Melo is well on track to be the NBA rookie of the year.  Here is where he currently stands

He currently leads all NBA rookies for total points, rebounds, assists, steals, double-doubles, triple-doubles and player efficiency rating (source: ESPN).

post of the month.

 

also,  ESPN's lead story on their front page is about LaMelo.   It's behind their paywall, but it says "This is more than we could have expected from LaMelo Ball.  our experts dive into Ball's game and what comes next for the standout rookie."

Now that he's starting, I think he'll put up stats that will make him the runaway winner of ROY.

LaMelo's going to win this--Wiseman got benched as Melo got pushed into the starting lineup, and Edwards is getting totally ignored on one of the saddest teams in basketball. LaMelo just went through his national media hype cycle, so even if Ant or Wiseman starts to get some attention later in the year, Melo's numbers are just going to be too great to overcome.

First rookie in four decades to lead all rookies in points, assists, and rebounds

Has LaMelo exceeded expectations during his Rookie of the Year campaign?

"He has a chance to be just the 2nd rookie in at least the last 40 years to lead all rookies in points, rebounds & assists. Right now, he leads all rookies in everything." — @getnickwright https://t.co/TaJFiRjXzZ

Lamelo’s impact on this team cannot be really calculated.  Totally different squad.  I saw Biz with a no look pass to Bridges for the dunk last night.  He has made everyone better.  Can we sign him to a 20 year deal?  He is a special, special player.

Malik is a CORE guy right now.  Sign him immediately to a long term deal.  Those two are the future.

Man, it is an amazingly brutal fact that this franchises fans have not been able to see this team in person.  The new Hive would have been so sweet.  Future season ticket holder incoming 

It’s a travesty I can’t even watch most games on TV in Charlotte.

    • The issue is there's 16 games worth of tape on Bryce Young. His bad habits are going to be immediately amplified if he reverts to them. Defenses are waiting for it. Also as another poster above rightly pointed out. He's got to start putting some oomph on these passes. That's also on tape. That's why us fans and his first GM who was fired wanted him to get into the weight room at any capacity but he took time off to do nothing. Whatever happens it won't be for a lack of trying. I think Dave Canales is the right hire to work with a QB like Bryce. The issue is we have no idea if he is the right hire to fix the overall offense and team or how he will handle that level of responsibility on gamedays with only one year of coordinating. I think think this is either going to go really well or it's going to spiral. For all the talk of how bad Reich was and yes he was we really got much worse after he was fired and that's what Canales is inheriting. All of this is why I say it is important we have another young QB around just in case. Even a UFA. Also drafting a center for Bryce or whomever. We just need something anything to build on. Sustaining drives and getting into the end zone more often should be goals 1-3. We were h-o-r-r-e-n-d-o-u-s.
    • What Morgan should be focusing on it getting the best players from the draft group that is available to him this year. If that happens to be a defensive player he shouldn't pass on the guy just because he needs offensive talent. Especially if what's available for offensive help is not on the same level of said defensive player. It just comes down to who's still on the board when he picks. Not every position need can or will be addressed in this draft. It simply will not happen because no team is that lucky for one thing and this team is in bad, really bad shape. Secondly, no draft is filled with enough talent to allow for any team to walk away with more than one possible starter and one or two contributors in any one draft. I think everyone needs to curb their expectations about this year's draft.
