I would say he’s a safe pick. He’s already proven against other pros and most of the time when you get to high level basketball like this you gotta go with the one with the most IQ. Melo can see anything and make any pass, especially the cross the court pass. If anything someone in the league could use him

This is the exact way I feel. I go back and forth between thinking he'll be a great player and thinking he'll be a bust. I think his body will take a lot longer to develop and by then teams might have given up on him being a star. Kind of like Ricky Rubio.
@eczotiic8026
@eczotiic8026 3 жыл бұрын
For me, I feel like Melo just needs to change his mentality if he wants to be great. He’s got the talent, skills, and he’s been an exposed to pressure at a young age so he has developed “amnesia” in his game which is something you only see in superstars. Problem is, Melo isn’t disciplined and has a lot of bad habits. Forcing shots, minimal effort defensively, over dribbling, excessive flashiness, etc. If he can just slow down, put in the time and effort, and make things easier for himself, he’s going to be a future superstar. I’m talking Luka-esque type of superstar.

The thing is. Lamelo is not even really used to his body yet. The choices he makes are all based around being the smallest guy on the court.This will be an advantage for him once he stops grwoing completely. He is still going to girth out a bit. Look at his dad and uncles and brothers. So after he adjusts to his hieght hes going to have to adjust to added weight. Either way he will have additional weapons. Just physically the potential is there.

From what I've seen, he has a bad attitude as well, but that's open for argument as it's not a statistic.

Can we address his quickness? There's been scouting report that because he's so tall and lengthy, he has issues with quickness. It explains why he jacks up so many bad shots. He doesn't have that physical ability to get around players with the ball. On defense, add in that he has trouble getting low and move his feet laterally, it really spells doom on that end. That said, he's still incredibly skilled that he will still be a play maker in the NBA. Just not sure how good of a player he'll actually become.

@@zzcc229 What do you mean he doesn't need it on offense? I think it adds to his low percentage shots because he can't go around defenders, so he's force to jack up a bad shot. He's not slow footed by any means, but he does seem to have trouble in the Aussie league, and in the NBA where the best athletes are, it's only going to get worse.

@@Mannydude96 are you stupid? Do you think NBA teams are saying that? You think these teams would throw away their future just because he “scores a lot” cmon they clearly see something more. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work, but y’all swear it’s a done deal he’s gonna be a bust, and yet have literally never watched him play (which is evident because you only bring up his HS career or you’re a huge hater). Let the guy play before y’all judge damn.

@@kingcapital5595 you don't tell me how to live my life chief. I have watched him. 3-9 as the starting PG in a lower league. NBL isn't even a top 5 league in the world. Asking if I'm stupid is kind of rude don't you think? Lamelo WILL be a bust. 100%. Lock it in. Have a good day sir.

Dan, did you watch any of the games? So with Ball in the lineup Illawarra went 3-9, but overall they were like 5 - 29 or something, so as bad as the record was with Ball, they were worse without. If you did watch them, did he actually make an impact or is it a sample size issue and those wins totals are more of a fluke?

Great comment. Pistol averaged 44 a game for LSU at the D1 level. Pistol was a lights out shooter. Lamelo would be lucky to average 18 ppg if he went D1, IMO. Pistol is the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer with 3,667 points scored, despite only playing three seasons in college. That means he averaged 44.2 points per game😳
