I thought if you were making money through a family business, or getting money from the family it was OK.

- liangelo lavar ball
He turned pro he cant play college ball period.
He won't be able to.play because he played in a pro league overseas. ..
He can play another sport in college
He can't get better if he's not playing against good competition... he already struggled in a low level Lithuanian league. The games Lavar set up for them count for nothing.
And the JBA comp seems questionable...
I'm still not seeing how this plan is greater than the conventional, tried-and-true route to the NBA.
We shall see.
And being that he wouldn't have played last year he still would have had 4 years of eligibilityThe Kid fucked up in China stealing shit. The situation was resolved and he was suspended indefinitely.
It turns out that the suspension would have been for one year.
Going into the 2018/19 season he will have a year of education under his belt and be a whole lot wiser,
Sometimes patience is the answer.
HNIC
JBA is a pro league too
Melo is talented but he's not a guaranteed Top 5 pick. Right now he's a taller PG who doesn't play defense and shoots way too much. And he comes with an off the court headache as well in his dad. He'd be eligible for the 2020 draft and the 2019 high school class has a good group of prospective 1 and dones who'd most likely be picked ahead of him on top of any holdovers from the 2018 high school class.
He is done with amateur basketball...
He retains eligibility in sports he didn't play professionally
They changed that rule for baseball players that were drafted into the minors
Bro was shocked as hell that those negus were that stupid. They better be grateful for their Father's Gene's and dreams for them or else, yikes....9 sec. mark through the 19 sec mark is pure comedic gold
I forgot about the overseas and shoe deal money barring him from NCAA but if he goes back overseas the right way (not to Lithuania) he will be eligible as a overseas prospect like Mudiay. And as for him not getting drafted, we all know pull, buzz, and nepotism play the biggest part in being drafted, doubt he'd go undrafted when he's skilled, has buzz, and family in the NBA but hey, anything is possible. But no one knows the 200+ that declared and didn't get drafted but if Doncic would have went undrafted you'd have a stronger point.
exactly
anyone who has ever seen liangelo play knows he ain't even an elite high school player and had no business at ucla
and honestly lavar pulled him out cause he knew damn well he was about to be riding the pine for this year then released lol
What difference does it make? The dude is a basketball player. He not playing nothing else.
You mean the same kids he's been playing against in the AAU circuit for the last 8 years also the same kids he's always been dropping 40 on. He's going to be a top 5 draft pick. No one is passing on a 6-foot eight point guard who can light it up
What league did you watch because when he played against kids his age he dominated and when he played against grown men he really didn't get the playing time but when he did play he got buckets. I know you hate the ball family because they don't kiss white ass but the youngest son is guarantee to get drafted High
Then he shit out of luck..
Hope Lonzo can stay in the league so they can all keep spending his money
Aint no guarantees.
Ask Lenny Cooke
Ask Ronnie Fields
Ask Benji Wilson
Life happens and there are hundreds with much more talent that didn't get to the league.

You make it sound like it's his choice where he goes. .
He did what he was able to do...
And didn't improve his options with those bullshit games his daddy set up
Yeah, no real choice but making the best of a situation...if pops says I'm taking you out of HS to play ball against grown men for a salary and you'll get you GED later, you gon' say "no dad, I'd rather HS with no money, then college with no money and then we can get it." Its definitely not conventional, but its possible. Gelo stealing triggered it all, he was conventional with Zo and the setup was there for the other 2. When Gelo f'd up, no one would take him unless packaged with Melo and Melo could only play/get paid with Gelo overseas. LaVar thinks getting Melo in the NBA was cake, but without playing for UCLA during their buzz campaign (their 15 mins. of fame, Gelo would be suspended for its entirety) this was Gelo's only way (now the G League).
Not at all. Criticism ≠hate. You can go back and see I've supported the idea of BBB/owning it all from the get... I think there's been poor execution, but some future top prospect will do it better. As a Laker fan, I'm rooting for Lonzo and look forward to seeing if he's worked on his game. I do think Lavar has made a few poor decisions for his boys, taking them out of school being the worst of all.
Liangelo has always been a joke in regards to being an NBA player. He probably wouldnt have played much at ucla. Only lavar thinks that's a possibility. He just isn't good enough. And that's ok.
Re Lamelo: A legit pro prospect shouldn't have issues against Lithuanian scrubs... Grown men or not. Those other games were also against low level competition and just an opportunity for the Ball boys to get up shots/stats. I don't follow HS ball and am not swayed by highlight videos. Is there any full game footage of him vs top ranked players?
I know several pro scouts. Not one took liangelo seriously as a pro prospect and the question on lamelo is his development and will he be good enough to worth the headache Lavar can be. He has potential, but how's it going to be developed?? Who's coaching him? Training? Are these jba games legit or is he scoring 40 on 40 shots?
Major college programs do help prepare kids for the next level... This route is unproven, that's all. Like I said, we shall see.
his mechanics are fucked up on his shot. he starts out by bringin the ball from way down below his hips on the start of his shot. easy way to get it stripped in the league.
dude should've stayed in college or kept playing overseas for a while. he's definitely not ready for the stage.
The same kids who he was rated behind when he decided to leave high school. Ball was ranked in the teens of his high school class and he wasn't the top ranked PG either. He may better off as a wing than a PG as a prospect. Who wants a PG who can't keep anybody in front of him on the defensive end? And who wants a PG who has horrible shot selection? He scored 41 points in the JBA against subpar competition on 33 shots.

The father is an asshole with his basketball ponzi scheme....
It will work as long as Lonzo keeps making the show money
Bro you just can't make up stuff. he has been a ESPN 5-star recruit since he's been in the 8th grade. he was top three in his class. look it up online it should still be there. He's going to be a top 5 draft pick whether you like it or not
He's not even in ESPN's Top 100 for 2019 now.

Could have fixed that in college. Or at least worked on it WITH shooting coaches in a facility.
and AAU isn't even the elite talent. that is the shoe sponsored traveling teams.
the only time you will see top talent at an AAU tournament is nationals in Florida.
all of the travel teams play in one AAU tournament because top three finishers get a bid to nationals.
the rest of the time they are playing on the big shoe tournaments depending on who sponsors them
Lavar fucked up with that package deal shit
Realistically, Gelo ahoils be gearing up for his 2nd season at CSU Bakersfield or Pacific. He was nevertheless PAC 10 caliber
He needs to take his ass to China and rep BBB overseas. That would actually work out great for the brand

All the Balls are trash. the eldest will continue to get exposed and the younger two already have shown they are not even average. They are merely a product of their fathers self promotion....dayum their fathers good at it.
