Sounds like an outside linebacker for clemson

They've been emphasizing him not making dumb fouls and that 4th foul was peak brain dead foul

Lamelo got benched because he forced a 1 on 4 layup and then committed a take foul. Eventually he’s got to learn. It’s been a huge problem this year

This team has terrible ball movement and decision making. This game we made 55% of our 3's, and lost anyway. Our turnover issues is the main reason we aren't at least .500.

Played like ass all night, continued forcing bad shots, and more of that mind numbingly stupid habit of taking a bad shot and immediately following it up with a spastic foul as the other team breaks down the floor.

I'm fine with Melo being benched, he's shot terribly this and the previous game.

Hopefully it's not his ankles or wrist acting up.

And him not being on the court is a third of the reason why we lost.

We win if he plays the last 9 minutes.

Had 21 turnovers, lost by 1pt.

So many scenarios would've led to this being a win. And none of them happened.

You bench Melo up until 3:30 to go and then you throw your best at them. Mind boggling idiotic not to have him out there if you want to win.
