lauri, issac and white? :dead:

Derrick White was arguably the best player for the spurs in that nuggets series and flat out won a playoff game by himself...

Have you seen anything from Lonzo that has shown he can be a teams best player in a playoff series and win a game by himself? I sure haven't...

White would have made all defensive team last year had he not missed so much time with a foot injury...he was top 5 in damn near every defensive category for guards...

If this draft was redone I can't imagine anybody taking lonzo over derrick except for lavar...

If a GM drafted a guy that's not "much worse" than Rivers as the #2 pick, people should call for his head.

Come on Austin Rivers was the #1 player in high school

He went to Duke

Hype was crazy for him at Duke and he was more well known especially after he hit the game winner vs Unc

Lavars antics really sold Lonzo and mad him a higher pick than he should’ve

And I’m saying worse case Lonzo ends up being Austin Rivers..... that’s not a bust

I still have yet to see 4 coli posters show proof of a BBB purchase....They certainly wont ever post a shoe.

They cant even post a BBB shirt purchase.....and that was their man


I remember when LeBatard Show bought a pair live on air and then it finally came months later and wasn't the version they had even ordered :russ:

Too early to tell. there's been point guards that can't shoot. Rubio, Rondo, Kidd. The thing is Zo has to learn how to completely control a game like Rondo and Kidd.

Best case scenario- Jason kidd.
Worst case- Rubio. So much hype for this guy but just isn't that superstar everyone expected.

Lonzo was #4 overall in his class and the #1 PG

Derrick white a dog

Rivers has really rebuilt his career in Hou, he might be ready to start on another squad
