LaVar Ball Pulls Li'Angelo Ball From UCLA

[jterrell]

Lamelo had a shot to maybe be a late lotto pick, but his game to me comes off as an even less efficient Nick Young. If he plays overseas, and gets in of the better leagues I think his sense of entitlement will will sink him once he isnt getting playing time.

I think Li'Angelo is the one to get screwed here. He has an average college basketball skillset and athleticism. He's a 6'5" power forward.
He could have really used that college education from UCLA.
But he's not an NBA talent. And playing overseas will just pay he bills, he won't be set up for life.
So a degree matters.

This may ironically help Melo because he will be forced to grow up. He'll be playing with grown men and they take no prisoners over in those Euro leagues. Dudes are playing to feed their families.

The best option would be China but LiAngelo of course is a friggin criminal there... smh.

If Melo plays well overseas and matures A LOT he may still end up a late lottery pick.

There's also hope Lavar gets locked up overseas for a few nights without his twitter or any news cameras in his face to think about shutting up.

Haha...like the NCAA actually cares if the players stick around.

FIFA, IOC, NCAA. coin toss as to the most corrupt and hypocritical one.

I hate the Lakers with a passion, but not even I would wish Lavar Ball on them. He is an absolutely horrible cartoon of a person.

they all exist for one sole purpose, make money.
hard to even be mad, it's just capitalism run amok and we hate oversight or regulation.
not any better system so not sure what the answer is.

I'm sick of hearing about Lavar Ball and his spawn. The big market fans/media of Los Angeles are just as bad by hyping the skills of Lonzo like he is the next coming of the black mamba. Dejounte Murray would school Lonzo in a game of 1 on 1 ball, 10 times out of 10.

As a Laker fan, that's news to me. Never once have I read an article comparing him to Kobe. He's been compared to Kidd all over the media (not just L.A.). His shooting woes have been well documented, but the other aspects of his game is legit.

Can't hit 3's or free throws, no chance they make playoffs imo.
