All he did was point out the similarities in the two player's games......

Thats not true. He also tried to sell a Lonzo Ball t-shirt too.

De'aaron Fox sounds like the kind of guard the team needs.

He's got the Wall, Westbrook, and Rondo DNA, which too me bodes really well. If he can put on some weight during the process (to show he can), he's my pick at two, followed by Johnson/Tatum, then Ball.

I'm with you here...nothing would make me happier than if we took Fox. But I would not be crying if we ended up with Ball (only tearful). Heck, the kid wants to be a Laker, and I love that. I like his unselfishness and his playmaking ability. He see's the court better than anyone I saw in college this year. But imho, his shot and athleticism are a concern. His shot looks slow (ok for 3's but not for 2's), and his athleticism puts a limit on his defensive and offensive upside. I'm basically in agreement with this ...

I don't know all that much about Fox, but what puts him above Dennis Smith? From what I gather, Fox is a less athletic worse shooting and significantly worse playmaking John Wall?

You must not have see UCLA v Kentucky in the tourney - the man will average 14 and 6 in his rookie year

its just that one game and everyone lose their ****, when in reality he's worse prospect than DSJ, Tatum, Markanen and Josh, even by some players. He's the exactly the guy that Hennigan would draft aka borderline bust.

I'm just glad we got the #2 pick. What a ride lottery day was. Anything is better than the possible nothing.

Actually, it's the only game from him I did see, but I'm not gonna judge him solely off his career best game, I saw his averages for the season and he didn't average 39 ppg.

I wish Lavar would have just shut up but he crossed the line this time.

If we draft Ball, The Cavs and Warriors are going to be coming at us with vengeance.

Metta might be worth that 15th roster spot after all

Well damn. I really feel bad for Lonzo at times (most).

Princeinrevolt · Post #334 » by **Princeinrevolt** » Sun May 21, 2017 3:52 am

Maybe Lonzo Ball's defense is not as bad as people think??

Really hope Lonzo apologizes to Kyrie for his dumb ass Dad. That was not cool.

Leor_77 · Post #339 » by **Leor_77** » Sun May 21, 2017 5:33 am

I don't care about the dad thing or that he's from here...I'm just hearing a lot of scouts that are souring on him. Just give me Jackson, and call it a damn day.

People really need to be careful about telling other parents how to raise their own kids (Irving). The way I was brought up I would not question another man or woman's parenting skills. Maybe if that child was a menace to society; in this case it isn't. Being that Lonzo Ball is actually a respectable kid from all accounts. I would say Lavar Ball is an excellent dad. But that's just me.

Who do the Lakers draft on June 22nd with the 2nd overall pick?
