Okay - just got home and turned this on, Lonzo Ball 2/11 in 24 mins - lol...

Ingram seems to be doing well though, but I guess he should be as he's an experienced NBA player.

Whoa - Russell is rhere - he's probably saying "can you believe these guys traded me for this guy?". Haha!

Can't wait to see the Sacramento guys next.

His defense doesn't look 'intense'.

He had some 2016 harden esque D. Not to mention he gets destroyed on PNR.

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


lol enjoy Hardaway JR

at least i am not delusional about it.

Meanwhile Porzingis/Ntilikina/Hernangomez/Hardaway jr>>>> Embust/Bustmons/Fultz

deal with it

lonzo ball looks like just another guy out there to me... he is 2 for 11 shooting... his shot has not translated so far and that is with teams going under every single screen giving him wide open looks.

He can NOT create for himself or others... if hes standing still and there are cutters he is great at making the nice pass, but when it comes to 1 on 1 with his defender he legit cant do anything and just passes the ball and runs to the corner

he is everything I thought he was... I am so happy we didnt draft this bust

Remember Embiid wanted Simmons to dunk as hard as he can on Lonzo. Waiting for that to happen if Simmons got the balls. :wink:

Ingram with a solid stat line but he's been pushed off his spot quite a bit still. He's still got some serious work to do in the weight room but the skills are for sure there.

Opposite end of the spectrum thornwell is a tough and physical guy. Got some Wes Matthews to his game

With Ingram everything is in weight (lbs). Him add 10 lbs he is good role player, 20 lbs on his weak ass skeleton body and he is actually good starter player. He adds 30 lbs he sure All-Star. He adds 40 lbs and he might end being HoFer.
