    He's always been the Ball brother with the most superstar potential. His main drawback is between his ears.

    How is his shot? I haven't watched him, but I hope his shot is better than Lonzo's.

    No interest in him and his old man, cuz its a package deal. I bet he will be a trainwreck in the locker room and off the court. Lonzo is finally seeing the light; the old man is an albatross around his neck. He would fit best in a Kardashian-type organization: just send him to the Lakers or the Nicks. The dad won't shut his fucking mouth till the kid is a Laker. Yes I fucking hate that guy.

    Those highlights just highlight that he's a medium sized fish in a small pond. He will still get eaten alive in the NBA.

    He is the best Ball as an basketball player. There's not much he can do on the offensive end and I don't know his defense but he probably be top 5 pick next year.

    That's my countrymen at #5.
    Didn't realize he climbed so high already.

    Led our national team to 2 consecutive Under-20 Euro championships. He's 18 now, isn't it more impressive than whatever LeMelo Ball has done?:confused:
