After all, the point guard, who was selected third in the 2020 draft by the Charlotte Hornets, took it with humor. On Twitter he wrote: “How much I like her (The number one on the back, editor’s note) miss. But I’ve told them since the draft. ” He provided the mail with a weeping smiley face and three facepalms.
LaMelo negotiated in vain with Monk
During his time at the Chino Hills High School, the youngest offspring of the Ball clan came up with his number one. However, when he got to the Hornets, that number was given to Malik Monk.
Although he had already negotiated a number swap with his teammate last season, he bit granite. However, when he switched to the Los Angeles Lakers, it was released again. (DATES: NBA results and schedule)
But now the missed deadline for the longed-for reunification between LaMelo and his shirt number thwarted the bill.
It will be interesting to see whether there will be a happy ending in this saga.
