The Truth
Saw him play some drew league guys today at practice

He didn’t look bad at all, he just looked young af. He wasn’t the only young kid there though. Glad he’s getting those reps but I am gonna need him to put on about 10-15lbs. Some of them are “pros” but nobody recognizeable

Homie definitely thin out there but he wasn’t soft. Some colorstruck nikkas tried that “lightskin” shyt and he ripped dude and dropped him off so thats wassup.

But at 6’8 and soon to be 6’9/6’10, he a lil light.

6'7" PG Shaun Livingston was the #4 pick, skipped college, had no outside shot and was the slowest top HS PG I have ever seen.

LaMelo can go top 3.
& knowing what we know now about shaun.livingston motherfukkers should chill out on the hype.........save the lottery picks for potential stars don't spend it on a role player to bench player*

I mean how much more athletic do you think Ben Simmons is compared to Lamelo?
Simmons ain’t an athletic freak

LaMelo isn't in Ben's league in terms of athleticism. You're talking about a guy who has the rim grazer package at 6'8". Ben is also much stronger

If he was allowed to play in college next season he'd be D1 no question, I don't know about top 3 but being a lottery pick in 2020 is definitely on the table.

He's currently 6'8, a ball handler and can legitimately pass and shoot. I don't think he'll ever be as explosive as Lonzo, but he's already a better shooter and shown an ability to be crafty around the rim and finish better than his brother. Emulating D'Los halfcourt game at Ohio State should be his goal wherever he plays this winter.

Melo tho :leon:

Crispy passing and the long range shot is wet. Dude looked good in transition. This was from today. Medium effort scrimmage at the Drew League.


this is the scrimmage I was talking about

he did well but didn't look like he was going hard. Shot more than I expected of him

Homie literally described that Melo is better than Shaun Livingston was and he was drafted at #4, but you still trying to say he's not worth a lottery pick...

Rim grazer? Breh check out that Drew League video. This motherfukka Melo got a lil dunk pack and some bounce. This isn’t Lithuania. Breh been banging it with ease since Spire.

We gon need to up all of these BBB/Lavar/Melo threads about 1 year from now.
