why did he slip to the 2nd? whats the knock on him?


He plays very stiff. He is bouncy but again plays pretty stiff, and isnt a great rebounder.

Lonzo's defense is pretty bad. He's getting blown by on every play.

Damn Lavar Ball lied to me, I thought Lonzo was supposed to be better than Steph Curry right now.

Aside from their passing they're not alike. Lonzo can shoot, Rubio could defend.

Lonzo's quick crosscourt outlet pass is so underrated. Really keeps the defense off balance and sets up easy buckets, even if they don't always show up for him in the Assist column.

Can we all agree that Ingram would have gone number 1 in this draft?

Difference between Lonzo and Ricky is that Lonzo could take over a game offensively. Rubio cannot.

Lonzo clearly needs to work on his body in order to meet the physicality of the NBA....that being said, you can't tell those outlet passes and ball movement aren't impressive. Lonzo will really suffer playing defense against NBA talent, but he'll also really shine in running an offense with NBA talent teammates.
