That shyt was weak. The competition was absolutely terrible, in fact you see during the game footage that there was rarely a set halfcourt defense.

The game was a cherry picking, disorganized ymca type game where both teams are just running up and down the court throwing shots up.
LaMelo would've struggled scored 20 tonight against any top 25 HS team. Dude is still a little frail sophomore in highschool who isn't an elite athlete nor has an elite skill set at this point, everyone on that trash ass team that let him drop 92 should be ashamed, quit playing ball and focus on other sports/hobbies.

This tweet basically sums it perfectly.


I think it says more about his coaching staff.. I probably hate the word "class" more than anyone, but at the HS level, why is the coach allowing him to be in the game, cherry picking, shooting fadeaway 3s when ur up 40 points :gucci:

The opposing coach should've had one of his goons elbow that baige cac in the mouth

he's no dajuan wagner thats for sure

the fact that this kid has so much hype out of high school and he's only a sophomore speaks volumes, I honestly havent seen this much hype since lebron james.. he gonna have a lot of expectations to meet in 3 years:mjpls: I honestly cant see the style of play his teams play which are basically coached by his dad translate into a more organized setting like college

hows he gonna score when he realizes he cant basket hang and cherry pick:mjgrin: dudes gonna try to go at him crazy in the upcoming years as he faces more elite competition

They do nothing but cherry pick and let the other team score. 92 is a lot of points but it's the product of a gimmick.

Melo has a long, long way to go before ever being what people think he's gonna be but he did drop 36 (in a losing effort) on Oak Hill the other day. A lot of it was transition but he looked decent in spots.

before i saw the stat sheet i literally thought the starting lineup was....

PG LaMelo Ball
SG LaMelo Ball
SF LaMelo Ball
PF LaMelo Ball
C LaMelo Ball

dudes in summer league don't even get that much of a green light :dead:

I watched one of their games for the first time the other day.


It's the Ball brothers chucking 3's & filler.

Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of that team consisted of actors....on some Disney channel shyt

LaMelo mildly talented, but the other brother basically chucks about 25 3's from the same spot... all game.
