Ingram is looking good, but he still is very light.
That bryant guy seems like a steal, very good for a second round pick.

WTF kinda garbage is that?


I have no problem with Ball, but they need to stop with that ****. They're trying way too hard to force it like he's going to be an amazing player. He's a great passer, but relax and let's see how good he can be before you bring up what Kobe did.

Ingram looks nice. He still a twig, but there is improvement enough where he can handle contact without touching the floor on his ass.
Not impressed with Ball. I expected him to push the pace and make simple decisions fast. And that's exactly what I got, but nothing so far to wow me. And I hate this Ball next big thing Lakers crap telemania crap. It makes me hate the kid for no reason.

Bryce Johnson had a few solid fadeaways, but he's a ball hog and is giving away possessions now.

How does he look like a steal? It is game 1 of the summer league. So many undrafted guys, let alone 2nd rounders, play very well. Ill wait until the regular season before calling anyone steals.

Though at the same time, I hope Dunn, Lauri, and other bulls go off. That would at least give me false hope for them, which is better than no hope. Even though the bulls will be bottom 3 in the nba (hopefully and thankfully)

Announcer added an extra rebound and assist to his halftime numbers. :rofl:

Cmon dude, you're making him more polarizing than he needs to be. He doesn't deserve this ****.

I can see BBB and Lonzo taking a big hit with the hype and everything if Lonzo has a very average or below average rookie year. I know I'm overreacting but I'm just saying an if scenario since his dad put the poor kid into this all time high hype mention so people are now having high expectations from him right away.

I want to see Jawun Evans get more minutes. There's literally no reason for a 25-year-old Kendall Marshall to be getting so much playing time over the point guards we drafted the last two years.

ball should get a ton of assist just by passing the ball so much, just sheer volume of passes should get him assist, just one half but i didnt see him create a easy dime for a teammate yet i dont even remember him touching the paint with his dribble yet

I said he seems, not that he is a steal. Read carefully. This is summer league, all is about subjetive feelings.
