There is one guard who plays D. But the drawback is that he can't shoot for shit.

Josh Jackson looks like a star
>>76984092
No he didnt. He looked pretty good.
The stamina issues were concerning though.
>>76981887
So how well did Lonzo do, /nba/? Surely he was the elite passer everyone says he is and dropped at least 15 on 40% shooting, right?
Lonzo is so bad on defence. He was always a mile away from his man
Sum up Ball's first game in one word /nba/

Don't forget most of those passouts were poorly placed and didn't even lead to a shot.
This is like what happened with Tebow. His coach never corrected his form because it's good enough in the collegiate level. Now he's stuck with broke-ass mechanics that will take a while to correct if ever.

Literally EVERYBODY was saying his shot was broken as fuck and bound to get blocked constantly and that his defense was suspect. Don't know why he didn't spend the last year fixing those things so his first game wasn't this embarrassing.

The white boy Hayward is their best player

You don't even have to jump to block him

Is his broken jumper gonna somehow fix itself? Remember he wanted to go to the lakers. That's a lot of pressure. They're definitely gonna want results fast, especially when you consider the fact the hey the traded deangelo.
>>76984560
Hi Lavar
He better get real minutes this year
SO
Who's been the best top 3 pick so far??
HERE are the stats.
Fox and Buddy will take over the league.
This is John Wall and Ray Allen on the same team.
>>76982409
This isn't even his final form
>>76984588
ENUFFFFFFF
>>76984602
On Tatum's third game he was playing PF and some scrub was taking shots over him.
>>76984561
>Cambodian pacers fan
Magic Johnson jumped the gun trading Deangelo Russell. It's gonna look awful next summer after Ball has a horrible rookie season and none of the big game changing free agents join them with their freed up cap space (they already had enough cap space for one max, they think they are gonna get 2 stars lmao)
>>76984602
Tatum was better in his first two games but shit in his third one. Fultz is probably more consistent but Tatum's will have more games that are better than Fultz but more games that are much worse as well.
>>76984602
Personally I think Fultz, because in today's NBA the 3 ball is extremely important.
>>76984275

Tatum was playing his third game in 4 days and second in a row.
>>76984608
Add Jackson, Scal, Willie. Fucking unstoppable.
>>76984602
Why does Tatum have the least blocks when he's the biggest one?
>>76984624
Actually, the first half he was matched up against someone that he was completely dominating. And then in the second half, Utah put Mitchell on him and Mitchell feasted.
That Mitchell kid was really good defensively, seems to have a lot of potential.
>>76984738
Not his game I guess. Big time rebounder but not a shot blocker, weird mix.
>>76984164
Flat
I wanna fuck Booker, no homo.
>>76984689
The turnovers are killing his +/-
>>76984602
Fultz played a lot less minutes per game than the other two. Why?
>>76984742
Actually, the first half he was matched up against someone that he was completely dominating. And then in the second half, Utah put Mitchell on him and Mitchell feasted. That Mitchell kid was really good defensively, seems to have a lot of potential.
>>76984760
If he doesn't block people will just keep attacking him and he will become a liability on D
>>76984788
You're retarded
>>76984781
He doesn't have the stamina of the other 2
>>76984788
His defense has been surprisingly really good though. And blocking isn't everything for defense dude.
>>76984781
Stamina. They have to keep taking him out for 2-3 minutes at a time because he runs out of gas.
Should the Knicks sign oj mayo
>>76984781
nobody on the sixers did. they rotated their bench a lot more.
>>76984807
>And blocking isn't everything for defense dude.
Never said that "dude"
Ben dominates SL "Oh let's see him do that against real NBA players" Lonzo Ball looks like a bust in his 1st SL game "Oh it's summer league and his 1st game"
>>76984847
how was simmons in the regular season?

Im no laker fan at all but I really want lonzo to succeed. Same with Fox, Fultz, Jackson, Smith Jr and tatum. Its pretty sad that you all are happy seeing lonzo struggling

>>76984847
Ben Simmons has has an entire year of fucking training. Don't get me that "he's been injured" bullshit, he's been training with NBA coaches and professionals being forcefed NBA-level conditioning and video tapes behind the scenes.
Lonzo has been living it up in college, being allowed to be a kid and probably figuring out how to get laid and fucking girls.Do you see the difference here? Ben Simmons for the past year has been doing nothing but non-stop NBA level training.
In a year of training in the hyperbolic time chamber Vegeta went from getting his ass beat by the androids to being able to toy with cell's second form. Think of what lonzo will do with one year under magic johnson's tutelage? A year in the NBA is a looooooong time

>using garbage anime to support your reasoning
Embarrassing
Let's be honest here the real winners of that draft are SAC, Boston and the Mavs.
SAC got two picks.
Boston got what they needed with Tatum and got Hayward in FA.
Mavs basically got a steal in Smith Jr (Knicks are fucking idiots for letting him slide) and got ANOTHER STEAL with projected first round pick but went undrafted Motley. Motley showed in Summer League the dude can still ball.
Why the fuck did the Cavs want Jeff Green? He's on the wrong side of 30 with multiple injuries and doesn't have a solid old man game. I hope he's just being used as sign and trade bait for melo. Couple of first round picks and Green should be enough.
>Daily reminder we are the future
>>76985075
Boston lost the draft, trading away Fultz on a rookie deal when IT a 30yo manlet who will get paid the max
>>76985084
Worked out with Deron Wil- Oh right.
Fox and Jackson both look good too.
This draft might have been really, really good.

I'm a Dallas fan so, yeah, rather win now than rebuild for 3 seasons like Dallas is doing right now.

Bully ball is dead
Deangela Russell is a bust
Ingram isn't even an ingot
Ball can't ball
>>76985457
Time to retire #1 and hang it from the rafters
>>76985538
They only need Thomas to get Hayward signed.
Now that Hayward is almost signed and Thomas asking for a max they can now flip him later in the season or let him go during the offseason.

>>76985573
but the mystery box could be anything, it could even be another Jaylen Brown
>>76985573
I still don't understand why you hold onto Brown AND Tatum when you are in 'win now' mode. It's only detrimental for the young talents to sit on the bench so much and you can get veteran role talent from a rebuild team.
These negros got to calm it down with these spaghetti haircuts.

Is it possible Magic is purposefully destroying the Lakers because they gave him aids? I mean what else justify the Lonzo pick?
Lonzo doesnt have good handles
He cant run the pnr
He cant shoot off the dribble
He cant blow by defenders
He literally cant do anything a modern point guard is asked to do
I guess he is an OK cutter and has good size, so basically he is like Michael Kidd Gilchrist without the defense
hell be in china by 2019 lmfao

I'm predicting Lakers go from 1/100 -> 1/500 after Lonzo's summer league.
OKC should shoot up to 1/10
>>76985788
>He literally cant do anything a modern point guard is asked to do
He can pa- Oh wait.
>>76985755
And they weren't going to give up anything crucial to the rebuild in the meanwhile.
And they didn't even do the trade idiot.
>>76985755
>believing Danny Ainge damage control news
Kevin Pritchard already came out and claimed that the offers he received from leaked reports were shit compared to OKC. He could be lying but why would he cover Ainge's ass?
>>76985805
passing doesnt matter if you cant get by people off the dribble lmfao
>>76985798
Very good now, fairly low ceiling. Will probably top out as a decent starter on most teams, but never an all-star.

He isn't a passer or rebounder/defender or player either.
>>76985850
He's not a defender/passer/ball-handler either.
What the fuck did the coaching staff tell Lonzo to do this game? He barely drove to the hoop like Fox is doing now
Lonzo confirmed for small baller. Lavar bout to suit up for the next game.
>>76985884

Larry Bird was a good GM, made a decent contender in the early 2010 Pacers. I think his downfall was the Evan Turner trade, Pacers were on top of the world and trading away Danny Granger really ended that early 2010s Pacers contending team.
>>76985945
Don't forget trading D'Lo for washed up Lopez
>>76985964
Danny Granger got injured and was never the same again.
He rebounded with Paul George and Kawhi but fucked it up by sending him to the Spuds.
>>76985961

>>76985956
Labbisiere is getting bullied on the boards by pheonix
>>76985924
He got blocked early on and showed 0 aggressiveness afterwards, preferring to defer to his team mates. He only chucked when he was wide open, desu a pretty high BBIQ thing to do. The only problem was he was wide open a lot because he was missing.
One of the quietest, least selfish 2-15 chucking games I'd ever seen somehow.
>>76985942
>>76985937
>>76985922
I thought you guys knew basketball. Bird already resigned months ago. He also built up the Pacers of the late 90s into 2004, when Malice at the Palace wrecked everything. Still, his recent moves have been pretty bad.
>>76985972
Were you even watching basketball in 2014? The Pacers were on a hot streak, looked better than the Heat, then after the deadline when they traded Granger for Evan Turner they went to shit.
>>76985983
there could actually be something to that, Lonzo is basically playing in poorly cobbled together scraps of fabric.
would be funny if his dad ruined his career trying to shill shoes.
>>76985983
Dude what the fuck is wrong with this pompous ass people like damn.

>>76986020
I know, but the Pacers were 42-13 before they traded Granger and finished 56-26 after they traded him. He was a big locker room guy and still was a decent contributor off the bench for the second unit. Meanwhile the Clippers went 16-4 after they signed Granger.
>>76986007
Yeah I hate to admit reddit is right but the guy has a point. But you can't blame the shoes on the shot not falling...or can you?
>>76986041
Tatum and Ingram will let each other score. Dukies look out for each other.
>>76986084
I wish Danny would let Jaylen play just to embarrass Ingram.
Just against the Lakers. Only time I would consider it a must for Jaylen to go out there (and start the 2 like he did in the first Summer League game *cough*)
>>76986073
They already know Klay is leaving, most likely to Blazers (home town) or Lakers (2nd home town) depending on if PG-13 and Bron go there.
>>76986019
I literally can't even imagine a scenario in my head where lonzo outplays tatum. He has no confidence in himself at all and can't handle the pressure of being a big baller. He can't shoot, he can't play defense, he can pass but how will he outplay tatum with passing when his teammates can't make shit???
Thought Fox and both Jackson's looked good. Is Giles still injured? Don't remember seeing him in the game.
Lebron shot 2-14 during his final Summer League game.

Kill me.
If Lonzo doesn't break double digit points then he is OFFICIALLY a bust.
>>76985274
Why the fuck would he ever take a pay cut? He's playing his best and he's gonna be 30 soon, nigga would be legit retarded to turn down what is gonna be his biggest payday.
>>76986126
Here lad. But I'm /LaMelo/ now.
Lavar talked his son into being a top draft pick, and Magic was banboozled. Fox should have been the pick. Lonzo is with us now, and I'll stop shitting on him once the real season starts.
>>76985274
He'll get the max from the Knicks or something.
>>76986108
klay is definitely leaving
he's the most replaceable player, he played like shit the entire playoffs until the finals when he still played like shit on offence
his defence is arguably best at the SG position in the league which would be missed, but honestly with KCP, batum, avery bradley, or patrick beverly the warriors would still win
I tried telling y'all his only offensive move is a stepback 3 and that wasn't going in. He's a Laker now so I'm fully behind him and hope he turns into a superstar but his game is very concerning to me.
Magic Johnson's single achievement as an executive was being the smiling blackface front for Jewish business ventures. Somehow the Lakers thought that qualified him to run a basketball team.
>>76986119

ANOTHER FKING 2ND PICK DOING GARBAGE IN THE FIRST GAME. CAN WE GET A SURE FIRE PLAYER FOR ONCE. FOR ONCE I WANNA SEE OUR ROOKIE DOMINATING FFS
>>76986163
I wonder why they started Demetrius in the first two games. They really wanted him not to completely be a bust.
But Nader isn't that much better. And he's going to ball-hog again.
I had more faith in DLo. He may have started slow, but he had a good shot and decent dribbles. Ball's shot is so busted he's never going to make it long-term if they don't do something about it.
Danny's game is way above your heads. He sees all, knows all. Do not doubt the Moaning Mormon.
>>76986146
I think it should have been Josh Jackson. Doesn't have the wingspan to cut it at SF fulltime and they already had Ingram, so plop him at SG and let him develop there with his non-stop motor.
deangelo russel is not worse than lonzo ball
next season next to jeremy lin he's probably going to average like 20-25 a game easily
>>76986172
There hasn't been a great 2nd overall pick since fucking Durant. Just good. Here are the guys chosen at 2 in the drafts since

Draymond is the most replaceable, he defense was trash in the Finals and he's never threat to score at all.. Klay always takes Curry's man on D which saves Curry for Offense.
Take Klay away and Golden State turns into OKC lite, Curry is already in his 30s and is past his prime, Draymond also has already peaked as a player. Klay can still grow, you'll see when Klay is gone.

Possibly because the 2nd overall pick is obviously not as good as 1, but then he also isn't good enough to warrant a trade down and the spot is too high to reach for certain guys that can be had 4-5 spots later.

>>76984632
Agreed. He was so eager to make moves he jumped the gun. Dlo will probably drop 40 on them this year
>>76986336
Draymond is the weakest member from that line up, defenses don't care about him, he can't score, he can't shoot FTs and becomes a walking foul/tech when they face good teams and he has to defend good players.
Draymond on any other contending team is coming off the bench, you'll see when Klay is gone.
>>76986370

Nobody even realizes that the only reason Dallas didn't reach the playoffs was because of that 2-17 start. After that they went of a streak, won 60+% of their games, even against the better teams in the NBA.

And of course, if Embiid ever figures out his health situation, he would be one of the better players in the NBA.
But for the most part I agree.

Lonzo Ball is literally great at nothing when it comes to basketball.. I'm a god damn laker fan too. This guy is just not great at one single aspect in the sport that is basketball. That turn around jumper from the corner literally gave me cancer... He looks like Kevin Martins retarded brother Devin Martin or some shit. At least Kevin was a GREAT scorer on and off the dribble.

But they said the same for Ingram and look at him now. He was dominating on the court today taking it to the paint.
He ain't afraid to take it to the paint and use his body.
>>76987082
Ingram was pretty meh desu. He was basically playing bully ball, which is fine in the summer league, but none of that will translate to actual NBA games when he's being guarded by grown men and not twinks fresh out of college.
>>76986280
He can ball though, that size... holy

>>76987082
Ingram wasn't dominating for 85% of the game. He was looking kind of unimpressive for a 2nd year rookie that averaged 30 minutes of playtime last year.
The final 2-3 minutes was when he really looked good. But the dude is way too sloppy with the ball.
>Dan PfeifferVerified account @danpfeiffer
>Lonzo's performance makes sense when you remember that he never

Thinking about it, isn't Lonzo basically totally doomed? He has subpar athleticism, he's not THAT big, and his shot is fucked up. Sure he has "high basketball IQ" and "great court vision," but doesn't he just sort of lack some of the basic tools to be an elite player? Did LaVar sucker everyone?
>>76987445
So he's basically Ricky Rubio lite?
>>76987445

Jason Kidd was drafted in round 1 pick 2 just like lonzo ;)
