It's not as if he's a disappointing talent, either. LiAngelo actually averaged more points per game in high school than both Lonzo and LaMelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He scored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/athlete\/liangelo-ball\/1u4PSqJGEeaAdqA2nzwY6g\/basketball\/stats.htm\">30.3 points per game<\/a> for Chino Hills High School over his junior and senior seasons.
