lol you can't compare a 2nd year player to any of these rookies.

Why not? We always discuss where ben simmons would go in this class too

"When you're willing to share the ball it is contagious!" Lmao are they seriously crediting that fast break because of Lonzo when he's sitting on the bench and they had 3 guys on the break?

I cannot wait to see D'Angelo Russell go at Ball when they play each other this year.

So many hot takes. Plenty of PG's have been successful that couldn't beat anyone off the dribble or defend like Ball.

Sindarius Thornwell is such a cool name. Being an NBA player almost seems like an underachievement for that name.

I dont get why everyone slurps the sixers core of embiid and simmons.

embiid is a bust for all intents and purposes. dude played fewer games than oden did in the same time period and has already had bad injuries...not looking good for a 7'2" behemoth entering shaq territory in size

simmons averaged like 10 ppg and shot like 35% from the field in the summer league...lol. dude is literally a homeless man's lebron, and we all should know that bron ball with anything less than the immense talent of bron is garbage

Butthurt sports fans because Lavar talks too much. Lonzo barely even talks so you guys take it out on him because of your hatred towards his dad. I could understand if Lavar was a deadbeat father but he's not.

Poor Lonzo. Almost everybody (Homers and Haters) watch him just to impose their agenda on the kid. He's young. He's got potential. He's having a bad debut. So far the Haters are leading the debate today :lol:

So breaking news. According to the haters, Lonzo ball is career is set. He will be a bust and that's based on 3 quarters of summer league. Man, I wish their predictions for guys like Kris Dunn wasn't so off though.I mean he killed summer leauge last season.

God these ESPN announcers are garbage. Tommy Heinsohn would be embarrassed with how hard they are trying to hype up ball, and I'm a Laker's fan.

I think it's pretty clear now that Lonzo will likely never average 20ppg in a season (which is fine). JKidd should be his comparison not Magic.

Lonzo was always going to need 2 full years before he was going to be able to be effective in the NBA (which is fine it's the same thing with Ingram), but that got lost because of all the hype around him.
