Vytautas' head coach says LaMelo Ball stands out in practices but has to stop shooting 40-footers
The Ball brothers will play their second league game tomorrow
LaMelo Ball seems to have impressed Vytautas coach Virginijus Seskus, but at the same time the 16-year-old prospect is causing him some headaches.
“When I watch them in practices, they stand out, especially the little one. You can’t control that little chipmunk,” Seskus said on Lithuanian TV. “You say, ‘Don’t shoot 40-footers.’ Next thing you know, he’s shooting 40-footers."
“He’s used to doing that stuff. They’re not used to training hard. You need to make them give 100 percent in practices.”
“The older one, LiAngelo, he takes this stuff more serious and he tries to involve his brother,” Seskus said, before adding that he has seen Gelo chiding Melo about listening to the coach.
Tomorrow night, the Ball brothers will play their second LKL game after combining for 0 points in their official debut.
