    This is the funny part, lonzo is a gifted athlete; he’s tall, an amazing passer, a good rebounder, and has top notch hand-eye coordination. For whatever reason though, he still shoots like a little kid that isn’t strong enough to shoot the ball, without using his shoulders/tris more than his wrist/forearm (except he has his own stupid little twist to it). I’m assuming he’s so naturally good at throwing, that he would’ve been an amazing pitcher or quarterback. So that’s why he was able to make shots in high school and college, but it ain’t gonna work in the nba imo.

    Whoever said that had never seen him play. He can't shoot to save his life.

    Every mainstream sports media outlet said it. I’m pretty sure he shot like 40% from 3 in college.

    Your are better than this sir. Kidd couldn't shoot when he came in for example. He was picked for his court vision. I feel the same about Ball. Ben Simmons can't shoot either. These 2 I think will thrive in this league.

    Fultz has been shut down because of his shoulder. He didn’t have bad form in college. And I think he’s going to be the second best player in the draft. Tatum is amazing though, and that was obvious while he was at duke. He looked like a man against boys.

    Lakers had Ingrim and didn't need a 3. They wanted a PG.

    We had Clyde and didn’t need a shooting guard.

    Learn our history, then post. We had All-Star Jim Paxon, and back up Clyde Drexler.

    Lol. You’re gonna have to try harder than that FAMS

    I wasn’t alive, but Clyde was most definitely the future SG; we had a coach that practically refused to play rookies. And then, you know, moved paxson to the bench and eventually got rid of him.

    Actually, Clyde was considered a SF at the time iirc, and Paxson only went to the bench because he plummeted like a rock.

    Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum, who was OBVIOUSLY the best player in this draft, is averaging 15/6

    I told everyone we should have drafted him instead of Lillard but you all didn't listen to me.
