It's time to buy into the BBB brand before it's to late. He stated Zo goin be ROY and you better get those shoes ordered now.
Zo erupts for 11 tonight & Lavar claims
- Thread starter Orville Boggs
- Start date
I imagine Laker fans will want to ship Lonzo to the East Coast in two years just so they don't have to listen to dear ole dad.
I'm not team BBB, but you conveniently left out the 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
He had a good game.
He had a good game.
He had a triple double and I don't think folks should expect for him to put up big numbers scoring wise
Sure, but that's not his game. I don't think the Lakers drafted him to lead the team in scoring.
lol why would you leave out the triple double op?
Well that's exactly my point . It seems like the OP expected more scoring
But your post is misleading. He only scores 11 points, then Daddy Ball makes a ridiculous statement after a 2nd lackluster game.
He drops a triple double--well that's a promising sign.
It's the first time, nor will it be the last time, that he gets a triple-double. Regardless if his dad runs his mouth or not the young man has game.
Nothing wrong with a rookie year that will probably look something like 12-13 points, 4-6 rebounds and 8-9 assists per game. He might even shoot 35-36% from 3 and get a block every couple games or so. Kid can play.

With his shot I doubt it. But, you keep holding out hope! Kardashian = Big Ballers
I have give no effs about whether he puts up small, medium, or large numbers. Couldn't care less. I'm not some dim-witted loser worrying about what some kid does because his pops runs his mouth. That's your department.
A triple double in July isn't the same as one in April. It's good, I'm not a hater, but you need to keep it in perspective.
Kid is shooting 7 for 28 in two games. While he has some talent and will be a good NBA player in the future that doesn't scream NBA superstar to me. Maybe I'm missing something. Lol
If he can't hit, and with his defense, Laker nation isn't going to be content. Don't kid yourselves. His dad has set the bar, Kobe Bryant. That's the level he needs to reach. So far he's good enough to hand wash his jockstraps.
He better end up, at minimum, a poor mans Jason Kidd.

Doubtful he lives up to what a #2 pick is suppose to be. He does have great passing ability and where he could become a star but still not sold on him yet. Summer league games against players who have yet to play in the NBA or had minimal action in the first year are pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Are we going to be treated to a thread about him after every game? I sure hope so.
He's built similarly to Magic and has a similar game. I'm certain Magic will help him develop. The only thing he need to fix is his defense. He's very slow but that can be fixed as well. He won't be what his dad thinks, but he will have a very solid career.
Again, I'm not saying he's the second coming because of a triple double in July.
I am saying that the thread title implies he had a second poor game. "Zo erupts for 11." That doesn't tell the tale of the game.
I wish the media would quit sticking a microphone in LaVar Ball's face.
That was a very misleading triple double, he got those rebounds because it's summer league and it's sloppy and people miss shots, he got those assists (half of them) just by passing the ball up the floor because it's summer league and it's sloppy and the defense is garbage!
He's a decent player who will never be an all star in the NBA

Honest question- if we can't base performance or future performance on summer league ; then we really can't say Tatum is gonna be better ? I mean it's just summer league ...
That being said I loathe "Zo" fox should have gone before him and I wish to god the media would stop giving his idiot father an audience to verbally $hit all over everyone. He's a complete moron
Except a half foot shorter. Magic was 6'9" and could play center. Ball can't even play SF.
...and thicker. Balls legs and arms look like they could snap if the wind blows hard. Magic also wasn't a slow footed defensive liability. It is tough to drastically improve foot speed; Best case is he learns better technique and grit to become an average defender.
As it stands, Ball is a bigger defensive liability than Ryan Gosling was in Remember the Titans.
So don't overvalue Ball's triple double because it's summer league, but based on that same summer league Tatum is clearly gonna be better? Color me confused.
I chuckle when people watch summer league games and think players are monsters. Once people educate themselves, they realize that the summer league is not the real league - it's a collection of recent college players (lottery, drafted and undrafted) and others (overseas players) trying to make a roster for the fall season.
Maybe Ball will be decent against the "big boys" in the NBA come fall, but I'd hold off on claiming him to be ROY material with a triple double in the "summer league"...
