Re: Welcome To Charlotte: LaMelo Ball
Agreed, however there is a chance LaMelo is still growing. Imagine the insanity if he hits 6'9" or 6'10"

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: LaMelo Ball
LaMelo is a beast. I love him more everyday. He won't talk junk yet will still inspire haters. His silent confidence and cool disposition is something I didn't expect. A 6' 8" PG with long arms who can jump and see the whole court. My goodness.

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: LaMelo Ball
Hoop junkies, here are highlights of Lamelo playing at Rico Hines workouts about a year ago I believe before he went to Australia. Playing against a lot of NBA players and top talent from overseas and a few top prospects like Josh Christopher and KJ Martin.
One thing I noticed is he one of few guys willing to pass and not just to look score the whole time.

Lamelo just turned 19 3 months ago. If he gets any taller, gonna have to call him LaFreak.

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: LaMelo Ball
What is everyone expecting from Lamelo Stat wise this year? Starts? MPG? PPG? RPG? APG? Shooting Percentages etc....

it depends a lot on whether Rozier is still here, so i'm gonna hold off till we know what the team looks like.
If we're trying to compete for a playoff spot, Rozier is still here, and Ball doesn't look all that great as a rookie (bad shooting, worse shot selection, bad defense- all very realistic issues with him), expect his minutes and numbers to tank.

Re: Welcome To Charlotte: LaMelo Ball
It kinda depends on how the roster looks come opening night, but I'll take a stab:
20mpg
8ppg
4prg
5apg
33/25/72
The stats/usage/opportunities could increase if Terry is not on the roster though.

He's definitely benched by midseason with those %s unless he's a legit elite playmaker

LaMelo probably isn't going to start next year. He's only 19 and he will have had no summer league and an abbreviated training camp.
