Lakers: Lolongo.

Partially true...however, LaVar didn't hype up Russell or Ingram, yet there are threads just like this one calling them busts.

-25 points for tryna justify mid's BS.

Well I dont care Ingram, but I never liked DaSnitch because of that stupid laser video, they tried to sell he had some Terminator court vision or something.
But Lavar was the greatest, better than MJ and his kids multiple championships, now he is getting his money at expenses of his dumb son, lets have fun.

LeBron can bully ball his opponents by hook or by crook, so he gets away with that kind of three-point shooting. Lonzo needs to develop an outside shot if he wants defenses to honor him. His shooting will open up a lot of passing lanes. I'm not worried, his shot is starting to fall although he does really brick it badly when he misses.

Agreed. He said part of the reason for his early bad play was he wasn't in shape. I think he said the last time he played 5 on 5 was in the NCAA tourney (not really an excuse).

He has some skills to work with that will get better with time and experience. I'm looking forward to seeing him grow as a player.

Maybe AIDS can dump him with #gotsomeafricaninhim Deng's contract next summer

I'm going to leave this here for the rubes like Med who think I'm just "hating."

Look at how the pass-first PGs with suspect jumpers in Rubio and Rondo did in pick-and-roll situations. .80 PPP and .62 PPP respectively. Now compare those numbers to Thomas, Harden, Curry, Lowry, Lilliard, Irving, etc.

Longo is shooting 20 in' percent from 3 in SL, against truck drivers. Without that 3 point shot to pull out defenses, he won't be able to run an effective modern NBA offense.

Magic never had a 3 point shot. Kevin Johnson never had a 3 point shot. Mark Jackson never had a 3 point shot. The kid can shoot, he just needs to find his comfort zone. Kobe was airballing 3's as a rookie. Kid couldn't hit a 3 to save his life early on. Tony Parker never developed a 3 point shot, yet he was he'll in the pick and roll.

All those players aside from parker aren't modern players. Game has changed. The pick and roll is everything now.

Parker was a terror in the pnr, but he was the best penetrator in the league and had a knockdown 18 footer. Longo took 15 midrange jumpers all year.

That Ball boy looks awful good, mid. And you know I'm hard on light skinned s

14 points on 5-6 shooting, 10 assists at the half. Lonzo Ballin and ting on the non-believers.

Already the best PG in LA in his rookie season. Gook Nation is furious

[LkrFan]

Yawn. They are getting their asses handed to them. Lonzo 14/10/4 and counting

Smith bused his ass. Longo can't defend athleticismPERIOD.

That said he'll be a nice 12, 9, 8, 40ish percent shooter. Won't change the lakers fortunes, but will be an entertaining and controversial player to get people watching time warner again.

You had similar semen explosions after dbust's 40 point games. How did that pan out?

He used to be a bust not long ago. Now he's a 12/9/8 player. You'll come around mid

He doesn't need to be able to defend athletic PG's to impact the game, just look at Curry for example. Also that's why they got Pope.

Wrong about Paul, Curry and Mudiay withstanding and currently working on being wrong about Ball too

2nd picks are supposed to franchise changers. 12, 9, 8 ain't changing . So yeah. He'll be a bust relative to the hype and draft position.

Curry has a stacked defensive team behind him. Longo with Lopez (110 Def rating or something like that), short armed randle, and ingram. Ppe. Yeah, him and his 109 Def rating gonna plug a lot of leaks.

[Buddy Mignon]

The white man should be banned from doing anything other than shooting. Dribbling should be a crime.

[Bynumite]

Lonzo making accountants and car salesman look like NBA talent

As soon as he left the game things completely fell apart.

[midnightpulp]

FWIW, Pope had a -1.31 drpm last season. thinking he'll protect Longo.

Jesus, the lakers are gonna be trash defensively next season.

Kuzma, blue, and Thomas didn't miss a beat. Lakers should still win by dub digits.

Lonzo is a rookie playing alongside a bunch of rookies, 2nd and 3rd year players. Obviously it's gonna be a process. You acting like i'm out here making wild preditions for next season

I'm just asking you to not backpedal along the way and eat your sandwich when the time comes.

19-2 Dallas run after Lonzo left. One point game with 2 minutes to go. Whatever you say buddy

Yawn. Who cares? Zo won this H2H matchup. You farmers get all excited over ISO ball. How'd that workout with Uncle Drew vs Steph this year?

DSJ was getting bail out calls all night. If you like him over Lonzo wow, just wow.

Vander Blue (perennial D-League player) had as many assists as DSJ at the 2guard position. FOH sn.

Lonzo went out with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd and DSJ still lost!

Defense will be a major problem, as expected.
