Why is no one talking about LaMelo averaging 29 and 7?

Finally broke out? He already made an All-Star team before.

He's always hurt and the Hornets are 8-27 right now. That's why nobody's talking about him... despite him being one of the top vote getters for All-Star Weekend.

:what:


That was good when Iverson and TMac was playing. nikkaz taking 25+ shots shooting low 40% from the field ain’t it no more.

Iverson 2001-2002 season averaged 28 shots per game on 39% shooting and 29% from 3.

If they can get another top pick in this draft. Miller, Williams, and him could be good moving forward. Depends on coaching and health of course.

He currently has the 5th highest USG rate of all time and is shooting the ball 25 times a game on below league average efficiency.

Nothing about his season is impressive. If you shoot the ball at a historic rate like he's doing, you're going to put a lot of points.
Facts, and this can also be applied to quite a few cats in the league, some more apparent then others :sas2:

Volume shooter on a bad team.

You can get away with being a high usage/volume breh if you're winning (Iverson) and the team clearly needs you to be THAT guy.

Curious how he'd look on a contender or solid playoff team.....
Won’t happen imo with his current play style. I said it before but he isn’t a winning player. Reminds me of Poole just low basketball IQ & not someone who can lead winners.

He’s very entertaining tho. For all the slack other players get for not playing defense & other flaws LaMelo stay getting a pass
