LaMelo Ball the BEST PG in the NBA

Brandon Jennings and Gilbert Arenas of the Gil's Arena podcast debate if LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets is the BEST point guard in the NBA right now. Brandon Jennings thinks the dual threat PG is making a case for it. Even with a bad team he is still averaging almost 30 points a game and is balling for the Hornets. Gil says the new type of guard has to be able to pass and shoot. He is one of those players who can do it all. He has advanced the game of the point guard position in the NBA and will continue to improve during his career. He might be more pass friendly but can score the ball at will too. This inside the nba take comes from the Gil's Arena podcast airing every week during the NBA season.

Gil’s Arena every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

he's a 6'7 3 level scoring threat and can play make at a high level. I'm not saying he is rn but he very well has all the damn tools to be

[camrenpowers]

Bro took them big baller brand shoes off and became a superstar

[jruwilkerson]

Its the nonchalant swag that gets him over. Dude be playing with his opponents as if he he just told his dad "aye dad watch this new move"

[Nunbutvibesant]

Lamelo ball is playing like he’s still in Chino Hills. Some of the shots he’s been making are out of this world. Plus Brandon Miller has been hooping too. Once the Hornets get their centers back from injury they’re going to definitely pull out some wins.

[jasoncoward-aintscared]

I agree 💯💯💯%. He is a throwback to Nash and Magic. Best court vision, best angles, best timing. Some of his plays are just hypnotically spectacular.

[WazedNarratives]

there was a reason he was ROTY...now that he is healthy he can show it

[Liam-yr]

I’m from Liverpool and I have been following basketball since lamelo balls rookie season I bought I think 2k20 and got drafted by the hornets and that’s why I support Charlotte lamelo will always be my point guard allah kemba walker lamelos the new age can’t wait until we win a championship one day here’s hoping 🤞 😂

[BlairsNGhana]

He's not a pass first PG he's an Iso PG that passes when he can't get a shot

[aliabdelaziz]

If Lamelo had better players around him he’d be god Tier, you but Lamelo on the Suns it’ll be over!

[mediaandroid]

Damn can he do this for a full season first?!

[patdeezy]

IF they were winning for sure he would be the best pg in the NBA but most of the games so far they been taking L's while they're putting up numbers

[LVLRED]

Best on one side of the floor this is the problem with the nba we call offense only the best pg in nba and he doesn’t play defense well, are we forgetting their two sides of the court

The only both sides of the court player on the cast truly is K-Mart

[lamart]

How is bro better than luka, shai and curry?

[blayzemuzik]

I love Lamelo but going with Ja, his energy and heart translate to wins.

[danielc]

A true point guard at his size he just needs a decent team around him and they will be contenders

[Colmenero]

We just going to ignore Jalen brunson on here?

[Bars_]

He ain't even over Ja. Let alone Luka and SGA

[colinnixon]

Yall said the same shit about Haliburton and he is back to normal now.

[davidvance]

Damn i need some of what B Jennings is smoking

[darrellchappelle]

Agreed, in todays game most PGs are score first. Like gil said he's an hybrid that can switch from modern PG style and easily go for 30, with 40-50-90 splits from all three scoring levels or he can also control tempo, distrubute the ball, etc like a traditional PG he meshes those styles together well most nights. Not to mention he's 6'6-7 so even playing minimal defense its hard for smaller guards to get around or by him has the intangibles like his brother Zo to be a great defender when locked in great take Gil & B.Jennings!
