Its a only a black hole when you're not decisive.
Tatum is going into his arsenal right away. Melo is clearing out and sizing up for 20 seconds

But i see the comp.

Unbiased opinion here...Simmons focuses a lot more on getting his own assists, Lonzo is just focused on the right pass whether it's a hockey assist or not.

Agree.. biggest difference is Simmons goes "assist hunting".. whereas Zo is more of an "empowering passer" with his hockey assists and passing the ball up court versus quickly dribbling it up. You don't see that type of unselfishness from pgs in either era to be honest.. Even pass first pgs from both eras prefer to have the ball in their hands to set up scoring plays. Lonzo will give it up early as he trusts his teammates and he knows good things will happen more times than not...

How does he go assist hunting? He makes passes that give his teammates easy baskets.

Dazzling. Can he be a triple double machine as a rookie ?

Agree with the Tatum and Melo comparison.. Tatum is the typical iso.. dribble air out of the ball scorer

Hopefully Tatum turns out better than Melo.

I really think people are not putting into context what Lonzo's trying to accomplish. It actually takes time to learn how to be a real NBA PG. It takes time to learn to balance looking for your shot and creating for others. When you are a scorer like Tatum, you just come in and score. The game is straightforward. But when you are trying to run a team, while trying to balance creating your own shot and setting up your teammates, it's going to take time. I've seen a solid 70% to 80% of John Wall's games from his first summer league. You have to give young PG's time to develop and learn the position. Very excited to see what Lonzo will be capable of in his prime. Also, I really liked that he took Jackson in the post. It adds a wrinkle to his game that could be potentially troublesome for teams going forward.

I know it's just the summer league, but if 5 or 6 players from this draft are better than Tatum than this will be one hell of a class. Tatum just looks so fundamentally sound out there.

Kmart didn't do a wind up, the release just looked awkward

He'll have better teammates to pass too in the regular season so i expect multiple triple doubles.

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.
