So his soft stats matter and him being anti clutch and losing don't?



He took a previously unranked high school team to a national championship. As a freshman, he helped lift UCLA from 15 and 17 to 31 and 5. Who the heck cares about wins in summer league? These comments are ridiculous.


Wins don't matter in summer league but stats do? Image

Yesterday everyone hates him and bashes after his first SUMMER league game,

Then

Today, everyone loves him and thinks he's he real deal.

I love RealGM for this reason.

He needs to be a good defender to even have a chance... too many flaws to overlook.

Defense needed to be there.

I love how you put this because I could totally imagine the Sixers medical staff doing some ****.


We're not tanking this season.

Are mods supposed to have a bias? You lock the one where Lonzo gets made fun of but leave this one open because of praise.

I have zero power on the general board. I can not lock anything on this board. I am just stating facts. I am a Lakers fan. I obviously have a bias towards them.

Ankle sprain per Shelburne. Hopefully that's all it is. He should be fine.

He better step up that Shooting and that Defense.

One of the two at least.

Right now he can be compared to Rookie Ricky Rubio.............minus the D...........upsssss , that is not looking good.

Thee reactions to summer league games get more and more amped up every year.

I know in this case it's because the player has a loudmouth dad who's real life clickbait, but do we really need ridiculous to the extreme overreaction threads after every summer league game?

This is the annual overraction of a fanbase and Haters thread. It's not gonna end and whatever discussions can only be solidified by a couple of years of experience. 1-1 Haters vs Homers. :lol:


edit: add in the fact that Lonzo got Massively hyped by his dad. We'll see more of this for years to come.

Given Mike Krzyzewski, why isn't Tarczewski pronounced "Tar-shef-skee"?
