Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2279283, member: 5798"] Without saying a word?!? When was that? Unfortunately, LaMelo is almost as boorish and out spoken as his father. He's nothing like Lonzo. He's good, and he knows it, and if you have a moment, he'll tell you. He'll bust a 3 in your face, then stare at you while back-peddling on defense. SMH. His on-court body language is at times is disrespectful to his opponents. I've seen him play a high school game [B]in person[/B]. I'm saying what I saw, not what I heard or what others may have posted. LaVar was there, coaching from the stands as usual. He reminds you a little bit of "the answer", [B]Allen Iverson[/B]. At 6'3" (and still growing), Ball has been described as a relatively tall [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_guard']point guard[/URL] with a long wingspan. He's quick, fearless, has some vicious handles, and can shoot the lights out. Like Stephen Curry, he'll shoot a 35' 3 point shot without giving it a second thought, or looking over at the bench. He has a green light. He has been criticized for [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking_%28basketball%29']cherry picking[/URL], as he often waits near [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_court']half court[/URL] to get an open shot on his next possession instead of trying to prevent the opponent from scoring.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMelo_Ball#cite_note-barkley-36'] [/URL]Ball has had a 92-point game. Often he would wait (cherry pick) at the other end of the court when other team had the ball. On defensive rebounds or after a made basket, his teammates would throw the ball to him at half-court or three-quarters of the court for an easy or uncontested score. He'll be the talk of Westwood (UCLA) once he gets there. No doubt Lavar will see to that. :eek: [/QUOTE]
