Everyone compares Ball to Kidd but against Kentucky today he looked like Rondo to me

Barely average Defense at best , low energy , he avoided contact , seemed to,avoid probing into the paint. Worst , Ball seemed to shrink when the pressure got turned up. He will be lucky to be taken 4 or 5 pick now . Big mouth father go home

Only a freshman, Ball came in and took control of a veteran team. Without him, UCLA probably would not have made the tournament. He's a team focused, pass oriented player. He can be effective with and without the ball. He certainly has areas to work on but so do all the other draftees. This performance will mean little for his draft prospects. His body of work this season is impressive. He'll need to perform well in the workouts but I expect he'll still go top 3. If the Lakers keep their pick, I think he goes there. Then they can move Russell to SG where he should be. For us, I definitely prefer Fultz or Jackson.

My point is that he's nit the number 1 pick because he doesn't score. Saying he's no better than number 2 isn't exactly killing the guy.
this out of nowhere player Jordan Bell .... impressive 6'10 pf... good rebounder... energy player... pretty explosive/strong... decent passer and improved shooter
