So this is what Ball looks like when his shots aren't falling?

FWIW, most of those 3s are WIDE OPEN. Kendal Marshall, known for his elite defense, were intentionally going under the screen and sleeping.

Ball should feast on transition & driving to the basket when his shot aint falling.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Fox's jumper is broke, but he's good.

Best injured, sidelined prospect since Greg Oden for sure.



Lonzo would've played a better game tonight sitting on the bench. You better hope his ugly ass can do anything else besides swinging the ball.

If Ball made the plays Fox did today ESPN would be going nuts

These commentators would've been like "Wow he's too good! Look at all those contagious passes! Let's do another interview with Lavar!".

Fox is making good passes for sure.

In the NBA I'd rather have a skilled guard that is really fast and athletic, but can't shoot (Fox)... than a guy who can shoot and pass but has no athleticism (Ball)...

Ideally you get them both together and end up with someone like Chris Paul.

Just so I know. Will this be the content in the conversation surrounding Lonzo all year or will y'all chill out at some point this season?

One game...damn man. Dudes like Brandon Jennings had GOAT type first games and they are pretty much bench warmers now. It is summer league, give the guy some time. You can call the kid a a bust if he stinks it up after 2 years in the NBA.

Man... A point guard that can actually dribble. Celtics summer league team is starved for point guard play. This game is refreshing.

Did you see Lonzo work the pick and roll?! It was like watching MKG shoot
