Perhaps he needs to go back home to the planet Xenon.

Seriously?

And now the Pistons have renounced its rights to him.

Lonzo looks like an average player who has some good passing skills. He's getting blown by on defense. His shot...Idk what to say about his shot, but we'll see.

Lonzo really reminds me of Kidd.

He was open and begging for the ball a couple times and didn't get it. Also, when Ingram is playing like he did in the second quarter, I think you just try and feed him. Lonzo seems like he's just trying to get everybody to move the ball and play in sync.

I know it's just summer league, but even when I watched Ball in college he just doesn't seem to have a lot of fire in him.
Almost like he's bored out there. Still a heck of a player though.

I wish we had Thornwell. He's a gamer. But I do like 280Z.

Ingram should've gotten it to Lonza and taken the wing

Thornwell!

yeah his defense looks suspect though also needs to learn how to run a pick and roll which is a big part of the nba, handles arent that good, jumpshot.. i hated it in college and hate it still lol. kids got some stuff to work out but he does play with the right mindset

What was his rep for defense in college?

Btw, Fultz threw up an air ball in his game.

HarthorneWingo · Post #75 » by **HarthorneWingo** » Sat Jul 8, 2017 1:58 am

Ingram from everywhere

Lakers aren't making the playoffs lol. Ball going to have a typical tough year for an NBA rookie.

So will Fultz

I think it's particularly more difficult for PGs to make this jump.

We need to get our summer team back in Vegas.

what you see now is what you would of seen in college dude is not good with screens. he has good instinct with steals and blocks though. Not sure how he'll fair against athletic guards in the NBA but he does have size and length on his side.

Ball to the Nets for Russell, once Kobe is GM next year.
