Looks like LaMelo might silence the bust talk earlier than I thought. For now, he just wrote history when posting a triple double against the Hawks to become the youngest player in the NBA that has done that.
Ok, it was just Atlanta, a team that is struggling the last couple of games and also lost Bogdanovic early in the game. But still, doing this in just over 30 minutes of playing time while being effective, is impressive. He also had the best plus minus.
I'm curious to see if he can back that up, although he already played way better lately anyway.

Blow it up, Atlanta. You're not winning anything with this core if they can't even defend against a stat padding scrub.

I still believe he will end like up like Michael Carter Williams did, at best That guy had great start also.

Yeah, I also thought of MCW as a possible role model for LaMelo. Right now, LaMelo seems to be a lock for ROY, but I wouldn't Wiseman out yet.

Clearly the NBA is a bush league. The next expansion team should just sign all of the best players in the Euroleague and show the complacent Americans who can't guard a chucker how to play real defence and team basketball :P.

It's funny to read old comments with today's knowledge

So far, there's not a lot that speaks for LaMelo as a bust. If he would be healthy he could be an All NBA caliber player, but these injuries keep him from reaching his full potential.
This draft will have some other busts though, including Wiseman who I mentioned as a ROY? I couldn't have been serious back then -.-
