    Is lonzo ball the real deal?
    My information tells me that Pelinka and magic are divided on him.

      Hope he does well, and then dumps his dad like a bad habit.

          Did you happen to hear his dad on Cowherd today? What a loser. I wish Magic would tell him to shut his mouth otherwise he's going to send his son to the Nets or something.

            Telling that guy to shut his mouth would be like telling a crackhead to stop using. He is going to act like a jackass until its a for sure thing his son ends up in a flop and go quietly into the night. If his son was half as good as his dad talks UCLA wouldn't have been sent home 5 minutes after the tournament started. When it actually mattered his son was mediocre at best.

              I hope he crashes and burns...a shame that has nothing to do with the kid. But because both his father and youngest brother are jackasses

                    He is the third best PG in the draft.

                          I hope not. The faster he fizzles out, the faster his dad shuts the hell up.

                            No. Crazy talented court vision and passing skills but way too flawed.

                              I kinda thought so then I saw the U.K. Point guard dominate him in the tourney.

                                Didn't see your post till I posted. That UK game pretty much told me he never live up to the hype.

                                    He's a 'pass first' point guard with speed and court vision.

                                    NBA will be an even better fit for him since he'll be playing with better players.

                                        I hope he takes off and becomes a huge star, I don't see it, but hope it happens. It would be more interesting to see how it would work out off the court with his big baller brand. If lebron did that he would have a brand worth far more than his current net worth right now.

                                            I remember when MCW got drafted. People said he had great court vision but was too slow, and lacked a jump shot. His first game he almost had a quadruple double vs the HEAT if I remember rightly ...highlight of his career.

                                                  He has a tremendous feel for the game. Best passer I have seen in a long time. Aside from his dad being a distraction, the other flaw in his game is his slow first step. Teams with good shooters would benefit right away from him running the point. The Lakers are not a good shooting team.

                                                    He's looking for someone to buy his brand of shoe for 3 billion?

                                                    What world are these 2 stooges from?

                                                    His dad is an absolute HORRIBLE BUSINESS MAN.


                                                    I don't see any talent and/or value in this kid. Bobby Hurley 2.0

                                                      Such a ugly ass shot! His dad should maybe spend little more time teaching him this instead of branding him. How you even f'in go thru life with a shot that looks like that?

He has literally no shot at endorsements, thanks to pops. NBA executives have openly wondered if he's worth the trouble of his dad. His ugly shoes haven't even sold 500 pairs. A ton of athletes have attempted their own brand, it never works - never. Meanwhile even guys like D Rose and D Wade get $10M+ in endorsements. LaVar is killing his sons earning potential, anybody who says he isn't is crazy.
