Definitely not going to be a franchise guy. Doesn't have that makeup. I can see him being a super 6th man eventually

And Lamelo can do the same. High usage counting stats guy for the worst team in the league.

I didn't follow any of these prospects so I have no idea, but remember your Trae Young takes? Sounds familiar.

It was all downhill after MCW's first game. That's impressive.

I don’t get the backlash. Basketball is just like our 9-5 office jobs. I just do this because I’m good at it and I can get paid. If I were drafted in the NBA i sould leave. Doesn’t mean I’m not putting forth my best effort. There is no difference between the NBA and your job

I agree. The NBA is a long, 82 game grind and you have to want to get better, watch film and love the game. Hearing him say that he's only playing because he's good at it and he doesn't enjoy watching basketball is a huge red flag.
He reeks of a type of playerwho reaches the ceiling early and doesn't progress. He's such a talented player that he'll be drafted in the top five regardless but he needs to go to a team with a strong culture that will hold him accountable.

Ice Tray didn't have garbage shooting mechanics and has really good burst.
Lamelo is a bad shooter with bad mechanics that takes bad shots. Average at best burst with no physicality. Not a good combo.

Josh Smith like 4 inches taller than him and never was looked as a special scorer. Totally different players.

Find a job you love and it wont feel like work. If dude really doesnt have passion for the game he gonna be stuck on “good enough to get these checks”.

Lamelo should be the no brainer #1 pick

Melo stinks. Boy's about to be in for a rude awakening. He'll have some nice passes tho.
Congrats to the Ball family.

I love Melo's potential but his shot needs a lot of work and he don't know that basketball is played at both ends.

Hayward using Atlanta of all places for leverage is very 2020

Edwards is a poor man's Russ. A physical freak with poor shot selection because he thinks he's nicer than he actually is

The amount of rookies that come in ready or even willing to play NBA defense is less than 10% of the 60 draftees. In a weak draft potential is honestly what you're banking on. Melo has the highest ceiling I believe by a wide margin.
Edwards seems like an even lesser motivated Andrew Wiggins.
