This man said Lonzo is ALREADY better than Steph and that the Warriors would be better with him instead 
There's gonna be some teams that aren't gonna wanna deal with his dad. You can already tell, if things aren't going his way with whatever team picks him then his dad is gonna end up making some crazy statements to the media.

I said the same thing last week. Lonzo probably a real good kid, but it sucks that folks are gonna want him to fail JUST because of how big of a bamma his dad is. I guarantee that a lot of the questions he'll get in the pre-draft process will be about how to handle his dad etc.

Ball father is corny and an attention *****.
He'll definitely mess up one/all of his sons careers at some point.
You not the star my guy, fall back and just coach your team.

The psychology of these types of parents is truly fascinating
I am very curious as to the root of this extraness. I wonder what the father went through growing up to make him this way or if there was an incident or series of incidents that molded this persona
Goes in line with the types of parents who are overly pushy and obsessive with their children at a young age to become pro athletes. I really wonder what these parents experienced to have them project through their kids
You don't just flip a switch and do these types of things

Like dude said Lavar wasn't good enough to get the attention his kids are now so he wanna live through them. Sad ****. Setting his kids up for hatred and dissapointment.

I'm already not as high on Lonzo as it is now but I'm anxious for Steph to put 40 on his head in 3 quarters.
On second thought, its wild disrespectful to compare lonzo to college Steph.

I'm trying to contain my animosity toward Lonzo because I know it's not him running his mouth, but when he gets stomped on his first year I'm gonna be enjoying all his dad eating all that humble pie and it'll probably have to be force fed to him because he won't admit that his kid was anything but Michael Jordan in his rookie year.
That USC highlight reel was my first time seeing Lonzo because I don't stay up on college ball, but he didn't do anything out of this world in that game.

Fultz is BPA. They aren't going to even take IT into account with the pick. Defensively, Fultz has the length, athleticism and instincts to be a solid-to-good defender if he chooses to be.

You don't make draft decisions based on a 5'8" guy with atrocious playoff shooting splits

He legitimately might be the MVP of the league this year and is in the prime of his career leading a team that might overtake the Cavs for the #1 seed in the East......I kinda think you need to factor him in a little bit

Rebuilding teams draft BPA. Teams that are 1-2 pieces away? Not so much.
If the Celtics land the #2 pick it would make life much easier on them to just draft Josh Jackson and move on with the core they currently have. Fully expect Josh to be better than Jaylen, making Jaylen expendable with Crowder there too.
IT
Bradley
Josh
Crowder
Horford
Great lineup to run in the playoffs.

And his playoff shooting splits may very well still be atrocious.

If your #1 scorer by a WIIIIIIIDE margin is a 5'8" guy, you are going to be in trouble in May.
You 100% draft Fultz if you have the chance. He has the frame to guard 2s anyway

Zeke's playoff numbers suck more so with him being the only shot creator rather than him being short imo

Fultz solves that issue too.

Did Lonzo's father teach him that ugly jump shot?

Lavar reminds me of Richard Williams, father of Venus and Serena.
