Can't we just put this in another post instead of starting a new thread for every tweet. I'm assuming there will be more tweets as it gets closer to draft day.

Can't imagine an individual workout is the best way to showcase Melo.

Think if they swap picks with Charlotte. Ball is going to be the player sitting there at 3.

I think he will be if Golden State keeps the pick, but there is a decent chance someone trades up to #2 for Ball if the Warriors miss out on Wiseman.

Wiseman and Edwards will go 1-2. I don't care who is drafting.

If Detroit, Chicago, or New York trade up to #2, they are taking Ball.

The report is that he shot the ball well, which would make Melo look pretty damn good, considering how good he is at everything else.

Don’t think so.

GSW will trade it to someone who wants Ball.

If he didn't shoot well in an empty gym without game like conditions than he shouldn't even be in the conversation. Means absolutely nothing.

I’m pretty sure I’d rather have Carmelo than LaMelo at this point.

I'd rather have a Caramello candy bar... and watch Edwards/Toppin dunk on people's heads.

Ball is like a basketball computer.

If his shot pans out, watch the fuck out.

Imagine Rubio with range and the ability to finish.



I like Wiseman, too.

Edwards, not so much. Not a smart player.

I truly think at the end of the day, this is who the Wolves will select.

Imo he is a worse fit next to DLO than Wiseman is to Towns.

I still won't complain though as I'm not concerned with "Fit" for a team that needs a stud.

If you are picking #1 it has to be either Wiseman or Ball.

Why did the Wolves workout LaMelo? Wouldn't you be concerned if they aren't working out the top guys?

I don't buy Givony anymore. Whether he's doing it for himself or ESPN pushed it on him he's been a mouthpiece for LaMelo for a while now. All of ESPN has, honestly, and given they've gotten exclusive access to stuff it makes sense why.

Like 20/25 kind of shooting if it's just on-air rhythm shots.

I know it's just a sample, but I hope they made him shoot 200 plus shots.
I have been watching ALOT of his highlights and his shot looks broke and slow. Without him being a defensive disruption, I would pass.

Matter of fact, I am having a hard time finding anyone that looks good. Too bad March Madness was canceled. That would have given use a better idea of what they were made of. Hope Rosas knows his stuff.
