Lonzo Ball with 36/8/11

I have imitators? They ain't shit compared to the real Sen dog

Wow Mock is such an expert on the rookies NOT.

Bamm Adebayo can play. If you bring weak stuff into the lane when Bam is there its' going to end up TEN rows back

Jason Kidd DOMINATED for years. Great player. Zo will be great too. My boy Dennis Smith looked superb at summer league

Quite a few 'strong' discussions out there on Lonzo's SL performances. Whether he can translate his SL performance to regular season vs. real NBA players, well I'm looking forward to finding that out. More Jason Kidd than anyone else at this stage.

Another TD from Ball today. 16/10/12 with 5 steals. 7 turnovers but he might be pushing some adventurous passes to wow crowds while he's playing SL level.

Simmons plus this draft class is going to make for a very competitive ROTY in 2017/18.

I think his basement is MCW if he can't develop an NBA shot - he does a lot of things pretty well. His ceiling... well... if he can stop guys sagging off him and going under screens to take away his passing lanes by knocking down the 3, his ceiling is pretty darn high.

I still think he's more of a trick passer than a Jason Kidd as far as being a floor general goes... Seems to prefer the tricky pass than the right basketball play (ie. shot) when going to the basket, which is almost Rondo-esque at times.

I would've drafted Fox over him on draft night, but Fox is much more of a boom/bust type of player IMO. Fox's shot motion is definitely easier to fix, at least... and he's closer to the other elite PGs that have come into the league over the past half-decade or so in size/athleticism. Ball is pretty unique, which might be a good thing. We'll see.

What's his most likely player comparison? I assumed Jason Kidd, but these Summer League highlights are all I've seen. Kidd's shooting improved a bit during his career, didn't it?

The passing is great, but that shooting action is ugly and only time will tell if it is effective.

I also think once he gets scouted a bit by NBA teams the dinky little scoop layups are going to get returned to him with interest. Maybe not, but I don't think he gets as much room to move among the big boys.

LaVar would've had 72/16/22.

It's his vision that gets people excited. Bigs that run the floor are going to love playing with him

^ some amazing statlines in that link. Against NBA players, too.

3/10 from 3pt land is an improvement, but over 3 games his % is still dire. We'll see. That shot is going to play a big part in determining what kind of player he'll be.

That would explain a lot.

^^ Hahaha good one Sen dogg!

LEAVE LONZO ALONE!!!!11

(in leave Britney alone voice)

Yinka Dare you imbecile.

Shades of grey people.

After the first game people are asking if he is a bust.

Now we have the exact opposite contrast after this game people are saying the people asking if he was a bust were imbeciles. Puzzling.

No individual Summer League game makes or breaks the career of a top two pick.

Did he really change shoes? haha interesting... #bigballerfail

Since he switched to the Nike Kobe's his numbers have skyrocketed.
Big Baller Brand Shoes A Bust?

That poster an imbecile?

It's merely a question

proof that the old cliché "there's no such thing as a stupid question" is bollocks.
hell of a stat line today.

In fairness to the other thread the title was "Lonzo Ball A Bust?" not "Lonzo Ball A Bust!"

It was merely a question.

please tell me
