LaMelo is a legit prospect. He is an elite level passer like his brother, good size and a decent athlete. Shows no effort on D and absolutely atrocious shot selection with a really shaky jumper right now. He has holes but he is 18 and playing in Australia. He has a chance to be really good. He won't play the same way in the NBA as far as shots, no team would let him on the court.
Never heard of the guy in real life but I just picked up the new NBA2K and started my Pls franchise, and in year 1 I went 41-41 and had the worst Lottery odds and landed the #2 overall pick and drafted this guy, so I'm a fan of his!

Man, all I've heard was how well he's played in Australia and jumped up on his draft projections. Just looked up his numbers just now, grosssss!!!
8 games played, he's averaging 13/7/7 on 33.9% from the field and 19.6% from 3.

Yeah, I watched a couple games and he just takes awful shots and doesn’t seem to care much about the team winning. He has tools and is an elite passer but not sure what kind of makeup he has to fit in to a team. Growing up in the middle of Lavar madness May have gotten to him

I watched him last year play in whatever country that was and he didn't look like he belonged in college ball let alone NBA

LeBron was playing with adults and damn sure looked like he belonged.
Problem with the draft is these execs are so scared that they may pass in this project who may become great, rather than drafting the known commodity out of college who might be a senior. Before they got rid of the high school kids being eligible there were a lot of questionable picks based on potential.

It's pretty amazing how many times they've led the league or finished top 2 or 3 in games missed due to injuries.
I was so excited for this season, all of it gone.
BUST!!!
Is it just the Pels or is it the city. The Saints have had some bad luck as well, most not self induced though
Funny you mention the Saints. The Saints/Pels shared a medical staff in those years, a very shitty one at that.
That being said, this season we got the dude who led the Phoenix Suns medical staff and they've somehow had the rep as the best medical staff in the NBA...then that dude learned about Shel Luck
