    Harden is buying the hype early.

    He is just 16. If he stay in Europe till 18 - he would be better than majority of college freshman, I can guarantee you that. And he may end up in NCAA for one&done year after that as well.

    Wasn't LaMelo being compared to Curry when he was a High school freshman?

    Has to work hard on his fundamentals and not just showboating and alley oops.

    I guess he has to go down to a minor G league team and play there, he can't afford to have an ego like Lavar.

    His shooting touch looks unorthodox but like Shawn Marion's could be above average.

    That and his skills seem to keep him in the NBA conversation.

    LaMelo definitely has the talent to be considered an NBA prospect. But it's going to depend a lot on his development. He could eventually become a first round draft pick, or he could flame out and never amount to much.

    Well he’s playing in a professional league currently so he’s ineligible for NCAA now

    Just when you think it's too quite on the Ball-front, he goes and gets outta his lane...

    Wrong! It's not official if he gets paid. If not - he is good to go.
    for example:

    lol what? yes they gets paid. His dad said they don't get paid much from the team but it's not about the money. They're said to be earning about $500 a game.

    The contract doesn't allow to share this stuff in any shape or form, so... media basically made that number up. And sold it to you, obviously.

    lol ok dude, I'm not going to keep arguing online about something this dumb, but his dad said they're not getting paid much and it's not about the money

    and oh yea Lamelo's signature shoe eliminated his eligibility with the NCAA

    If you're a dude, you can make up for being ugly by being rich.

    I really don't understand the hate for a 16 year old kid, or his 18 and 20 year old brothers. Lonzo is not a bust, he probably is the third best player in the draft and went second overall. He is better than the 1st overall pick at this stage. Lamelo is 16, I don't think he has done or said anything that merits the bullying. I don't watch their realty TV show or anything, but he seems to have stayed out of trouble.

    It applies for being a dude/girl/fat/short/bald/dumb/old etc., being rich is a very strong aphrodisiac to a lot of people!!!

    Luckily for me, like Prince, I'm rich in personality!!;)

    For guys that have ultra-thin skin, that is probably borderline bullying.

    It's nothing - a breath of air.

    Got nothing against BBB sympathizers.
