We are #1 !

Trust the process! C’mon down Ball brother #2

The benefits of finishing with the worst record are diminished now. See last season

If you get the #1 overall pick in this draft and you take LaMelo, you have made a very weird choice.

He's a top 10 pick guy, might even be top 5, but there's nothing he's shown so far that makes you want to take him over Cole Anthony, who is right now the clear #1 pick. Obviously things could change as the year goes on, but just assuming it's ''ball brother #2!'' is very weird.

Difference is LaMelo actually has handles and is a very good driver and passer. Shot is average like his brothers'

Shot so far is worse :hihi: He's shooting 16% from deep in the NBL. At least Lonzo shot well in college.

LaMelo definitely plays in a style that's more of a clean 'fit' with what people expect from guards in the modern era though. Lonzo's a great passer, but he's more of an outlet passer, layup passer, pass-back, secondary-pass type of guy. LaMelo plays much more of that ''floor general'' style of ball, where he's actively creating plays, driving and kicking, conventional PnR, that kind of stuff.

And it's worth noting that while LaMelo isn't a great defender whatsoever, he has improved a little from high school. He's not actively the single worst defender on the floor at all times anymore.
