Im kinda not mad at Lonzo playing really conservative at this point:francis:

Summer league is not regular season or even preseason. Going all out if you a high draft or a 2nd year is :francis:
You think he's playing conservative? I really think he's still adjusting to the speed and physicality of the professional league. I totally believe he will adjust in due time, because he has a natural enact drive to get better...

I don't really worry about Ben holding up injury wise. I think his foot thing was an outlier thing. But obviously JoJo is a huge concern and just as an observer Fultz knee is a worry to me and now this. Shut him down until training camp.
You mean his ankle

This dates back to Andrew Bynum trade... every year since, our projected top player has been injured
Noel, Embiid 2X, Ben...

Okafor tore his meniscus too

Covington too. I dunno brehs what comment can you make about this shyt at this point. Maybe we built the new training facility on some ancient bones.Maybe when they fired Hinkie he had a Whoopi type scene from the color purple ol if you don't do right by me shyt. All I know is this shyt ain't normal and I want it to stop.

The above isn't true. A .46 correlation is very high for Summer League. an event people say, "means nothing". And that user is wrong about how the guy "has proven nothing". Likely the pf length of the summer league, quality of players, etc among other things, precludes higher prediction numbers but a .46 correlation over 5 games is a strong prediction. A good or bad Summer League is likely more predictive for some players than others'.

.46 basically means he has a 50% chance of predicting a player correctly


Or i can flip a coin and have about the same success

He has more than a 50% chance. He knows more about the player. The .46 more resembles that something substantial is known about a player not overall chance.

Lonzo has elite top line speed but I was worried about his 1st step quickness.

He was looking good today consistently beating guys off the dribble:ehh:

Basically got wherever he wanted but settled too much for kick outs. Needs to develop his mid-range offense (very doable).

His passing instincts are special. Once he gets that floater and pull up going it's a wrap:banderas:


Tatum is one of the smoothest, most complete rookie scorers I've ever seen. That footwork, jump shot and fade away had me:whew:

Elite as in the top 10%
Yeah u have marvels like Westbrook and Wall. But Lonzo would beat most of the other PGs when measuring end to end speed.
Longer strides at 6'6
