Laver Paul called the pistons system “hellish rocket” after his son Lee Angelo dropped the ball Monday morning.
Detroit signed the youngest ball to a one-year, unsecured contract earlier this month, but the 22-year-old Piston has not played in any of the two pre-season games. The senior ball was asked about the roster action In an interview with Bleacher Report.
“I definitely have thoughts on that,” Lover said, adding that his other sons, Lonzo (Pelicans) and Lamelo (Hornets) also play in the NBA. “People in Detroit are the best. I love the fans, but the franchise out there is hell. They don’t know a good player. I gave them a lottery pick for free! [He] Has the ability to play and the stigma of bringing everyone into the game.
“How do you throw it out the window? They ‘re going to learn the hard way. My boys will play together somewhere.’ Kelo can turn off the lights. What they did was rude. But hey, they ‘re going to learn the hard way.”
Lonzo was ranked No. 2 in the 2017 NBA Draft and Lamello was ranked No. 3 this year, with Li Angelo not being built in 2018. He famously joined UCLA in 2017, but never included it in court after he was suspended for shoplifting sunglasses during an international trip to China.
Li Angelo played in the Lithuanian Basketball League in 2018 before returning to the United States to play at his father’s Junior Basketball Club. In 2019, he signed a G-League contract with Oklahoma City Blues, but the season was canceled due to a corona virus infection.
