    Yeah I'm a Lonzo guy.

    I like Tatum more than a lot of people too. But I'm in the Ball camp

    these cats aint watch fox, cuz he aint nothing but an athlete, his footwork is trash, jumper is beyond trash, court vision leaves alot to be desired. and his defense wont be relevant in this pick and roll league. You would think he was Pat beverly level of defense the way these cats talking

    Fox should go no higher than 5th ...maybe even 6th in the draft

    Tatum, Josh, Lonzo, Fultz >>>>>>>> and its not close

    Ball could very well be Ricky Rubio 2.0 all flash no sizzle

    Lonzo is great off ball too tho. So that already would add a dimension that Rubio doesn't bring. Plus a way better athlete


    I haven't really watched the bigs at the top of the draft but my big board of the guys I watched

    Fultz
    Ball
    Tatum
    Jackson
    DSJ
    Monk
    Issac
    Fox

    Rubio? Did I misread that Ball has nice touch from outside?

    My knock on Ball he's plays no D Westbrook and them other guards gone ? him. You pair him with Russell they gone be getting took. His shot betta be nice to offset the lack of foot speed

    Second chance points will be the reason the Cavs lose

    in a perfect world you draft Fox
    Speed demon
    Plus defender
    Can put pressure on opposing guards because of speed and athleticism
    Decent shot can get better.

    2nd 1st round pick either
    Draft a scorer you can bring off the bench
    Draft a young Euro and stash him
    Draft a young athletic rim protector

    Yeah now that I had time to think on it I like Fox better

    U guys are crazy. Did u guys really watch Fox? He can't shoot to save his life. For some reason, the game against UCLA is clouding everyone's judgement. I will take Ball, Jackson, Tatum, Monk over him.


    TBH I don't watch college ball until MM so, ehh... if you say so. I can only go by what little I did see. I actually haven't even seen Fultz once. If it wasn't for his first name, I couldnt even truthfully tell you if he was even black.

    Doubt he falls to us at 28. Bam Adebayo is who i hope we get at 28.

    Pelinka and Magic would be jumping for Joy if Celtics took Ball


    Lonzo is gonna be good, but Fultz is better

    Yup.

    It came out last week Pelinka was recruiting Fultz hard for his agency prior to taking the GM job

    So, i have been reading and watching alot of videos on Lonzo Ball (Draft Express, BBallBreakdown, Laker Film room) lately. Looks like Ball is a solid off ball/help defender. Pretty decent one on one defender. Where he struggles is on his Pick and Roll defense, looks like he really sucks in that department. I feel that can be coached and he should be fine. Doubt he will be a Tony Allen type defender ever, but he has the physical tools to be an average to above average defender.

    I'm very lukewarm on Ball, the same way I was with Ingram. Are any of these prospects good enough to make any positive impact their 1st year?

    I just don't understand going after Josh Jackson if we going to bring in Paul George... Ingram, George, and Jackson all play the 3... either take Ball or trade for a big time vet like Paul

    Paul George can play 2, 3, or 4 in this NBA tho. The real question is what Ingram will grow into.
