend a year in a competitive professional league, before declaring himself for the draft.
he is overrated AF
david cone jr cry
david cone jr stop lying to urself
david cone jr delusional
david cone jr are you delusional
Imagine making your defender fall twice in a few seconds and dropping it off to your big man for him to miss a dunk
In 2k I would drop him so fast
I just hope he doesnt get targeted by nba players like lonzo did his first year because of lavar
He can take them
R1 yeah melo is more cocky but I don’t get mad at his version because A- he’s been playing up since little so he’s not just talk. Then B- he’s not cursing hella loud being extra. Just simply killing them then telling them they can’t guard him. That can get in someone’s head 😂
hyeboi keep saying that man. Just wait
hyeboi Melo has a ton of upside with his ball handling ability, craftiness, and passing. His shooting will come around and he has shown flashes of being a very solid defender. Everyone said Lonzo was trash just cause he struggled shooting. I’ll admit, the media made him out to be an amazing scorer which he never was. Lonzo has shown amazing improvements this year and I think Melo’s main strengths are being overlooked. Keep doubting him
@hyeboi i tgink your dislike for him is clouding your judgment. IMO
Remember when we would just watch his highlights at chino hills? (At only 13 years old at that) Now he's a possible #1 draft pick in the nba? Dang time flies lol
Bruuuh
It’s crazy
He was playing against Bam & Zach Collins as a freshman
Khalin Davis Almost looks like Zo pressing Full Court😨@2:08, can’t wait for Zo vs Melo 1 on 1😆
Iz dat Rona Virus I feel I've aged 5 years
Remember when Melo couldn’t dunk lonzo would tease him. Look at him now.!!
Teasing always increases drive! You can see it pushed him to practice it and get it in to show up his brother and in the end it worked.
Pretty boy Willie yeee that’s just being a good brother man melo was 6’5 and couldn’t dunk someone needed to push him to get his hips up
lol was thinking the same thing
I feel like Melo will be want Lonzo should've been
Matt Teufel he was 6’2 then
The boy grew a foot in like 2 years. Shooting % gonna suffer until he gets used to it again.
one guy who can fix your shooting is reggie miller! kenny also can help! these are outside nba and their help can be rendered without bias! and kenny has great form as well. both are excellent teacher of fundamentals. steve kerr can also do it but he is with GSW! but you must be a natural shooter. one guy who is not natural shooter but streaky but an intelligent shooter is LBJ! he always gets to his spot before he takes that 3 pointer. And when in mood he can launch from the logo! and of course there is robotic kawhi--who can shoot from 3 as well( these 2 folks have improved over time). PG also can shoot but normally he starts erratically before he picks up, same goes to WB. AD can shoot but he wont take too many shots!
but in the bubble we are discovering some top notch shooters: mitchell--9/13 other day, murray 9/10 other day or something!
and miami shooter! so there are some steph and klay caliber shooters around and coming up thick and fast.
harden can shoot but he takes a lot. oh CP3 is a fine shooter when in groove!
this indiana guy i have no idea where he went. harris of some team can shoot( he was with clev). who else?
His percent was bad be for the growth spurt lol. But it looks mad retry and he confident in it so I think he can shoot 40 from three
@@YardratZ be for? Seriously?
@@malvolio01 I know. Before. You know. Phone keyboards with big thumbs don’t work out so well
@@king_has_no_clothskul8635 nah he need to go to that steph curry shooting camp
I feel like he's capable of playing defense but he rather save his energy for running the offense.
I wonder what position he’s gonna play for the rest of his career. I miss the NBA😓
@@prophecy9521 Probably PG with how the modern NBA is.
Johnny S I mean I feel like he’s capable. He just needs to commit to both ends of the floor
Pistons Talk he played D in Ricos runs
James harden and lamelo ball are literally the same player, great at defense(when they try) but don’t really have the energy for it
Reminds me of a young Lavar Ball.
Top Dawg993 🤣🤣
Kekekekekeke
everybody know young lavar ball was the goat he could beat mj with one hand
Top Dawg993 na he reminds me of flight in may but flight in June is better
Big facts.
This is the type of content I'm looking for when it comes to incoming hyped rookies. I love these scouting reports, more of these for sure.
Ballskeezy !!!!!!
Facts
Ballskeezy thi00is the enenroll, but the most important thing is that the company r
Pfft, they just glossed over that the kid can't shoot even when he's up against inferior defenders. What's he gonna do when teams are daring him to chuck it while locking down his passing options?
It's a horrible scouting report. This kid's got big issues.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq stfu fool and learn the game first...he's only 18 yrs old with mounds of talent...
8:43 Defensive instincts from horse and 21?! Tf he on
bruuuuuuhhh
😂 😂
Lmao how did I not notice this
Marc-Julius Nadeau who tf plays defense in 21 all niggas do is let others play defense bcuz they have to since they don’t want them to win while the other guy get rebounds and horse you can’t play defense
Lol dude was str8 making up stuff bro
He really said he learned defense playing HORSE against his brothers...
I can’t believe all these same Analysts saying he was done and trash are hopping on the bandwagon smh people love to hate on easy targets and switch up when they succeed
Thats what they do
Tori Temple your 100 percent right
Omega _Dank analysts never said he was trash tf? Which ones are you talking about? The comments on Instagram and CZcams are not analysts, that is where everyone was saying he was trash...
Telamon bro do you remember when he was at chino hills they were all talking about how he just got big numbers because lavar let him chuck shots? And said he had absolutely no defence? Now they are all praising him and saying he’s a 1 pick
Telamon and just wait they’ll do the same thing with Gelo now that he’s in the g league and already got to the g league squad
This man said he picked up defensive instincts playing HORSE in the backyard?? Was this like varsity HORSE?
laughed so hard man
I’m dead
Bruh I swear I was about to post that
LOL
Probably in that house hold lmfao lonzo still be bullying lamelo😂
He has such great vision and feel for the game just hopes he finds the right situation for his game because not every team will aid his development the same
I hope he does really well, prove any haters wrong. We have all been watching him grow up.
Imagine how many assists he would have if his teammates could actually score...
• e d g a r •
Ikr? Dude would be a fkn monster lol
Imagine pretending your better than an NBL player
That gonna change in the NBA bc guys are more efficient shooting over 40 percent
Stfu. Hes gna be no better then lonzo. And that's mediocre
Lachie E saying a fact isn’t saying he’s better. The fact is they can’t score. Because he’s not better than them doesn’t make them score any more
His teammates on this team are constantly selling him out, they're missing easy layups like a bad junior high team
Brenton Sailor nbl isn’t bad, just his team
@@sadenuttie2234 I agree.
The guy can do all of this and he's also 6ft 8in!! Looking forward to watching him in the NBA.
I'm emotional this morning but with all the b.s. that surrounded this family I'm happy for this kid rising up
Nah more than likely his defensive instincts came from the fast paced intense full court defense he played at chino hills
Well they surely didn't develop playing horse and 21 who plays defense playing horse or 21?
Westbrookthegoat #42 he was NOT playing defense at chino hills AT ALL. That was like his biggest weakness
so many people don’t get this is a joke🤦♂️
@@zeroapologies4653 what are you talking about, they full court pressed all game long.. He lacked in half court defense because he could get away with it
I was wondering why they barely mentioned that
I knew Lamelo was a superstar when he was a freshman dominating against elite seniors. What a player⭐️
It was their style of play.... that let him flourish... if he was at Chino by himself without his brothers I believe he wouldn’t have been great...
King Cation he still would of had Onyeka Okongwu who’s about to be a top 10 pick too.
I remember everybody saying he wasn’t making it to the nba😂😂😂
Won't last
Chet Upson Lol ok Chet
@@chetupson8714 lmao... "won't win without his brother" -> "won't win in highschool against real competition" -> "won't survive against college players" -> "won't make it to the NBA" -> "won't last"

@@jumpman3210 bruh
Who's here after Lamelo just got drafted 3rd overall by the Charlotte Hornets? 😂
Right I wanted to see what to used to draft him so high I haven't seen nothing of him playing lmao
MJ was 3rd as well. Back in the days..
Luka too
I predicted it
I predicted it Millennial
Ngl I was just watching how his teammates missed 80% of the layups 😂😂
Teammates is trash can horrible easy finish but blows gawd awful
Lmao I remember watching videos about “Why Lamelo ball won’t make the nba”
6:50 I’m sold.... Sign me up 😂🤣🤣
Is it just me who watchedtheir whole show on Facebook? That thing had me in tears?
Goodluck Melo
A fast paced offense would be a perfect fit for him. Like Lonzo and the pelicans
Beetle Juice golden state
@@AliMohamed-yq4wn golden state does not need a guard
pelicans need to trade brandon ingram to whoever drafts him for his draft rights
bangsbangz they can trade him for more pieces
The pelicans do have like 5 first round picks
6:52 His guy couldn’t finish after amazing play
Fun Fact: That's Josh Boone. Used to play for the Nets in the NBA.
he got fouled
99TJS1 ahh nice
The Last Ryder LMAOOOO
airballed a dunk
Who’s watching this after the lottery picks went in!!?
Me lol
Me
Can't wait to see him playing against Zo bro.
King D' I’d say lamelo is gonna be with the warriors since the Timberwolves has dload so I doubt they’ll play each other much since he’s coming off the bench for curry
Me squishy
I’m happy your knowledge of aus ball players was passable shows you have done research beyond just lamelo
He said he got his defensive instincts from playin HORSE smh 🤦🏾♂️
he did man on loc😂
No he meant that he got his instincts from being the youngest of the Ball brothers, he likely started the youngest and had to D up his older brothers, train up with them, and held to a higher standard. He witnessed their journey and saw where his brothers could improve on, there might be some truth to it idk
And 21 in the backyard
IVEY 96 he most def said that
@@darkangels119 kid we heard what the man said...
I remember he was not even supposed to be drafted😂
Nope i believe that melo would be playing in the nba oneday .. It was a shocker for me tbh that he would go to be a peojected top pick in this year draft .. Top 3 is very reasonable pick for whoever teams gonna pick him .. He is the most talented out of the 3 bros .. Gonna need to improve in his defensive though to be a legit future star ..
Hes only #1 because march madness hasn't started ...that's where you see the best players
Lebron James about that...
@@lebronjames7041 well i know its important to be on the ncaa tournament to see evry single aspirant potential but its also better to play pro internationally .. Look at doncic, played overseas at young age and now he is tearing the nba by storm becoming one of the best player in the nba .. Melo has been ballin since 4yrs old up to this point and playin internationally .. I hope he improves his defense this kid got talent ..
Lebron James You obviously know nothing about what’s been happening this year. For one, Lamelo has been ranked as a top 3 prospect for a very long time and it should be obvious that he is simply more talented than everybody else + has most professional experience. And secondly, he’s playing in a professional league, not collegiate. And he dominated (before his injury)
Really proud of Melo. All those criticisms that are thrown at him definitely gave him the motivation. Look at him now, keep working young blood!!!
honestly an incredible analysis
My man said horse helped his defensive instincts 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah how that work?
Thought I was the only one who caught that 😂😂
Bro had me questioning my knowledge of Horse.
Swear this dude just copy/pasted sentences he saw on lamelo articles, then added in his limited knowledge of basketball. No actual analyst would have said that lol
@@magnumxlpi That's funny I didn't catch that, had to rewatch. When he said it I thought of monkey in the middle cuz he said "being the youngest of 3 brothers"
He needs to outbest his oldest brother Lonzo, in my eyes, he's definitely No. #1.
He doesn't need to he's already better
How much better is that? As long as you know Lonzo was between top 5-10 in overall stats for March. He figured it out. LaMelo and his attitude towards coaching is very, very, very far away from that level.
dolo. shaun How is he already better than one of the best defenders and passers in the league, I’m confused how that thought crossed your mind
@@michaele.918 doesnt matter wins matter and you 0nly win when you are scoring point gaurd in todays league true pg's dont win chips he will have more success then him given the right team
Wyr see ANT or LaMelo paired up with trae
Once his jump shot gets right he’s gonna be lethal.
U can’t be serious
When he stops thinking he has to carry the team, that's when he'll be lethal.
He does have to carry his team every assist he tried to get they missed
Plus he’s not even 17 here
lethal.
6:52 I would be so pissed if I were LaMelo and the teammate missed like that
Arimode seriously
That's why on his anger he bought the whole team and he is now the owner.
Imagine if he's thinking all this time: "Yeah, just keep missing shots from my assists, mfker. You'll be traded once I bought this team."
Proves how ur a stat padder
Arimode if you watched the full highlight in his reel it shows him with a mad face and he throws up his hands
Lebron James technically he’s not he just wouldn’t want the entire thing to get ruined
Dad was smart making him play in Europe building his strength and confidence playing against men.
U meant Australia
That was Melos decision, lavar wanted him in China
NSSN NSSN both cuz he played in Europe before aswell
"should he become a more consistent 3pt shooter" kid was pulling from half as a freshmen
Consistent means making them.
Noah Masrour he shoots 19%
lol consistent means able to keep hitting threes and having a decent percentage not hitting halfcourt threes😂
Fultz was a decent shooter in college, but somehow he forgot how to shoot after he got to the NBA lol
Daniel xiong he shoots 27 %
Holy ish.... This kid is amazing... Can't wait to see him in the NBA...
yo I've been really impressed with Lamelo. ngl I was sleeping on him a lil back in the chino hills and Lithuania days but he's really refined his craft and gotten to a point where ppl are taking him seriously.
He’s tailor made for the league. He’s gonna be a instant superstar. I just hope he helps his Pops bring back BBB. I get a kick out of Lavar shutting people up.
He'll be with nike soon enough lol
He’ll be the same as Lonzo Ball which is not an instant superstar.
It seems like most of his issues are about his selection and discipline. It's not that he can't play defence, it's IF he focuses on defences he'll be great. It's not that he can't shoot, it's IF he learns to choose the right shots, he'll be a threat. It's not that he can't finish in traffic, it's that he gets either too fancy or doesn't use his size (muscle will help). I think he's got so much potential and he's the best player in this draft. We've seen Lonzo change and i think he can too!
Haider Moh. That’s what stands out with Melo, all of his “flaws” are easily fixable. You could fix them literally within a few months.
I agree totally. Not sure how easy it would be to fix, but all his issues can def be fixed!
That's a lot of issues to fix
He's got an insanely ugly shot, that is for sure. He shoots 3's like a kindergartner.
AllDayEveryDay It’s going to be easy to fix , remember this is his first real structure in professional ball nd look how great he is now. By the time his rookie season is done he’ll be a top guard in the league mark my words .
Amazing kid. Good luck, La Melo.
That was a very informative video
Don’t join the bandwagon now. Y’all should stay in ur lane BBB
facts where was they a few yrs ago
@@akaeyyy9114 watching lonzo fall apart in prime time, and the other brother that won't ever get in the league.
Im not joining any bandwagon. Still not a fan of any Ball brother.
@@jonathanjacobs1870 gelo is in the G league rn tho, stop hating on people who are more succesfull then you my guy
@@hennyreacts1008 not hating just being honest. Hopefully this ball brother is actually a star unlike the other 2.
Guess who groom lamelo and lonzo to play defense like that ? Lavar
Lonzo plays outstanding defense. So Is this an insult or a compliment?
Martin Da GOAT compliment
Who taught gelo to steal tho? Ba dum tss...
4hejejhe Jt4jh44h nice one
Melo defense is trash, he's one of the worst PnR defenders in his league, this guy wouldn't tell you that though.
this is some quality ESPN content!
What an amazing analysis
6”8 point guard that has a feel for the game you can’t teach sorry he’s the 1 pick haters
@Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 what about the other qualities??????
Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 yo breath hot dookie
Melo simp
Gregory Sutton hes 6’5
Th3Aggr3ssiv3 Cons3rvativ3 His jump shot isn’t terrible it’s just his selection which will be fixed in the nba.
The craziest thing about Melo is mostly everything he doing is just off instinct, he doesn't even give it a thought and he just plays in the moment. Such natural talent, he was literally born 2 Ball. His hard work has definitely payed off, he deserves to be number 1
#1
facts !!! he was born 2 ball
The fact that Melo even got to average 7 assists with his teammates missing open shots like that should really show how talented he is. If he is doing that in the NBA, he'd easily average over 12 assists. Overall, he got the skill and the length, he just needs the discipline and he will be dangerous.
Reminds me of Fultz the way he moves so fluid with the ball
Uh oh
If he gets drafted to a team with a coach and guard who can teach him the game he will be alright and can surpass lonzo within his first two years in the league
Mark Teague he gone be a lil better don’t sleep on zo tho
Khari Deal i like Zo. It was good he got traded, his game is still developing and i like how he doesn’t sleep defensively. He just don’t stay aggressive enough to me
If that’s his glass ceiling, that’s not saying much. Lonzo is average.
King Eric it was more so a slight at lonzo not him. I think it’s only fair to compare him to his brother and make that the first bar to surpass. But i agree lonzo is average, i thought he was going to be way better
lonzo already looks better with a decent coach and an actual shooting coach
Lamelo will be all good.
Ball Facts ffaaaaccccctttttssssss!!
Faaaaaaaaaaaaactzzz
Don't know but he fit to GSW type plays.
Just saying
Gsw doesnt need back court. They also dont run p&roll so how are they gonna fit in a pass first player
GSW is most likely getting Wiseman. Best fit
fightnight14 and u were correct👍
cus he lightskin lmaao
This was a great breakdown
gonna be too nice if he keeps developing hope he gets a good opportunity to be a starting pg like ja and trae
Tony Dinh I would like to see it but his not shooting very well rn he needs to figure it out quick it’s only months til he’ll play a real NBA game
Underrated comment . If they would’ve given Lonzo the playing time, development time and control they gave Trae , Ja, and Luka he would’ve been playoffs . Instead they played him in a way that causes injuries
@@elizahko8594 Lonzo is trash compared to Doncic, Trae, and Ja. He got into the league with a broken jump shot, he also can't finish well around the rim.
Coronavirus
@Ryan Williams Lamelo doesn't have the size and strength of Simmons, he also doesn't have the same Defense, more in fact, he isn't a better passer.
Lavar did a great job with his boys. People wanna hate on Lavar but he knew what he was doing. Lonzo is so fun to watch and in my opinion one of the best playmakers in the NBA. I think Melo will be very successful in the league.
iv honestly been watching him since he was a freshman.. ngl one of my favorite players rn is Ja Morant and watching them both play i see alot of the same game. Not enough to say theyre the same player but both so creative and exciting in the same light to lead a team
No matter what he’ll get the help he needs in the nba for what he does lack other than that he’s going to be great!!! He’s a baby he’ll learn gonna be fun to watch him
Anyone who passes on him will regret it. He has elite passing, iq, playmaking skills, handles, creativity etc. His nbl coach said it was his first time ever playing structured basketball so his downsides mentioned will be easily fixed with nba training and coaching🔥 were looking at a star
That's what everyone always says about any decent young prospect tho "if he can only....." But it ain't that easy to be great in the nba
Chel MG yes of course but you can say that about any player in this draft. I would take him 1 just because of his upsides. And I mention about his downsides because I think they’re easily fixable: the reason he’s sloppy on defence is because the first time he’s ever been pressured to play defence was in the nbl (only 12 games) so of course he’s still learning and can easily improve with more time, and shot selection is something they can easily work and help him with watching film and just educating him. Melos downsides are a result of poor and inconsistent coaching so that’s why I’m not worried at all.
@@maxlewis6420 I think if he fixes his weaknesses he can be a slightly better Lonzo which is good but not great, he might get taken first but that's because this draft is weak af
6:49 He dropped him twice🤣🤣
Beacause there were the stickers
Nicola Doro what
And then his man couldn’t even finish it
Love or him, or hate him he has improved so much over the past few years and continues to improve
I hope the coverage on his areas of improvement brings a solid reality check to his ego and encourages him to work on these weaknesses rather than let them define him. He’s got a lot of unrealized potential but he has the capacity to see it through. I’m eager to see how he develops his game under Jordan’s wing and what heights he’ll be able to reach.
Gotta get his “man body” as Lavar called it,not that athletic or quick not the quickest trigger so it’s lookin like his game is IQ and being where he’s supposed to be
TwArDxL IQ and height
Man for his height, he is pretty quick.
@@jadeburigsay7042 6 8 and nimble af, he got length , if he do some boingvert he can get that zo vert lol
lets be honest tho. when he knocks down those 30 footers or has a fancy layup those are crowd pleasers and the nba is a business and entertainment industry. whatever gets people to pay that’s what they want
Ok?
Quentin G want a cookie lmao
Peter 888 stfu
This boy's a hype job, agree with you 100%
haters? what are u 30 yr old guys with no names and no accomplishments??? yea doubt u can even dribble lmfao 😂😂😂
Last years draft and this years draft is great despite the bad times we are going through
Beautiful. Father deserves more credit in having the vision for His sons. Audience, Father's always know best and are to be listened to. LaMelo is a young player who will get better and better as a mature player and better Coaches.
Remember he does that floater and shoots deep bc he used to being small give him time and he gone be right💯
Sheesh 🥶 bruh this foo has great dimes but these bums in this league can’t make anything
Great Content!
Can we get more of these videos for every top prospect instead of the virtual film sessions please?! 😩
Feels like I group up with the dude lmao, been following since he his first year at Chino
ThotKing 36 facts bro same age and everything
Melo Ball- The Best Out of the Three Ball Brothers💯
That's what I keep hearing.
Rovic Alcaide *most talented. He not in the league yet so the best is still Lonzo
Gelo is the best ball brother..
Lonzo is way better right now with his experience. Lamelo will have to fix his shift form and adapt to Nba Playstyle just like his brother had to do. Also his brother is a lot better defensively.
@@theicecreamguy8290 Gelo is trash. Everytime I see someone say this I know they don't know a thing about basketball.
He can be an amazing offensive player in the NBA. Humble kid who has gotten a LOT better and will continue to as well. On the other hand he's going to be a serious liability on defense off the jump, but has the athleticism and length to turn himself into a solid defender with time. I like LaMelo.
He is so fun to watch.
His mustache is G League.
Lmao
Lol
Here come the media hopping back on the bandwagon
DKM lmao knew you was gonna comment
you were one of the first to call it and i never disbelieved in him. it's funny how narrative is as important as talent
@@1k2ngmpr
He's telling the truth. I was glad when Lonzo Ball washed out under rated wasted 1rd pick because of his big mouth daddy and the media. Now got to hear again because the media will allow it
Andrew Johnson why you glad a young player “washed out” because of something his daddy said. It’s not like lonzo was doing all the talking lmao
@@isaiahmcgee4 he probably mad his dad never supported him like lavar does
Nice breakdown overall
Pros:
Great vision
Instinctively aware
Above average size for his position
Cons:
No shot
Questionable shot-taking
Lacks defense aggression
He will go number 3 to the Charlotte Hornets, but he deserves to be a mid-late 1st rounder. The path to his success lies in his willingness to become a better shooter and floor general.
Yow you predicted it
@@johnkarloroxas3759 Thank you, Brother. First time back here, LaMelo is having great success. Crazy to see how many people have more likes than me though 😆
@@matthewhohenbery2287 I think you didn’t get the likes you deserve because you said he deserves to be a mid round pick and he’s looking like a generational talent.. Otherwise you were spot on.
@@ScottieDrippenDefinitely skilled but Tyrese Haliburton and Tyrese Maxey might turn out to have better overall careers and availability.
@@matthewhohenbery2287how there older and have worse stats on better teams
I miss watching Melo play. I can’t wait for the draft.
Kid can be Great, he's just gotta want it, and play within the Game, that Defense, and jacking three's without running the offense is not gonna cut it, He has great potential though...
I can’t wait for him to be in the nba
The value of a good, dedicated, demanding father.
2:52 “Illawarra’s ageing bigs have cost Ball quite a few assists.” C’mon man j say his teammates are trash💀🤣
In an era where scoring is key this young man can provide immediate effect for any team in the NBA
Yess respect my son melo came a long way
“defensive instincts from horse”😂😂😂 i don’t know how this guy is a basketball analysis he’s obviously never played
Makes everything he said unbelievable...if he said that in the beginning of the video I wouldn't have watched it
Imagine if the Pelicans would get LaMelo. 2 Ball brothers with Zion would be legit.
the REALIST and what if they pick up liangelo. Me and lavar say that would be a dynasty!!😂
Championship contender in 2 years tops lol
this man just used a per 40 minutes stat to hype up his rebounding abilities...
same as college😬
4:26 mark Floor Spacing in the middle of the paint, AWESOME.
He gonna be a superstar
