LiAngelo Ball to Uconn?

[Letsgohuskies11]

he is available........

 

[uconngb]

he is available...

Would certainly take the focus off of KO.....

 

[UCDaveD]

We have enough 200+ ranked players on the roster already.

 

[intlzncster]

Soft move by Lavar. Charmin

yeah but u also get another head coach as well

That is a fantastic point.

The only upside I see is that they might play "We got Big Balls" when he comes in a game.

 

[QDOG5]

he is available...

NO

 

[Huskyforlife]

The headline almost made me pass out...

The irony is that the only pro league LiAngelo might be able to play in is the Chinese Basketball Association.

I don't even think a G-League team would sign him. Why put up with the headache for a guy who's 1/10 as talented as his (under-performing) brother?

 

[Fishy]

So here’s the pitch:

You get a three-star player who thinks he’s a one and done with a father who forced the LA Lakers to amend a decades-old policy regarding families attending games.

My crystal ball pick is New Mexico.

Have you guys even seen this kid play? I saw a bit in a exhibition and hes TERRIBLE! Not even a D1 player.

He's a rookie 23 games into his career averaging 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 7 assists. 9, 7, and 7 is pretty good for a rookie point guard on a young team playing in an absolutely loaded western conference. He's also the youngest player in history to record a triple double. He may eventually be the next player to average a triple double throughout the entire season.

He's a talented kid who's had some great games (almost always against Eric Bledsoe). But his shooting has been historically bad. He's been able to shoot at every level, notwithstanding his ugly form, so I expect it will improve.

Lavar gonna school Vance's dad on how to really create a scene. The whole country's will know the name Vance Jackson by the time he's done.

 

[willie99]

No, he's only a "three star" recruit

His form is absolutely terrible, but it might be too late to fix it.

I think we are on the same side but I'm not even sure if this is true. I was listening to some hoops podcast last week and they were talking about how his shooting at UCLA was more of an anomaly than this. Apparently he shot 33% at Chino Hill (crazy shot selection, sure) and even worse during his recorded AAU games. Would Lonzo have went #2 out of the draft if he shot 31% from deep at UCLA? No chance.

If Lonzo can be even a decent shooter he would be an ALL star player but I am not nearly as high on him as I was leading into the draft. The shot is way more broken than I imagined. The mechanics make shooting off the bounce basically impossible, save for stepbacks which aren't exactly high percentage.

 

[Hankster]

yeah but u also get another head coach as well

Yeah, his dad.

 

[Blueballer]

His old man says he's going into the draft.

LaVar Ball pulls son LiAngelo out of UCLA

 

[gtcam]

He may eventually be the next player to average a triple double throughout the entire season.

Almost chocked on that one. Go ahead bet the house on that statement

 

[boog204]

Just hire LaVar and get it over with...

 

[Travelman6]

No thanks. More steals off the court than on it....

 

[Travelman6]

Any way, this is good for a kid going to UCLA as it (potentially) frees up a scholarship for (one would hope) a more deserving player and student who has ACTUALLY earned it via (one would hope) good life choices.

Anyone else just tired of this family? What a circus. Do the kids even make their own choices btw? The father is not doing much to raise independent men.

Hey going easy on Bunkey’s bro Eric Bledsoe!
