Imagine if he grew that antetokounmpo body
Can't believe Julian newman didn't get drafted......lmao
Lamelo = real life Tetsuya
Imma say that again, Lamelo will be the biggest top 3 bust past 5 years even more, he cannot drive, he is not athletic at all, he can't absorb contact, he don't like contact, bad Basketball IQ, he can't shoot ( I don't care what anyone have to say ) bad shot selection Lamelo is not a true baller, just a BIG NAME, just like all his brothers, that's why the pistons signed his brother for CLOUT, he didn't play a single game, cut him before the season start
@oof o Hes a clown bruh
@Ab Boss He is a playmaker though. What factors will swing him away into a bust?
@mweeisme we'll see in at the end of his rookie Contract, Jahlil Okafor was Averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds his rookie season Tyreke Evans way averaging 21 points
okay bro
Who counted all ten shots that should been assist lol
The snotty blade basically sip because bankbook possibly apologise around a aggressive gun. daily, soggy ex-husband
8:45 Wth is he talking bout. You dont play defense when playing horse lol
and now he is pick 3 lol
The one question about the ball brothers. Do you have heart to be great in the NBA? Lonzo took a while to get comfortable in the NBA. Let’s see if melo can be a star from the gate.
remember when the lakers pick his brother Carmelo instead of Tatum....
Goat
he need a training camp with luka
This guy is 50/50 bust. Right now he looks like a poor man’s Ben Simmons and we saw what his ceilings are without a jumper.
Here come the media hopping back on the bandwagon
Does anyone know what haircut Lamelo has in the thumbnail?
Wavy Mohawk
Defensive instincts were from playing horse?? 😂😂
lmao his team cant finish
Definitely see flashes of Lebron
I hope the coverage on his areas of improvement brings a solid reality check to his ego and encourages him to work on these weaknesses rather than let them define him. He’s got a lot of unrealized potential but he has the capacity to see it through. I’m eager to see how he develops his game under Jordan’s wing and what heights he’ll be able to reach.
His passing is what u call a legit assist not like Lebron’s easy kick out to 3 pointers 🤣
The amount of dimes that his team mates missed is painful
It's funny to me that Lamelo taller then Lonzo
I think he could be in a top 20 WNBA next season.
I'm sure Mike & Magic got 2 gether on that 1.
Самый обычный игрок, вы в своем уме - первый пик, полное не соответствие, средний игрок, позор если он будет первый номер драфта!
I think Jordan vs lavar might actually happpen
both he and lonzo are projected to be luka.
How many of those dimes these guys are going to miss? Cmon, you guys gotta hit those.
Is not a hang dribble is called a hesi.
Look who he playing against 😂
i predict he’ll average 9.8 apg :) such a great passer
This is a really shitty analysis. So negative.
Lol like 50% of these passes his guys missed. Won't happen in the NBA
Espn paid by lavar family with this title.lol.another bust.just being marketed by lavar.not a balliever.
So his weakness is defense, shooting and finishing around the rim....lol GL in this NBA
Welcome to Charlotte!
"He developed his defensive instincts playing horse in the backyard". ..Wait, what??
Who's here after Lamelo just got drafted 3rd overall by the Charlotte Hornets? 😂
@Matthew Hohenbery wat..
I predicted it Millennial
I predicted it
Luka too
MJ was 3rd as well. Back in the days..
LETS GO HORNETS!!
He averaged 7 assists per game which is pretty good but imagine how many he would average if his teammates could actually finish tho. smh
Melo finna get rookie mvp now😤🎯
Im here cause charlotte drafted him
No matter what he’ll get the help he needs in the nba for what he does lack other than that he’s going to be great!!! He’s a baby he’ll learn gonna be fun to watch him
Here after the Hornets drafted him. 😂
Boring
Another ball buster lmao
The amount of insane assists his teammates couldn’t finish is ridiculous
In he NBA his teammates will be able to knock down open 3s and finish dunks. Well hopefully Kat can. He’s gonna be a great playmaker. But he really needs to fix that jumper.
He just said his defensive instincts came from playing horse in his backyard. LMAO
How much did Lavar pay to put out this video?
I think he is ready now to be bullied by zion.haha
Never heard someone call a hesitation a hang dibble. Smh.
19%. A 1st rounder shooting 19%. What the hype is going on
Shows genius but EVERY pass is no look. NBA players will dial in not watching his eyes and switch to his arms.
WHERE MY HATERS AT? I bet y’all maaaddxxx!!!!!😂🤣😭
Detroit will make a move and take him with the 1st pick..
Haha he sucks.
There are/ will be better guards than lamelo in the NBA so why draft him at top 10. He ain't Kobe, I'd rather sign Rubio if I were GM. He's got potential but it won't translate to the NBA
8:43 Defensive instincts from horse and 21?! Tf he on
Good job buddy
Give him that Westbrook mid range pull up and he’s goat. The pass capability will somewhat trick defenders to play off a bit. Add a pull up and that’s unstoppable
Okay. I’m sold
All Melo has to do is tell his Dad to keep his trap shut and don't make dumb comments like saying Melo is better than Lebron, like he said about Lonzo being better than Stephen Curry........yeah right!
He'll improve more when he get to NBA
his teammates kinda suck. open 3, miss.. layup/dunk, can't finish..
Lavar wants him in Detroit BRING HIM TO DETROIT weve done nothing except fart around in the eastern conference bottom half the last 10 years. Atleast this guy has the real potential to bring us a star. We already gutted the team for a bag of potato chips if hes on the board at 2 give gsw blake and whatever they want outside of future number 1 picks. We lost Markieff, reggie, and Andre already for nothing and Christian wood is a free agent we have nothing to lose
But are you gonna build a team around him?
I’ll pick Melo 1st if I was the wolves . Especially if I was the warriors. Imagine if Steph gets hurt, or even just learning after Steph who is 32years old. Then even sometimes playing Steph, Melo, & Klay on the floor at the same time. Man that’ll be crazy
I think he can play defense, but he's just young, you know most young players don't wanna play defense lol
90 points is intense at any level
So? His weaknesses are his 3, his midrange, and his finishing at the rim...
Those are some major weaknesses. How he gonna be able to even play. 😂😂
He does not have a jump shot. Did you guys know if he is already that bad now it will be worse in the NBA. He will be a horrible free throw shooter just like his bro.
his assists will only go up once he’s in the league and has teammates that can actually finish.
except that he is not consistent on all of you have said about him.
it's all hype just like his brother lonzo.
Weakness: His father.
Highlights Younger brother to Lonzo who is great at hype. Efficiency well hmmmm.. Let's ask Lavar
BALL N1 PICK BUT DONCIC WASNT GOOD ENOUGH FOR TOP 3? LMAOOO
3 pt shooting average too low to be lightskinned
lmfaoooo
He is so fun to watch.
creep radiohead
Pros: Great vision Instinctively aware Above average size for his position Cons: No shot Questionable shot-taking Lacks defense aggression He will go number 3 to the Charlotte Hornets, but he deserves to be a mid-late 1st rounder. The path to his success lies in his willingness to become a better shooter and floor general.
Yow you predicted it
outsidexbox johnlegend tfue
megan thee stallion
He should still be playing ball at the high school level... He's doing great all things considered. This is a literal child playing with and against grown men.
If he keep it up he gone shine Better keep his dad on a short leash cuzz he talk to much
Where's Gelo?
I hope that history does not get repeated for D'Angelo Russell , where a Ball family member it's drafted and then trade him.
Crazy thing about Lamelo is his game has stayed consistent as if hes still 5'2 14 year old playing with 6'6+ 18 year olds. Always having to play with people much bigger and faster growing up he had to find a way to be effective. His game is the exact same except now hes 6'6. Floaters, deep 3's, stop and go, vision, sees the play before it happens...Cons: does a little too much with the ball at times - always try to make THEE play (hes got supreme confidence), bad form in his shots (not consistent), muscle....Really all of those can be fixed though with good NBA training and experience. If he goes to GS you gotta think his development will sky rocket.
He's trash just like his brother , just another waste of money.
0:42 Youngest NBL player to 10 REB? i have to be misinterpreting that right lol? like that is a weird thing to point out
Melo is like the Michael Jackson of Basketball. Father leaving and let a legend take control 💯🔥🔥🔥
Cant help but notice his team os not winning in most clips
His passing look similar to LBJ
Imagine his teammates making their shots? His assist per game will be crazy
vines
Ball or bust again? We'll see, has to distance himself from that pimp dad.
Hmm. Learned defense playing horse...?
Lamelo or Deni for the Bulls.
Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, give him your life he can change everything.
