That's actually a good comparison...if LaMelo played any defense. But otherwise...yeah, it really is kind of Rubio-ish, which suggests to me that he's being very overvalued.
I mean, Rubio was 2nd in ROY voting behind Kyrie. I don't like to play "what if" but the buzz around him was generally very positive until injuries slowed him down. You could do a lot worse than a healthy Rubio at #5.
