Lonzo Ball has the best IQ in the game. If you understand basketball, you will realize you put him at PG and you can put any type of player next to him. LeBron and PG didn't say he is a guy you want to play with for no reason. He is the real deal.
I was with ya till here..... How did you come to this conclusion?
I think he's got the makings of a good player but I've seen nothing that tells me he's a future Larry Bird type of guy who is one of the best BBIQ guys I've ever seen. He has a loooong way to go to be even a balanced player at this time. A PG shooting what he does from the FT line is a guy a good coach subs out in the final minutes of close games. Your evaluation has a lot of speculation as to his ability to improve mightily in some pretty basic parts of the game.
I'd think he's tradable on our end given the mentality of the FO..... do other GM's agree? That is the true evaluation IMHO. If he's a centerpiece that brings Leonard here you do that in a heartbeat if you're bringing in an old LeBron.
