Lonzo has to be in heaven right now. The dude has 7 assists to 0 turnovers in just 15 minutes. So many easy assists for him this year. Zion doing his thing, pick and pop with Favors, JJ and all the other bench shooters, Jah with the easy dump off passes. Plus a freakishly high pace.

Lonzo league leader for assists this year?

Somebody on IG said it looks like when you drop a lollipop on the carpet.

I felt bad for laughing at that one.

Man once RJ can shoot, and hit his FTs he’s going to be the franchise. He can do it all aside from that aspect

his BBIQ is the most underrated thing about him, not just an athlete he's a legit bball player


The BBIQ on knowing where and when to cut, mixed with his freakish athletic ability, plus his fantastic touch around the rim. Dude will feast on easy baskets.

Him and Favors were a wreck defensively though. Miscommunication after miscommunication defensively in the 1st half between those two.

RJ Barrett looking like a killer out there man sheeeeesh

Started off with 3 in the first half .. 16 with an entire quarter to go

He is involved big time in every way. Hit 2 threes and banging down low

Defense looks great

I know we should be above criticizing players' defense in preseason, especially rookies, but I sure wish Zion actually put in some effort.

I've been on the Orlando is being slept on train this offseason. They're an Isaac breakout away from moving up a tier. He was uneven in game 1, looking better tonight. Bamba contributing yet again.

The defense for this Hawks team will be bad. Jones looks like he's dumb as a box of rocks.

Who is watching Pelicans vs Hawks... Is Zion really great or just glorified dunker?
