That's shocking to me. I wouldn't use a second round pick on this guy, tbh.

No Fucking Way.. Big Bro Sucks. Middle Bro could not dominate in a High School Gym.. And Daddy is a media hogging lunatic.. Plus no College ball.
He will seriously be lucky to get drafted..

Yeah and he is not going to College
SO I have no idea where he is going to fit in with the other top 1 and done guys coming out? Playing in a handpicked overseas league so he can look pretty good.. And Daddy is such a problem..

Yea, Lamelo may have had an outside shot at developing if he didn't f*ck UCLA up. I don't see it going forward though.
There's no need to keep going back to that well. It was empty the 1st time.
He's one of those annoying players that is more interested in looking cool out on the court than actually winning. It's cool to pull up from halfcourt but it's not cool to get back on defense. Probably learned it from his dumbass older brother except Melo took it a step further and doesn't play defense like his big bro.
He does look less wimpy and his athleticism has improved though. He was struggling to dunk despite being 6-5 not that long ago. He might be worth a late pick as a project, let an NBA development program work on his body for 2-3 years. Definitely not a Top 5 guy though. :lol

I don't know if he will be very good.
But he does have first round talent.
I hate his spoiled attitude... And lazy defense. But his shot and handle are better than his brother. His dad is a negative. But he is probably a late first rounder without the baggage... With it tho I would hesitate to draft him

he looks like a strictly worse lonzo tbh... same broken jump shot, not nearly as disciplined in his game, less twitchy athlete, and not a good defender.
he's also just 17... but looks way premature to be an NBA draft pick. dude really could have benefitted from 3-4 years of college ball. at this point he's going to have to settle for rising through the G-League

read the comments, brutal.
Don't know if he is trying to appease his new black friend, the in the lab guy, or what.
It's comical, just as they comment about his "vision" and "football passes" the second one gets easily stolen.
They go ape shit over a missed dunk.
Make no commentary on the numerous bricks with horrible "ball family form" as he clanks brick after brick(and coach nick is a shot doctor) he just goes along within the lab guys talk of "flow."
Then he as they talk about his DEFENSE the BALL fouls out early on the way to many reach-ins that had NO way of being good.
Oh, in the lab guy even acknowledges Ball has "no fundamentals" but goes back to the mysterious "flow" (must be lime mediachorines)
The crux of their justification is "he is better than Lonzo was at this age"
OBLIVIOUS to how horrible Lonzo has been as a pro
Yea Coach Nick cucking hard on this one.

The Stepien says he's got a chance to be really good as well. https://www.thestepien.com/2019/07/25/draft-notes-heuristics-love-lamelo-ball/
I definitely see a potentially good player. He's got a little of Lonzo's broken jumper - right hand on the left side of his face - but nowhere near as much. If Lonzo could shoot (even halfway decent), he'd be a valuable player. Lamelo's form isn't consistent, but not many 17 year olds are... Get the kid a decent shooting coach, should work out in time.
He's a flashy passer, but not bad at it.
Physically, Lamelo is taller than Lonzo, and the Ball's all have positive wingspans... The kid is 17 - he's skinny now, he'll grow into his body.
He's not a top candidate to me, but a first rounder easily. The single worst thing about him as a prospect is his relatives...

Not really. The middle one was a jackass who cherry picked and didn't try on defense too. People make the mistake of thinking that because he was a more limited player (3s and post-ups) that he tried harder/was more humble than his more talented brothers which was really never the case.
His shooting form isn't as ugly as his brothers' but that's about all he has going for himself, tbh.

I think top 5 is a bit high..
But you guys are silly if you dont think he is worth a first, when dudes who can't shoot or foreign players with wingspan and potential who haven't done shit get picked there all the time.
It will be up to Ncaa stars and this year foreign prospects to move him down. Otherwise he may be top 20 at least, even factoring his pops.

I don't understand how this guy is being ranked so highly. He had awful shooting percentages in Lithuania and Australia-- he shoots about 25% from three and his overall FG% is below 40%. Almost every scouting report says his defense is generally poor. Seems like a huge risk to waste a lottery pick on.

No, not saying he is better than manboob. But there's a reason why manboob's percentages are not as good as Ainge or many other players - he takes plenty of bad shots. I mean seriously, I love Luka but he needs to either greatly improve his shot or stop shooting so many bombs per game. Save those wack-azz, Harden-esque step back threes for the final possession of a tied game and pray that trash goes in.

Harden relies too much on 3-point chucking. If he wants to succeed in the playoffs, he needs to learn some post moves and shoot from mid-range a little bit.
