There was some serious buzz that LaMelo would go first overall, but he ended up falling to third after Anthony Edwards and James Wiseman were picked ahead of him.

Still, going third overall is still incredibly impressive. LaMelo has a ton of potential, and he can now learn from Michael Jordan.

Also, you can say whatever you want about LaVar Ball, but that dude has done an insane job at producing star athletes for sons.

Lonzo went second overall in his draft class and LaMelo went third overall in 2020. The Ball family is absolutely insane when it comes to basketball.

Now, we’ll see what LaMelo can do at the highest level of basketball. No matter what you think about his dad, there’s no doubt at all that he’s the real deal and has some monster upside. It should be fun to see what kind of career he puts together.
