    I felt like Lamelo was a little over-rated given how entertaining he is and how much Charlotte needed a feel good story. Not in a terrible way, just, you know, he had real flaws (which you’d expect in a guy that young) which people were brushing off. People seemed a little hasty to anoint him.

    But it does seem like he’s elevating his game in all areas.

    I really do feel like the future of the league is in good hands even though it’s going to make me sad as the current crop ride off into the sunset.
