Clearly. Lol

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, are you saying Fox is the better shooter? Or Ball?

Either way, it's Ball and it's not particularly close.

Just not when it matters I guess.

Kid seems uninterested and lazy out there to be honest

These things matter

Fox definitely has touch around the basket. He is 7-14 from 3 since 2/21 (7-15 including tonight).

Ball has yet to try to take the game over. He needs to do that for UCLA to have a chance.

That's how he looks/plays. West coast style. But as a lot of people have said all year, he can't get wherever he wants with the ball, and doesn't have the inside-the-arc game to take over a game offensively.

Personally the Rondo Experience has totally turned me off from pretty passers. Our offense was always middling with Rondo. Yes, we had some beautiful/amazing passes, but I see no reason to think this kid is the next JKidd, Steph, or (knock on wood) Celtic.

Think they tried to shift him over to Monk once he started getting hot, but it's just like a game of wack-a-mole since Ball is the only good UCLA perimeter defender.

I have a lot of faith in Fox man. His explosiveness is elite.

Shame this is a sweet 16 game. Two really fun teams. I've hardly been able to finish the games on the other side of the bracket.

Fox has Westbrook level athleticism

Agree on the Rondo part. I'll take the elite scorer over the elite creator 10/10 times. Ball plays a beautiful game but I want the most efficient and effective player

His defense hasn't been all that great tonight either.

I'm disappointed overall but Balls team is also much worse overall

It'll be fun hearing how LaVar tries to discredit Fox's performance tonight.

Ball is sleepwalking out there. Weird response from him in a big moment.

Now or never for UCLA

return2glory · Post #293 » by **return2glory** » Sat Mar 25, 2017 3:42 am

Some draft boards are going to be changing after this game.

Fox movin up, Ball moving down.

Fox is having a hell of a game. Very impressive

Ball's dad. Surely they'll have him on ESPN again soon.

This game is not making me want to buy $100 hats

UK won this game at halftime. UCLA usually wins when the score near or over 80 points a game. UK controlled the pace and held UCLA to 33 at the half. They have also controlled the pace in the 2nd half. Game over.

Lol. He is a nobody. The press has made him a somebody. F the press.

Everyone is talking about this clown. Giving him more attention.
