Must be great knowing that you have nothing to show for it.

 

[El Topo]

I would pay good money to see the Lakers draft someone other than Lonzo and see Lavar's immediate reaction.

 

[sf2fanatic]

CP3 to SA, believe!

Yup

 

[FZZ]

He's gonna be a monster brehs

dat athleticism

Those deep ass threes...

 

[Bread]

Lol "dat athleticism" when talking about ball

 

[FZZ]

Saying Lonzo is unathletic is one of the biggest lies reporters are clinging to

Dude isn't super athletic but he's definitely above average

 

[Jarate]

It's probably becaus e DSJ, Fultz and Fox are all athletic freaks.

Lonzo Ball is a better athlete then you guys understand.

 

[Sandfox]

I've read and watched so much stuff information about the players available to the Lakers at 2 and 28...

 

[Jarate]

I hope the Lakers draft Tatum, and Melo Trimble

I'm not saying he isn't athletic, but saying dat athleticism when talking about maybe the least athletic of the top 6 picks is funny.

 

[Sandfox]

I hope the Lakers draft Tatum, and Melo Trimble

Tatum actually compares favorably to players like Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, and Gordon Hayward statistically.

 

[Jarate]

step 1 if the NBA draft

never draft duke guys

 

[overcast]

Nothing matters. Warriors won. For the next 3 years.

 

[Tom Penny]

Those deep ass threes...

Didn't score in ISO or Pick n roll in college. Sound like a perfect player in today's NBA.

 

[Jarate]

Honestly, I've completely flipped on Lonzo after studying him more. He basically reminds me of a better Devin Booker imo

 

[Sandfox]

Lonzo is a weird prospect because he mainly scored through the most efficient types of shots and most other things have a small sample size. He's weak in certain areas, but the things he does well are insane.

 

[Bread]

Honestly, I've completely flipped on Lonzo after studying him more. He basically reminds me of a better Devin Booker imo

I really really don't see the similarities at all

 

[FZZ]

I want this, his attempts are the strong indicator of his potential success imo

But rumors coming out now Lakers wouldn't take him...

He'd be good on Philly at least, if we don't take Zo I wanna trade down

 

[Jarate]

I really really don't see the similarities at all

Great shooters, similar size, both are not supremely athletic but have surprising athleticism, similar attitude on court.

I think Lakers are going for JJ tbh

 

[Sandfox]

Lonzo and Booker have physical similarities, but their games are different.

I want this, his attempts are the strong indicator of his potential success imo

But rumors coming out now Lakers wouldn't take him...

I wouldn't listen to any reports you see for or against any players. There's a lot of noise going on and agents trying to pump their players. The Lakers haven't even started working out the top prospects yet.

 

[Bread]

Great shooters, similar size, both are not supremely athletic but have surprising athleticism, similar attitude on court.

I think Lakers are going for JJ tbh

Booker is a scorer who tries to get his shot going, Ball is a distributor who takes what the defense gives him. I can't imagine Ball ever having the offensive skill that Booker brings to the table.

 

[LockOfTheWeek]

Ball/Booker comp is a weird one, they're pretty much polar opposites, one is a gunner who hasn't shown much play making skill and the other is a gifted play maker who hasn't really shown to be someone with a high scoring ceiling nor one who wants to be that.

They would have been a perfect back court pairing in Phoenix if they stayed in the 2 spot.

 

[LionPride]

Honestly, I've completely flipped on Lonzo after studying him more. He basically reminds me of a better Devin Booker imo

They're both light skinned...

That's about it

 

[LyleLanley]

How did I not know this existed?

https://streamable.com/oj6pc - Chris Mannix explaining to Cowherd why he's an idiot and why the C's should take Fultz.

Related to this, Fultz is meeting with the C's management and working out/undergoing a physical over Monday and Tueaday according to Woj.

I thought you were joking in the other thread lol

 

[Tall4Life]

Next season, the rebuilt Lakers and Celtics will beat the Warriors and Cavs in their respective conference finals and bring back real basketball, sponsored by BBB.

Uhh yeah, that's what I was doing.
