Lonzo has a quick first step, he's a lot more athletic than people give him credit for.

ball drafted for his great passing and vision...cause he'll never score much, his shot looks streaky, D needs to improve, and the dribbling needs to improve for PG standards...his potential is hard to judge right now

Lakers Nwaba and Hart are doing a pretty good job on Brown and Tatum. Brown doesn't look too good right now.

I think Lonzo is the 2nd best passer to come out in a while behind Ben Simmons. The both are just on another level.

Tatum hasn't done too much so far.

If his goal is to make me never even think about wanting to buy any BBB brand stuff, he is a genius. I didn't have any interest before, but he is doing a good job of making sure I never change my mind. Not that he knows anything about price points anyway to where, even if I truly thought he was a marketing genius, it doesn't matter how well you market it if you know nothing about how to set the right price point.

Lonzo will look even better when he gets to play with NBA talent.

It's hard to tell so far lol. Sometimes it feels like Tatum isn't playing.

It's hard to determine too much until they play in regular season games. I imagine Ball will look better when he plays with better teammates as well, as sometimes people may not be as ready for his passes at this point. Once his teammates really get used to when to expect passes it should be really fun to watch.

Lonzo looks a lot more assertive tonight. Getting into the paint at will, pushing tempo. That's his game. Still obviously has limitations offensively and needs to improve on defense, but he's exactly who I thought he'd be. Just needs a better team around him.

Lonzo is definitely much better tonight. You can see he's more aggressive.

I think Lonzo's game will look a lot better once he is more familiar in Luke's system and has NBA players on the floor with him.

Typically how it is for passers in SL, was saying this about Simmons as well. SL is for scorers.
