    Everything you said is true Will, LiAngelo just isnt the most athletic player around, he lacks athleticism and is undersized if he were to play SF or PF, not quick enough for SG. But he could add to quickness. He has skill just as many top prospects coming out of high school do, definitely not a bum.

    Yes, I agree, JToler. With his size, LiAngelo is a little out of place. He need's to play in the paint and he likes to isolate. Shooting guard would be a disaster. Charles Barkley was just 6 foot 4 1/2 but an elite athlete. LiAngelo can shoot, but his athleticism leaves a lot to be desired.

    Doesn't make the league as a whole any good.

    Look at the games guys put up on the g league. Guys go nuts on a nightly basis and most who get a shot in the NBA cant do anything.

    He might be better than you think, but the weight does hinder him. He doesn't have Lonzo's build and that takes away from speed and quickness.

    That's the BBB Challenge and the 72 points were scored against kids with no defense. When he plays in the pro league, the LKL, 14 points would be a good game for him. His talent can only be measured in the LKL Pro games and his Lithuanian teammates don't want to pass him the ball. The only time that he scores is when he creates his own opportunity off of an offensive rebound or taking the ball down the court. He WONT PASS because he'll never see the basketball. Lithuanian players seem to resent the Ball kids.

    Wow! I actually wrote in the Facebook chat that he was Ron Artest or a shorter Robert Horry. Same exact words!

    The haters could learn a lot from father Ball and his business acumen. I dont follow the Ball's games but early on seems LaVar was coaching a little and the team and/or league + refs perhaps had some kind of contract with the BBB brand as someone said the refs were wearing it. The world is a business and regardless of what you think about him he's been able to maximize the moment to his advantage.

    When he played at St. John's and Indiana, Artest had game. When he turned into Metta World Peace, he was "gahbage".lol

    LiAngelo Ball may not be on an NBA roster, but he is putting out a signature shoe with Big Baller Brand.

    LiAngelo Ball’s G3 LUX signature kicks are coming out in three different colorways. The three versions of the shoe are very basic, but they look decent.

    The G3 LUX signature shoes are labeled at $179 right now, cheaper than the ZO2.19’s or the MELO BALL 1’s. LiAngelo, the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers star Lonzo Ball, hasn’t had the same type of success that his brothers have, though.

    Lavar shoulda just let the middle one stay in school. He assumed he could use his clout to get him starting positions here and there. Now both other kids have probably learned shit all about team basketball.

    Also, I imagine lonzo might have had a very mediocre career if he didn’t win the Lebum sweepstakes.

    Played quite well there vs the Blazers' SL team. Looks like a fatter Gary Trent Jr. Good shooter, good feel for the game. Jared Dudley type.
