I'm disappointed in Bender. Screams bust to me with the 4th pick.
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

I feel bad for those other players on the Lakers cause they are never going to get any credit or attention as long as this media diva and his dad are a part of their franchise. And Laker fans think this circus is going to attract FA's? I think it will be the opposite.


What Lonzo did last night will translate a hell of a lot easier to regular season NBA basketball than what Tatum did.

What bricking 3's?

DSJ looks like a man out there - he is so athletic and smooth. He makes Lonzo look like a little boy highschooler. I bet the Lakers are pissed they took Ball over DSJ :lol:

Collins game is one you wouldn't think would translate to the NBA. That's why he fell in the draft. If he is scoring this effeciently in the regular season a lot of scouts will be humbled.

Phoenix is going to regret passing on DSJ for a long time.

Again, chill on the Summer League hype. Anthony "Magic" Randolph was a god among men out there during Summer League. DSJ will be a good pro, he's too talented and athletic not to, but he reminds me so much of Steve Francis, who wasn't exactly a franchise savior. He'll put up #'s, but will it translate to wins? We'll see.

Bender I'm highly confident will be a bust, though. He was lousy his first season and looks no better now.

Can't believe the Mavs got DSJ at 9. My top ranked 17 prospect.

U dont think every team in the league would be happy with steve francis at the 9th pick?

I'm not salty. Just looking beyond scoring numbers. Had hoped he'd be more of a force on D by now. Has all the tools and talent, but can't seem to put it the focus in that end. Misses the smarts to make a diferencce there (up til now).

Chriss thinks he's an all-star who doesn't belong in the SL. He doesn't give a ****.

6 for 25 24% from the field, 12 turnovers and 12 fouls through 2 games.


-19 in this game, Bender at -4.

If dsj turns into 80 percent of steve francis then that pick is a steal.
