He's going to be a perennial all star starting in the near future. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. It's okay to admit you missed on a prospect. LaMelo certainly surprised me this year and he's good but I think he's a little overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got back in a rhythm after he came back. Hornets were too young to do anything in the playoffs anyways. They would've got smoked by Philly/Brooklyn lol. Forget never getting in rhythm, he messed his wrist up again in the Pelicans game trying to block someone and hitting on the backboard. After that game his efficiency took a big hit in the last five or so games. But he was as advertised overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 1 minute ago, NYRaider said: Lamelo shot like 24% from 3 and averaged more turnovers than assists in Australia. He had his moments but he put up decent stats on a below .500 team this year. The big thing with him even dating back to HS was taking a lot of bad threes/shots. That wasn't gonna fly in the NBA. But, that's what assistant coaches/development is for. No guy in the draft is a finished product, but Melo has a basketball iq/passing ability that can't be taught. You can teach defense, shot selection, and pack muscle on the dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haliburton with the HM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid makes super flashy/exciting plays. Both him and Edwards may be getting a little overrated rn, but both of them have potential to be future stars in this league.

They were scrambling a lot of the time and like I know the Lakers are the top defense and Grizzlies are a pretty good one too, but still some of those just left me shaking my head.
