LaMelo first top 3 pick to go scoreless in debut since Otto Porter Jr. in 2013

Literally only one game. I had a feeling realgm users were gonna act like this ngl.

I believe Otto was injured coming into his rookie season. His first game was just a a few minutes off the bench late in the year if I remember correctly

I'm sure his life will still be less miserable than yours.

Probably not bro, I don't have Lavar as a dad.

Lavar is a great dad. He pushed two of his sons to make the NBA and does nothing but promote the greatness of his sons even if people believe otherwise. Your dad made you an internet warrior.

Watching LaMello play is a mixed bag. I like the way he moves, but does he really need to make the simplest fundamentals look 5x harder than they actually are?

Why is anyone surprised? He needs g league time before he can consistently contribute at the NBA level. Lonzo was a markedly better prospect and we saw how he struggled early on...

Terry Rozier and Hayward combined for 70, and there is only one bell.

Watched the entire game, Ball was invisible. Okoro was way better. It's one game but we shall see.

I don't even like LaMelo like that, but it is kind of sad that so many people want to see him fail. He only played 16 minutes.

Its only 1 game. Give the guy a season or two to see how he turns out.

not only he is a big project but he fell to the wrong team and not like to the Warriors/Spurs.
If he isnt fixed by yr 3 he will be out of league. MJ ruined another players career.

Lavar bought Liangelo a ferrari and Lamelo a rolls royce. Seems like a horrible dad

No, he looked very passive tonight. Didnt really notice him much when he was on the floor outside of a shot attempt here and there.

Could be first game jitters but he has to tinker with his game, find his niche and go full steam ahead.

I think his game is going to resemble quite a bit of young Minnisota Ricky Rubio these first 2-3 years. A good player at setting others up and initiating the offense getting other guys going--but far from a nightly scoring threat

Before he even played one game he was getting called the best passer the NBA has seen since Magic Johnson.

Its pretty sad that you think buying his son a fancy car is some kind of example that he is a good dad.

Mind you, I'm not commenting on his parenting one way or another, I don't know, but buying his kids a fancy car is hardly proof that he is a good father.

Sad that you think a gift is a representation of a poor parenting too. It shouldn't represent either. For all the gifts, Lavar seems to be more hard on his kids than anyone else.

Lavar gets the hate, but he has put his kids in the position to succeed. Plenty of parents have loud mouths, but you just never hear from them...the difference is they put a microphone in front of Lavar. The real sad thing is to wish that a young kid doesn't succeed because you don't like his parents. That's where all the hate for the these Ball kids start from.

Reading comprehension bro.

Didn't come remotely close to saying a gift is a sign of bad parenting. I even went a step further to make that clear by saying "I'm not commenting on his parenting one way or another."

I’m so excited we’re going to get Lonzo rookie year part 2. Threads will be made every time lamelo gets a triple double and when he air balls a 3.

I was doing the same as you....reading more into a comment. Comprehend that

I wasn't saying that buying expensive gifts is the sign of a good dad either.
