Las Vegas Summer league - July 7-17, 2017

Theres no anti-Tatum stuff, stop reaching.

He goes out of his way literally 4 times between the title and the first post to talk down Tatum, in a thread about someone else entirely.

No, he didnt. If he said Tatum was a bum, had a bad game, etc, you would be right.

Kuzma is a sleeper, outplayed Tatum (which he did).

Yes, he did. Something tells me if a Celtics fan made a thread about Tatum's great game and mentioned Ball 4 times just to talk about how much Tatum outplayed him, you wouldn't be taking this position.

Kuzma looks like an athletic Rick Fox. Man the Celtics and Lakers got tons of young talent. Hopefully the Celtics dont mess it up or Lakers for that matter and trade their young guns for hired guns like Lebron, PG 13, Anthony davis, etc.

List of things OP has said the past 10 days:

- Lonzo Ball could be a generational talent
- Kuzma is "a very special" prospect
- Lonzo Ball will have similar impact to rookie Lebron
- Brandon Ingram will put up Paul George numbers next season
- Kuzma is now a better prospect than Tatum after one game

Not to mention, has an avatar of Durant and Ingram with Ingram being 1A. while Durant being the 1B.

I honestly think its just all a big joke to him. I don't think he actually believes anything he posts.

Kuzma, a late 1st round pick outplayed Tatum. Tatum cant shoot the 3 as well as Kuzma (so far) and Kumza also did great on defense.

Stop being so dramatic.

Ball is looking more like the generational talent of this draft class. Kuzma can be something very special as well.

I hope this is sarcasm.

Kuzma didn't outplay him at all. If anything you can make a case it was a wash with Kuzma taking 26 shots to get his 31 while Tatum took 18 to get his 27 in a winning effort in which he dominated in the second half to lead the Celtics to a win with no point guard help whatsoever. You can say he had a good game but don't throw in Tatum's name in an unnecessary way.

lol MCW's NBA debut against the Heatles is still one of the more puzzling ones when looked at in the context of his career.

Even the Sun Shines on a Dog's Ass someday but not everday

...some days

Should make it a longer statement then place it at the middle so people wont notice it. I'd also recommend smaller fonts. Maybe also use the spoiler option

Jaylen and Tatum vs Lonzo .... lucky BI didnt play

Uggghhh...can you imagine this version of Ball with Ingram...wow. Can't wait to destroy the Celtics in the regular season. I got Giannis in my Ingram poster, I'm looking to add Tatum and Haywood to be in my ingram poster collection next.

Also....Kuzma had 31 points and outplayed Tatum with ease. I feel Kuzma is the better prospect than Tatum from this game. And obviously Ball is on another level from Tatum, probably the shoe in for ROY now.

Giannis utterly destroyed Ingram both times they played dude. If that one play is what you're clinging to...

I've also compared Tatum to Kobe in his summer league. My goodness people. Why is it crazy to think BI won't put up PG numbers? It's really not that ridiculous given that the Lakers are going to showcase him on this young team. Ingram is the face of the franchise now, straight from Magic Johnson himself.

Am I lying when I say Lonzo could be a generational talent? Did you see his triple double day? Do you see his passing skills? If you don't think Kidd or Steve Nash were generational talents than by all means, call me crazy.

Did Kuzma not show he was a special prospect today?

I thought he outshined Tatum today. I think the three ball is necessary in this era. Tatum hasn't shown me that yet. He won't be as good in the iso situation once he gets to the regular season imo. Is Kuzma a better prospect? I think it's still possible. I think the door is open on that.

The fact that even Laker fans think you are ridiculous should answer all those questions for you.

[True Story]

Kuzma took 2 FT compared to Tatum's 8, so no, you wouldnt say that.

Its hard to tell given his avatar and previous posting history; perhaps his realgm account is just one massive troll. At the very least its comically amusing.

RingsDontLie is basically the Lavar Ball of this board. I ain't mad though. This threads are entertaining.

Nvm I actually like you.

[raptor jesus]

a lot of attacking quickly in transition or secondary break, that's exactly what he needs to do. his game's somewhat minimized when defences get set in the halfcourt.

[PierceFan4ever]

And that's a bad thing on Tatum? Be more aggressive if you want to get to the line which Tatum was. That's only a positive to Tatum

[Tzar]

Scatter the phrase "like I said" throughout his posts, and RingsDontLie is literally Lavar Ball.

[RCM88x]

He's two and a half years old you better hope he outplays Tatum in a meaningless summer league game.

We will see where the chips fall with BI getting PG numbers, and if Ball does turn into that generational talent. There are no guarantees. People said Simmons could be a generational talent. I don't understand why I get called crazy when I say Ball could be a generational talent. Heck at least Ball showed range in college.

He's two and a half years old you better hope he outplays Tatum in a meaningless summer league game.

The numbers are going to shrink drastically for both guys(tatum, kuzma) in the regular season. But if Kuzma can hit that 3, and show great fundamentals, I think he can be an immediate impact for the Lakers in a given role, and maybe more depending on how much slack Luke gives him.
