The NBA Draft Thread

[Vincent Van Goat]

I think the dynamic that offsets Lonzo's known deficiencies is that he's definitely comfortable with being a passer. We're not looking for him to be a main source of scoring. I don't think a coach should peg him into that type of role initially and I don't think he himself necessarily wants that

From that perspective the scoring/creating a shot for himself issues are less magnified in my eyes. Just have to make sure you surround him with the right lineup

I guess the thing I'd say that's a worthy discussion is if his playmaking for others translates to the next level, not necessarily his scoring. Which by the way, his natural scoring instinct isn't going anywhere IMO, especially in transition

On the topic of Lonzo, here's a thorough write up on the Ball family:

Kid looks like a video game.

 

[nick.]

Saw him hit a few perimeter shots in the video but can he do it consistently?

Athleticism is obviously off the charts :x :x

I worry about prospects like this in terms of the wear and tear on those knees at such a young age 

He's been an IG legend for a minute now 

 

[glennvagmire]

Nothing special.

His pops was a D1 football player and his Moms was a D1 high jumper, he just won the genetics lottery.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He looked like he was like 250 at the start of that video. Just disgusting

He got time. His handle is nice, athleticism is stupid, already got a NBA body.

De’Aaron Fox Would Have a Shot at Being Drafted No. 1 … If He Had a Shot http://bit.ly/2mNbyts

Great piece from Tjarks

 

[awwsome]

The fact that Fox has put up near identical numbers as Wall without a jumper bodes well for him.

 

[nick.]

Fox putting on a show in this 2nd half :x
