LaMelo averaged only 6.5 points in eight games in Lithuania, but that’s not stopping the LaVar Ball hype train.
LaVar Ball tells WKYC that LaMelo is the most special, most famous high school player ever. Noted that LeBron wasn’t known overseas in high school like LaMelo is.

UPDATE: For those of you asking, it’s not clear whether LaMelo would be eligible to play in college. He played professionally in Lithuania and in the JBA, but his family claims he was never paid in order to maintain his eligibility in the US. Still, no thanks.
