Rookie of the Year!
it's lavar's fault. he got the attention of espn who do nothing but create unnecessary hype. and the narrative that he was going to get drafted by the lakers came true. he basically forced magic johnson's hand knowing his being a local product made him extra marketable. it was all a sham story. now espn can just blame his dad if he's a bust instead of owning up to their own hyping of his potential. he's good and he's a good team player. and he's not great.I have said it many times, Lonzo Ball is one of the most overrated players ever to be drafted into the NBA.
What's likeable about him?He seems like a likeable kid with a dad trying to live his own fantasy.

I can't believe so many people think Ball is gonna be a player. Pay attention to his body language that's constant. He's unenthusiastic, and appears to dread even having to play. I think he's all in it for the cash and will become a backup in 5 years.
Here's Patrick Beverly...imagine when it's John Wall.
As great of a player magic was, he'll go down as a horrible gm. What a horrible pick.'We knew he was an underrated rebounding guard.' - Magic Johnson
Dude has zero heart.I can't believe so many people think Ball is gonna be a player. Pay attention to his body language that's constant. He's unenthusiastic, and appears to dread even having to play. I think he's all in it for the cash and will become a backup in 5 years.
There doesn't seem to be anything unlikeable about him except his father, which is out of his control. Lonzo seems to be a down to earth, quiet, go about his business type of player and his teammates have raved about him. His dad is a cuck which makes people hate him, But as far as Lonzo himself, he hasn't brought any hatred upon himself, IMO. But if you want him to fail because his dad is a douche, so be it and I absolutely understand that.What's likeable about him?
I've heard he's a nice kid but when I saw that video of his girlfriend cutting up his steak....smh...apparently he doesn't know how to cut his steak so he has to pass the plate to her and let her cut it up for him.....just wow....and i just don't don't think anyone with chicken wings like that is ready to play with grown men in the NBA
Hell no... you AND LavarGuess I’m the only one who loves his game.
He will have some very good assist game...that I agree with. But for the season he'll shoot below 40%, maybe score in the low teens, assist in the 8 per game range. But he'll be an absolute disaster on defensive end. That won't look like a really good rookie PG IMO.He's going to have some great games, yall. This is silly.
Lakers will be lucky to win 20 games. Ball is very overrated, but everyone except ESPN already knew this.
Agree he is more quiet than his dad. But the actually things he says, lack emotion.There doesn't seem to be anything unlikeable about him except his father, which is out of his control.

Yeah, you shut the mother****er down," LaVar said. "And your check still ain’t going to go no higher than what it is. Yeah, you shut him down. OK…Who is Patrick Beverley? He played all last year and nobody said nothing about him. Now we are looking at your first game. Why? Because Lonzo’s name is attached to it. So you got to be [all hard]. Let’s see what you do the next five games, if you are going to be pumped up towards everybody like that and go back to your 0-for-5 shooting and your two or three rebounds. Nobody is going to care about you. But you put my son’s name in it and you put my name in it, now you got some action and you got some people talking."
LaVar also accused Beverley of trying to get his attention during the game.
"I saw the way he looked at me when he was on the side of the bench," he said. "He was going to see if I can get eye contact. I just looked at him like I looked right past him because he’s nobody. You talking to Big Baller. One game. OK, you still don’t have your own shoe, you are still not your own boss. I know why you are looking at me. And you want to tell me that I got your son! Well, I got two more you can try to get some of, too. They will be here, don’t worry about it. I don’t worry about one game."
Lonzo's skills reminds me of Michael Carter-Williams a lotHr doesn't possess elite athleticism, speed, quickness or agility. Elite court vision is about it. As @Bobcat94 mentioned, Ball doesn't have that killer instinct. Magic is gonna regret not taking Fox.
Guess I’m the only one who loves his game.
He wasn't a top 10 pick nor was he declared to be even as close to as good as Lonzo wasMalik Monk was 1-9 shooting with 3 turnovers and 1 assist with no steals or rebounds. BUST!
