Anyways he’s keeping up with Ball who is playing in Australia this year. Same league T-Ferg played in before OKC drafted him. Its known as a physical league which is good for young players to get beat up a bit so to speak.

He looked good in that game.
Yet, I somehow feel if lets just say Lonzo was in that league he'd put up even gaudier numbers at that age. Consensus from most scouts is that this is a weaker draft than most and outside of the top 5 there's a big drop off, and even then the top 5 prospects aren't necessarily franchise altering.
LaMelo certainly looks like a top 3 pick so far, but I think that speaks more about the talent level of the overall draft rather than LaMelo's individual brilliance.
