I been telling nikkaz he Austin Rivers part 2. Overhyped undersized guard from a great program, gets to NBA n gets exposed.

He's a PG and has sublime passing ability and natural feel for the game. Austin Rivers and Lonzo Ball are not even remotely comparable other than for the fact they're both light skin.

:mjlol: you act like this news somehow validates this horrible take of yours. I wonder what those "nikkas you've been telling" were thinking listening to you harp on a 6'6" point guard being undersized. :snoop:

Goatganda the pearl of Africa
He's 6'6 190lbs point guard
Even at shooting guard he wouldn't be undersized

What are these you negros have that make you post so much :dahell:

Austin Rivers a undersized two guard averaged 15 points on 43 percent shooting and 33 percent form three with 3 boards and two assists.


Don't compare him to lonzo

If you really think about it though, what makes Ball that much better than Russell? definitely not scoring, lateral quickness is about the same, not even close to russell operation in half court, his handles are slightly better but I thought Russell's assists in Ohio State were more impressive. Russell is also easily the better scorer. And looking at Lonzo's biggest strength, which is transition, Lakers were 7th in transition points last season. That is pretty good, so why would we draft someone for something we're good at? And the only reason why were weren't top 5 is because of perimeter defense. Which leads me to Josh Jackson. If lakers draft him, that will be a pretty good balance with him, Russell and Ingram. The longest back court and potentially one of the best defensive backcourt. This will lead to even more and better fastbreak points. Then we can just draft(leaf) or sign a 4(Ibaka) who can spread the floor.

This is with me anticipating that Ingram's 3 point game improves though :whoa:
