hilight videos all summer at the Drew League simply because there were scrubs in front of him. BUT THIS CLIP IS SERIOUS. This NBL season is going to be NUTS.
No defence but he's very very fast, pace to burn, can hit the three as well. He will be a handful to guard if they don’t over play him.

No doubt about it. He will be super entertaining too.
I think people underestimate how good he is. Time will tell
Casper was playing well. Melo was a bit weak on D good 3 and made a few mistakes

Casper is a seasoned pro and Melo is a 17-year-old kid expect mistakes. Looking like a likely lottery pick with that skill and size at the 1

The kid can flat out shoot!
Regardless of whether that was the best game of his life or not, still impressive.

Yeah it's good to compare the two, it’s a bit of insight for the NBL
Damn I thought this was Trimble. Why are these dumbasses saying how will he go in the NBL?
Just say "Ball Kid" and we will know what you are on about!

His name is melo
It's more like, that Trimble guy
Think people need to clarify if it's LaMelo, Carmelo or even Melo Trimble. Not everyone is all over the Drew league.

Not so correct

Romelo Delante Trimble (born February 2, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for Melbourne United of the National Basketball League (NBL).
So it's Romelo, Lamelo and Carmelo
Not everyone is all over the Drew league.

Yeah it's been a good comp. melo has put a big spotlight on it this year in Australia with constant updates and videos.

"I think people underestimate how good he is. Time will tell"
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if he did really well in the NBL. He has amazing potential.
But honestly, how hard is it to assess this guy? You can see why he is underestimated. You can't be mad for people underestimating him.
He plays in leagues and competitions which are glorified pick up games without real defensively intensity.
I can only think of when he played in the top-flight Lithuanian league (not the junior league he was in but the higher level one) as the one or so time he played against real defensive intensity. That is a very small sample size though.

Four days later, he played his first LKL game versus Lietkabelis Panevėžys, going scoreless in five minutes.[70] Ball scored his first points at the professional level on January 21, when he posted 13 points in a 116-93 loss to Pieno žvaigždės Pasvalys.[71][72] On February 4, he scored a season-high 19 points, with four three-pointers and six assists, in a loss to Žalgiris Kaunas.

Doesn't matter Zalgiris are the big money club there they buy up all the best talent which is why they're so dominant, he would've been doing that against guys that are above NBL bench standard which is why for a 17 yo kid it's very impressive.
If he played double that time for the hawks and doubled those stats you be very happy.
