I would pay good money to see the Lakers draft someone other than Lonzo and see Lavar's immediate reaction.

Saying Lonzo is unathletic is one of the biggest lies reporters are clinging to

Dude isn't super athletic but he's definitely above average

It's probably becaus e DSJ, Fultz and Fox are all athletic freaks.

Lonzo Ball is a better athlete then you guys understand.

I'm not saying he isn't athletic, but saying dat athleticism when talking about maybe the least athletic of the top 6 picks is funny.

Honestly, I've completely flipped on Lonzo after studying him more. He basically reminds me of a better Devin Booker imo

Lonzo is a weird prospect because he mainly scored through the most efficient types of shots and most other things have a small sample size. He's weak in certain areas, but the things he does well are insane.

I want this, his attempts are the strong indicator of his potential success imo

But rumors coming out now Lakers wouldn't take him...

He'd be good on Philly at least, if we don't take Zo I wanna trade down

Lonzo and Booker have physical similarities, but their games are different.

I wouldn't listen to any reports you see for or against any players. There's a lot of noise going on and agents trying to pump their players. The Lakers haven't even started working out the top prospects yet.

Great shooters, similar size, both are not supremely athletic but have surprising athleticism, similar attitude on court.

I think Lakers are going for JJ tbh
Booker is a scorer who tries to get his shot going, Ball is a distributor who takes what the defense gives him. I can't imagine Ball ever having the offensive skill that Booker brings to the table.
 
Ball/Booker comp is a weird one, they're pretty much polar opposites, one is a gunner who hasn't shown much play making skill and the other is a gifted play maker who hasn't really shown to be someone with a high scoring ceiling nor one who wants to be that.

They would have been a perfect back court pairing in Phoenix if they stayed in the 2 spot.
 
How did I not know this existed?

https://streamable.com/oj6pc - Chris Mannix explaining to Cowherd why he's an idiot and why the C's should take Fultz.

Related to this, Fultz is meeting with the C's management and working out/undergoing a physical over Monday and Tueaday according to Woj.

Next season, the rebuilt Lakers and Celtics will beat the Warriors and Cavs in their respective conference finals and bring back real basketball, sponsored by BBB.
