    I knew he was a potential top 10 player and thought he had a pretty good chance at at least being an all-star. I thought he was pretty much the best choice for No. 1 pick because unless you're elite on defense and "very good" on offense. Anthony Edwards just never looked like someone who had the savvy of a guard or the court vision. LaMelo had some definite red flags, but always had elite vision, elite handle, elite passing and elite size. I thought he had decent bust potential too, but he looked like the person w. the highest potential from day 1. Warriors will be upset about this for years.

    He plays with the confidence and sense of purpose that was missing from Lonzo’s rookie season (and
    Still missing to an extent). Similar to his brothers game in terms of skillset but the body language couldn’t be more different. LaMelo looks like he’s having fun while Lonzo looked depressed.

    He's what you call a natural, reminds me of myself (i play better d, his passing also reminds me of myself, he has beter range and handles) . He'll be in the league for a while. So much potential and creativity.

    Worried about the mentality because he did grow up pretty famous and spoiled.

    FreezingT was the only one hyping him with a lot of people hating. If anyone else had posts about him go ahead and bump.

    I havent watched him much... but what I seen of Lonzo he was like diet Jason Kidd. So if he hass that skill along with that intuition, he'll be great.

    I thought he looked special dribbling the ball - something dynamic about his drives

    A natural

    So I thought he'd be great

    He's a huge win for Charlotte.

    Brings excitement and attention to one of the most boring orgs in the NBA

    Is actually balling out individually with impressive rookie stats

    Best of all they have a winning record for the first time in 5 years

    I bet you anything MJ wanted Patrick Williams if he had his say but Cupcake told him he was putting his foot down this time.

    I certainly did not see this coming.

    He's been very impressive so far. Not only the stats but the impact he has on the game. You can see his teammates clearly wanted to lean on him for certain things and he's ready for it.

    Nice surprise to be honest.

    And the thing is like Zion he is liked and popularizes the game. NBA has lost the culture and no one realizes it. Guys like melo are how we get it back and undo the sins of Lebron and other ignorant miscreants
