Game was cherrypicked because it was the one where you could see him against nba caliber competition at Kentucky and how his game translates against it. Bluechip players are usually gonna have great #'s before conference play since the level of comp is usually trash overall.

Draftexpress does this every year for marquee matchups and do a good job pointing out strengths and weaknesses. And the evals aren't solely based on 1 game. This is just the best example to see him against plasters potentially at a similar level.
The evals were all based off this one game if you watched the vid, didn't talk about any of his previous performances vs. solid competition. That's why it has no credibility to me. It'd have more merit if they at least waited until after conference play, but they wanna jump the gun and put something out after one game in December.

UCLA hasn't played only cupcakes. Lonzo performed well vs. Texas A&M (16/5/10), Michigan (19/7/4), Ohio St. (8/9/9), and yesterday vs. Oregon, where his flurry of 3's is what gave UCLA a comfortable lead in the first place (finished with 14/3/6).

I've watched the video, along with 1000's of others on dx. This was done by Mike Schmitz who probably has about 3 or 4 vids from this year on Ball, along with countless other prospects. This isn't some jump the gun evaluation, it's what they do. They have write ups abs interviews on him since 2014, so it isn't about being first.

Those other teams you mentioned that he played against aren't loaded with nba talent, they're just solid college teams. Trust me there will be more videos and if improvement is shown from previous evals it will be noted. It just sounds like you aren't very familiar with DX and came to Ball's defense. They evaluate for nba potential, and unless ucla ends
up playing Kansas or Duke during the tourney this is gonna be the most nba level talent he faces all year. I'm sure there will be a video when they play UW and Fultz as well since that's another big matchup.

:what: did he have a major growth spurt or something, because last time I checked he was 5'10.
Both his bros are 6'6 though
Yeah he did. He'll probably grow again too he looks like he just hit puberty
