I'm happy for the Suns and Jackson - hopefully he can keep this effort up. If it does he projects as a very valuable player down the line.

Yup.

I always knew Lonzo would come around, even before the slump...he was proving his smarts and skills, just wasnt hitting shots.
He will always be a pass first anyways so..

But with more time and practice.. that shot will be reliable and haters would eat crow.

Now only if his dad would shut up.

solid contributor from the #30 pick!!!

There are three certainties in life: Death, Taxes, and the Lakers having a late-round rookie be a contributer for them.

Certainty 3B is that the guy gets injured as soon as we start to like him.

Hope they don't wuss out and give Zo sparing minutes if he's healthy.

Lonzo with a great game today!

8/7/6/6 steals
+24 on the team and just giving Miami no chance.

Luke called him the best player on the floor.

His basketball instincts are off the charts.

Only took 5 shots and was "probably the best player on the floor tonight"

Was really really close to having a quadruple double...If he wasn't injured, he would be without a doubt be the ROY. Alot better version of Simmons and puts up better numbers than Mitchell.
When was the last time a rookie scored a quadruple double? Lonzo has a chance in the remaining games I think. No other rookie can come close to putting up numbers like that, he is by far the best defender in the rookie class as well. BY FAR.

Simmons is going to be the ROTY and I think it’s no longer a question

No handle to create space for himself. No wingspan to get off clean looks for himself. That's why I wanted no parts of him with any pick in the lotto.

Jarrett Allen with 14 points and 11 rebounds tonight against the Kings. He seems to be quietly having a good rookie season.

Before Butler trade he's who I wanted the Bulls to pick at 16.

Mitchell’s usage rate is 28, Simmons 23 and Taytumis going at 18!
I see Taytums Overall year being more impressive then Mitchell’s and also being the 4th youngest player in the nba I’d take him over Mitchell for the future.

Only the biggest Celtic homers would even consider having Tatum above DM in ROTY.

So while you’ve gained respect with the some of the leprechauns, you’ve lost respect with the rest of the board
