    ...?
    If he went off you would've been the first to try and tell everyone on here how wrong they were about Lonzo. How he's a star, blah blah blah.
    Take your medicine, his pre-season debut sucked. He shot 2-9 and 1-5 from deep with 3 turnovers, in a loss. That's Elfrid Payton numbers right there.
    Maybe he'll look better when the Lakers have put in an offense.(as I've been told they had yet to really put one in) Maybe he won't.

    When Teagues was in there he was beating Ball anytime he wanted to in the game. He shot the ball bad last night 2-9 from the field and 1-5 from the 3 point line. They was down by 18 when Kuzma came in and he was the one that brought them back. Now Ball does good job forcing the pace in the Lakers offense and I do like that about him. Yes it was his 1st game in the NBA and he will be decent PG when he gets stronger just like most rookies coming out 1 year in college.

    Neither am I. I think Melo is what he is at this point in his career. It's why I was on the "don't bring Melo to the Blazers" bandwagon.

    So he was responsible for anywhere between 21 points at the minimum, and 29 at the max.

    I'd rather my PG score more than 5 points a game, and shoot better than 22% from the floor. It's his first real game, of course, and he's young...but if that's the production Damian gave us each night, it would be a colossal (that means big) disappointment.

    Ball can handle transition, he will succeed or fail on his ability to run the offense when the games slow down

    He played 36 min. to get that in a preseason game= not impressive. In comparison: Teague= 9 assists in 23 min... aka good. Until Ball-saq produces some good #'s consistently in real games... there will b no praise from me.:police:

    Then they should had stuck with Kendall Marshall! He might have been a little light on the rebounds, but his 8p / 8.8a sound like your ideal PG!

    (Honestly, I would love to see Dame up his APG by 2+...)

    I agree, but I do think he'll end up being a good player. He's far more hype than reality though.

    If you consider Rubio a good player than yeah, I guess so.

    Ball will be a more than decent point guard in the NBA, but he won't rank with best by any means. He has been set up yo fail by his dad. He will never live up to those standards. #overrated #overhyped

    Has there been a post on the new lottery rules? Bottom 3 teams all have a 14% chance to get the #1, so there won't be competition to be the worst. After position 3, there's only a 1.5% -.5% difference in lottery odds.

    The first 4 picks will be determined by lotto balls, then by record after that. I really think all the non-playoff positions should be drawn.

    Change goes into effect in 2019.
