Lonzo Ball summer league debut against the Clippers- 5 points: was he oversold?

Lonzo is average as fuck, bruh. And that's ok. He'll get better over time, but I don't see the stardom yet.

he ain't shooting like Steph, scoring like KD or dominating games like Bron coming out of UCLA. He's not a great defender and semi athletic.

He average as hell and if any of us so called basketball enthusiast (analyst, experts) would have hype Lonzo up the way his father do, kats would have been all on your neck.

He ain't all that. He will get better though. How much is still to be determined.
You better be careful Bruh. A LOT of Dudes here have Lonzo-itis and may get a bit defensive at your viewpoint :smh:
 
5 Points?... that's all this kid had in his debut

he was not oversold if you keep things in context.

The Ball hype came from his daddy not NBA vets and experts.

If Lavar Ball tells you he out ran a Cheetah, you know it was an old house cat.

Lavar Ball exaggerates everything.
Yeah, but the network led in with a 5 minute vignette on him, and spent 70% of the broadcast either riding his nuts or copping pleas for him. He was for damn sure overhyped Bruh, which is why his ass cheeks play was so magnified....
 
Lonzo is a pass first player. He was drafted to give you 30 pts a night. He was playing with a bunch of bums who will be valet parking cars in 2 weeks.

It was just Ball and Ingram out there.

Lonzo needs some steak, potatoes and piles of weights.
Nah Bruh, it was just Ingram out there, Ball didn't do shit. And if he's a pass first PG then his ass shouldn't be jacking up 11 3s especially when he's shooting bricks..... And when he misses, his shit bounces of the rim hard as fuck. He was really shooting bricks out there Bruh... :lol:
 
I mean his pops antics aside... It looked like a dude that hadn't balled in awhile playing ball with an off J... But he kept shooting, which to me may signal he's got more Kobe in him than Magic. That's what got my interest.
You want another chucker? You see players like Durant and curry and say nah. I likes me some volume shooters.

I didn't say it was good or bad. Just taking note that he didn't go Magic the way the scouts have told us he would.
 
He's a pass first kind of PG. I doubt he'll ever average more than 15 ppg. At least let it be a regular season game before people pick him apart. The scrutiny is a bit ridiculous, but this is also the bed his father made for him :smh:

I hear people keep saying this... then he shouldnt be bricking 11 3ptr attempts in a single game then. Should take his fathers advice and 'stay in his lane' :hmm:
 
NFL players get hurt in training camp, right? So once you learn to dangers of going hard or some fool going too hard in camp, the vets don't go hard in camp. Some pay the fine and miss some of the camps to stay healthy. Same applies here. Some fool trying to get a rep block your shot too hard and injure before the reals seasons start. Nah. Play well, protect yourself. Be ready for the season injury free.

if you play worried about injury, you won't be in the league too long
 
Fuck the dumb shit, Lonzo balled with some below avg dudes tonight. No Brandon Ingram to give the assist to and still got a triple-dub (good game Kuzma). He looked comfortable. Liked what i saw from the Laker squad but if the Celtics don't start Tatum, they stupid as fuck, that boy got game to the n-th degree!!!

Tatum's nice
 
Tatum looks like a star. Ball is a pass first PG when he does that he will be alright. Fox looks like a star he quick as heck. Fultz is just a great scorer. But TATUM looks like he is the best player in this draft......the celtics got a grant hill in him.
 
You dudes put way too much stock in summer league

Kyle Anderson is a former summer league MVP . :hmm:

Stop, Grant Hill could do more than score
 
Some other winners

2012: Damian Lillard, Josh Selby2013: Jonas Valanciunas 2014: Glen Rice Jr. 2015: Kyle Anderson

Lillard, Wall and Blake have been the only good NBA players in the past ten years to get MVP in Vegas

Randy Foye and Jerryd Bayless went from lottery picks and summer league mvp's to what?
