10th grade lamelo was different!! that was honestly the best year for the ball family. the worst year was the year after when melo went to lithuania and zo got drafted. ever since it’s been a steady comeback for the ball family. i feel like this upcoming season is going to bring the ball family back to the spotlight.
Man for real if Gelo hadn’t of stole and stayed in college, he would’ve been like a Klay Thompson type player. He high-key was the best shooter out of the three.

Its literally in his genes. Pops is like what, 6'5"? Lonzo is 6'7 and Gelo is 6'5....but I NEVER expect LaMelo to be 6 foot 8! He's already the same height as LeBron, and has the opportunity to grow EVEN more! He's gonna be like Magic Johnson, a 6'9 PG. Gonna be in the same class as Ben Simmons
