You mean to say 4-year college players look more seasoned than a one and done? Quelle surprise

Didnt expect to see how much Ball is struggling to create seperation for a main ball handler.

Next we're gonna start hearing Laker fans asking for hockey assists to be officially counted in box scores.


I saw the hockey assist. If ball has a bad game, you know Lakers fans will say, "well, he does things that don't show up in the stats sheet."

ESPN wants us to believe that Lonzo is like Magic in his prime, though. :lol:

What's his skill set he can't do anything in pick and roll his assists are off fast break or making an extra pass

Yep I get it. Lonzo will never learn how to run a pick and roll offense. He is what he is at 19 yrs old. Obviously players never get better especially when they have the best trainers in the world. SMH!

He's going to struggle defensively because of his size. He struggles with creating his own shot. His game has always had some major flaws.

Yo if this Lonzo kid can't dribble in the halfcourt(could be hyperbole I mean it's his first game with pro players) or run a PnR isn't that a HUGE problem.? He had NO clue in that PnR just now

Why are people talking about Lonzo's creation in the half court now? Did anyone actually watch UCLA player last year? He's not a getting into the paint unless it's off ball cutting or in transition. He does his damage out on the perimeter

I love how summer league games bring out the best of homerism.

1. The guy on your team plays well -> he's going to be the next superstar.
2. The guy on your team plays horribly -> it's only summer league.

OMG ball with shooting % like Smart. I expected his debut would be bad due to pressure and all, but this even worse I did think.
