Fultz
Jackson
Fox


These please.

It is clear now that KGLL is related to Ball family. Glad Danny is going to stay as far away from this looming disaster as possible. My prayer is that the Lakers get Ball.


 Wait, what did I do this time? Fox was brilliant. I saw a little bit of quit in Ball tonight.
 Lavar Balls big mouth caught up with him.

 Disappointed by his defensive effort, he was challenging shots, but I got the sense that Ball wasn't trying that hard to win.

 Hats off to Fox though, what a performance. He gave Ball and his loudmouth dad a taste of why you should be humble.

 Ball still will make a great pro. The defensive effort was concerning though. What kind of defender is Fultz? I've seen some great chase down blocks, but would like to know more about his man to man defense.

His D effort was so so no doubt

He just wants to play street ball out there it looks like

If you bother his jump shot , he is going to have a hard time (like last night)

Tbh I think like  Buddy Hield (plus his Dad baggage), he is going to drop come draft night
Buddy didnt really drop on draft night. He was in the 3-8 range predraft and thats where he went.

The fact that Ball cant score going to his right is really bad. The fact that his effort was so-so in the sweet 16 in a game where he had a chance to prove that he can defend and score on NBA level athletes is worse.

bad bad look for Lonzo.

Still a top-4 pick for me. Easy too.

Id probably take Jackson or Tatum over him tho.

Does Ball's father annoy you enough to sway you away from Lonzo?

This guy now has the ear of the sports media, and he loves it. If his kid doesn't go to his "Lakers" is he going to be the loudest back seat driver of all time?

Yeah totally, at this point Lavar is more "famous" than Lonzo. Lavar would go ballistic if he hears that Lonzo would be coming off the bench for like 2 seasons at Boston.

I hope he does go to the Lakers

It will be just another impediment to their three ring circus


Lavar + Magic Johnson + plus That Buss Woman .......what a riot. .....they all deserve each other.

You know there is a problem when the thread is supposed to discuss Lonzo but most of the talk is about Lavar. I hope Danny stays clear of these guys.

I've had Ball at #3 for a while, but I'm leaning toward putting him at #4 now.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

You guys ever think that maybe... he didn't want to look that favorable and maybe slide to the Lakers? I know it sounds ridiculous, but if his dad is going to force his way, his terrible outing could help guarantee it.

Guaranty Ball goes top 3 and probably top 2.

Good god, read this article about "the dad."

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2017/03/23/coaching-lavar-balls-sons-inside-high-school-basketballs-most-chaotic-303-season/99543018/

TP for posting that article, but now it just makes me want to stay as far away from Lavar as possible - YIKES!  :o

Hopefully he would respect Brad more than Gilling.

I want no part of this kid - between his wacked-out daddy and his lack of defensive grit, he is not going to fit in with our current group. Then, there is that weird shooting form - is that gonna fly in the pros ?

His high school team had his brothers, who many believe will be better than Lonzo.

Huh ? My understanding is just the opposite.

 Lonzo is the best. The little brother has a chance, he's really crafty, but he's tiny and not as athletic.

 The other brother is a Power player but is severely undersized to play PF.
