How Good is LaMelo Ball, ACTUALLY?

[@shakiid7]

after watching the entire vid i just realized how talented this guy really is the fact that his game is so raw and unpolished and he's still an all star that's how much potential he's got

[@Turtrain]

I love LaMelo's passing so much, definitely my favorite part of his game. Can't wait to see him grow and mature into an amazing point guard

[@shakiid7]

ya when it comes to scoring i feel like melo is back to the age where he was the shortest ball brother and that's why he's so used to taking floater instead of making contact first as the attacker. i think he also doubts the strength of his ankles against stronger defenders. he need to work on unorthodox finishes that the defense is not ready for if he's not going to get stronger

[@jasonweiss3160]

The best breakdown of Lamelo. Honest and fair.

[@vedantgupta2145]

Such a high quality video bruh

[@roborob7878]

This was an amazing breakdown of his game. Probably best analyzation on YT. Great work.

[@user-of7jx8fn8q]

He just gotta stay healthy. Should easily be an all star this year!

[@twenty3_v777]

Should if Charlotte decides to get some actual names beside him

[@friction5001]

@@twenty3_v777 kinda hard for them to trade for some decent players with their current assets

[@anthonymalcolmcalan]

Hell nah. He’s not even a top 5 PG in the eastern conference. Dame, Halliburton, Brunson, Holiday, and Cade are all better than him. I think he’s in the same class with Trae Young.

[@user-of7jx8fn8q]

I agree. But all-star is about stats and Melo can (but hasn't so far) put up crazy stat lines @@anthonymalcolmcalan

[@kevintalley1158]

Melo used to them early days when he was smaller than everyone else there was no absorbing contact and being this big physical guard he had to go around u and float it over u in order to score 😂 I think he still got that mentality

[@vonpearsom712]

Great video

[@prettytony9237]

Great video you definitely study the game 🤝

[@VaporFox25]

Long time Charlotte pro basketball fan. Ya nailed it. Just praying he has the maturity to grow in those weaknesses.

[@jakerobloxx]

Well i like lamelo because it makes me feel special, i can rarely shoot when i try to do layups when someone would go infront of me, and i can barely score

[@sadburner4046]

He scored 92 points in high school, he has a different perspective of this game on and off the court, he sees weaknesses others don’t he’s confident, and put his reps in. The more he commits time into this game the better he’ll become

90 in HS translates to 30 in NBA

[@oneautumnleaff2119]

i think a healthy LaMelo with the drive to be the best could be the best, i just feel like he doesnt really want that though, he just wants to play and do his thing which is partly why he is one of my favorite players in the League.

[@Hughmanity80]

Great job bruh! Great truth

[@yayvey]

3:13 vintage? Like, highschool?

[@Gracchi]

its his passing, iq, he was doing the same passes, when he was tiny tbh., you should check out, Jamal's Crawford , breakdown of his game, " best passer in the nba, in the last decade or two"

[@Slimbrodie67]

He's a good player and going to get better

[@kimjonghyun3471]

The very moment bro gets even an average finishing game he is a superstar. His 3 pt shot is lowkey close to elite if u factor in difficulty of his 3 pt shots

[@ifheavenwashuman]

Can you examine Trae Young's game? The blend of passing savvy, and his explosive scoring ability make him one of the most dynamic talents in the league.

[@SG_2_7_12]

the goat

[@Matts_Crafty]

let me ask you a question, where did you play ball besides 2k? That what I thought?

[@stevenfaults4160]

🔥🔥Hall of Famer for sure

[@thomasjarrett1042]

LaMelo is a super star,his only weakness is stay healthy. Other than that LaMelo has no weaknesses. Every team could use his services,thats why the Hornets spent the most money they spent in the history of the Hornets just to keep LaMelo.

[@jasonweiss3160]

Bruh. Did you not watch the video? If you think he has no weaknesses, then you don’t really understand basketball.

[@thomasjarrett1042]

@@jasonweiss3160 yes, I saw the video in it's entirety, so what is wrong what I said?

[@carefulumightwakeher2719]

could you do a breakdown on myles turner?

[@thekidshere6955]

For sure

[@Sevenfifty8]

Lamelo chooses the runner because it actually takes a lot less effort and a lot lesss energy remember lemelo ball was always a under the rim player most of his life he has always does that shot that isn’t something new if you’re familiar with him that’s why he’s able to finish at the rim crafty to he grew into his height very well he has potential to be top 3 if not the best one day I think so, also you mention strength I don’t think that has anything to do with it basketball is more of a mental game

[@cnotation]

Agree, but the kid refuses to hit the weight room. If he could get his driving percentage up he's a 30+ a game scorer easy.

[@cnotation]

@@LamelobaII real talk, he need to get the city out the first round to unlock that ability

He just needs to bulk up Tom Brady of the NBA

[@brandonmoskos9149]

Only thing that is slowing this dude down right now is his ankles.

[@jaychen8809]

seems like melo just wants to pat his stats, Bad shots, bad steal attempts, wild shots at the rim.

[@trizzyInTheMoney]

My only take is alot of these attack the rim examples here are non called fouls

[@jackfoudray]

Not gonna lie, Melo and Haliburton have pretty similar games. Really entertaining players!

[@kairo5146]

not the same at all in my opinion. Tyrese is a conservative passer and defender, he plays really safe while LaMelo like to take risky gambles which translate to entertainment. I like Tyrese but LaMelo is Showtime 2.0 IMO, he is solely bringing Puma basketball shoes on the map and even bringing international fans to root for the Hornets.

[@jackfoudray]

@kairo5146 I mean, objectively, they have a lot of similarities, lol. I didn't say they're necessarily THE same player, ya know?

[@shazazy4137]

@@kairo5146 Idk man, Tyrese is not a conservative defender at all. His game is like CP3 but with no defense. Even if you watch the game, he lacks on-ball defence, ball watching and his help defense is trash compared to other NBA players. His defensive stats also back up my claim that he ranks lower than Lamelo and one of the lowest in the NBA at around 500+ something.

[@xxtrez653]

Easily one of the best passers ive seen

[@jordanbballmight]

He’s stayed the same player for 3 years.

[@ayokiwi1678]

[@Gracchi]

"hoping to find an angle",. lol ,bro., its called drawing players out of position, to create angles with iq, for shots and passes, , he sees this before even getting to that area.

He got the wingspan wrong, but the height is pretty much correct. He's 6'6 barefoot, and 6'7+ with shoes on. His wingspan is 6'8 tho.

[@_gw33do_]

I would disagree with strength being his weakness, I think it's more of decision making issues when in the paint/driving. Trae Young is like 160lbs and he gets buckets in the lane, definitely not a strength thing

[@thekidshere6955]

I respectfully Disagree Trae Young at the Rim shot under 50% last year, and with the Physical Tools that Melo has he could be much more efficient around the basket, and I think allot of it comes down to him avoiding contact

[@_gw33do_]

Between 5-9ft which is what the floater would be considered prime area, Lamelo is below 35% and Trae is above 50%. Agree to disagree

[@josiah3511]

He’s tough but he ain’t as good as he used to be shooting wise in high school

Good playmaker, mid scorer, mid rebounder, average rim finisher, injury-prone

[@Jayluvhoops]

He needs to just work on being able to finish and thats it and add more with his bag he has no euro or hop and hes overrated because of this he has a bag no doubt but its so predictable but the way he can move and use screens eith those moves it makes it difficult he bsssicslly just does a hezi a tween or a crossover step back tween something like that he does basic moves but he over dramatically does them to sell a lot of things easier
