People weren't paying attention to him much, but Cooper Flagg's teammate has top 10 pick potential as well.

so his kid looks like he is already a forward’s height and he already developed Gilbert’s handle?
shyt two years from now some team gonna eat.
Imagine he's actually three years away and he's already competitive with multiple year pros and all stars. He's just entering his junior season.

Pretty wild a 17-year-old from Mexico put up a statline like that against an NBA team. Rated as the best foreign prospect for 2026.
Kid is basically an insane shooter and crafty scorer/passer and is already playing in a pro league.

Another thing too, NBA players/coaches kids are getting top tier training for basically free 
And at any time that’s convenient for them.
They don’t even have to make it fit in their schedule cause they pops got it.
Imagine being 16 and your dad tells you to pull up and run with Westbrook, Jrue, DBook, Mikal Bridges, etc.

Is he half black?

I think he's full Mexican.
Those look like his parents and sister:
If anything, the mother looks kind of Armenian (I know someone who looks like her).
Their dad was on Mexico's Men's National Basketball team. Again, simply another rich kid with a lot of professional resources:
A lot of this shyt is starting to be a lot of nepotism.

Nepotism is a good thing. You’re supposed to put your children in the best position to succeed. Stop glorifying fatherlessness and broken homes.

Never said it was bad though. Simply explaining what the world is starting to look like and this just ain't for basketball either.
This is why people need to be smart about who they choose though as well.
Nepotism is good for the family benefitting from it, not good for society as a whole. Nobody’s saying they’d rather have broken homes, that’s an extreme reach
This board loves to glorify black generational wealth until they actually see what real black generational wealth looks like. Then y’all wanna complain about rich kids, nepotism, and “trench babies”.
We’ve come a long way from NBA players going broke and after 5 years out the league. Now we got NBA players building multi-generational dynasties.
We’re not going back.

Lopez game looks extremely polished for a 17-year old.

The kid we’re talking about isn’t even Black
The larger conversation on this topic throughout multiple threads is about how increasingly expensive youth basketball continues to get and how it’s caused players who have rich parents and/or parents that were former pros to have an even more of a leg up than they already had
Discussing the potential negative consequences of that for the sport isn’t being against Black generational wealth or wanting to see more players go broke or kids grow up without fathers. If you can’t see that then idk what to tell you
