Everything about this dude strikes me as Him being a team player who will help you win...

Dude is no doubt headed to Philly

I don't even feel like the release is the biggest problem with dude. Outside of transition opportunities he doesn't demonstrates an ability to get to the rack really in the half court game. It's very rare to see him break down college athletes off the dribble and he really has no inbetween game. He has really good defensive instincts,intangibles, and his spot up shot is gonna be money regardless of form but I dunno getting in the paint is like the biggest thing I look for in point guards. Last night he had an isolation play at the top of the key where he beat homie off the dribble(no pick) and took it to the rack. I need to see more of that before I knock Fultz from the top spot, because he legit does a lot of things better than Fultz.

He can get to the rack. I think part of it is just UCLA's system.

Ball's defensive instincts are so good. He can play tight defense and his rotations are shockingly crisp. This dude is always in the right place on defense and even if the ball is swung around 3-4 times, he's exactly where he needs to be. He will have an immediate impact wherever he gets drafted.

I honestly don't see how he gets this jumper off in the league.

Being 6'6" and a PG will help him to get the shot off, but it's fukking strange looking.

Kevin Martin had a awkward form but that didn't stop him from averaging 26ppg. An awkward form can confuse customary defenses.

For every Kevin Martin, and that's few, there are more MKG's out there who's terrible shooting form ends up hindering them offensively

It's not a quick release though breh and he needs space to get that jumper off. Hence why he goes to that step back 3 so much.

I disagree, it's weird looking but that shyt is definitely quick, as soon as it's eye level it's on the way out. It's a 1 motion shot that he brings up from the left and I've seen him hit threes with defenders pretty close.

The difference is that players like MGK were horrible shooters in high school, College, and NBA. Lonzo Ball was known as a shooter throughout high school. He's continuing that trend in College by shooting 43% from 3 against longer/athletic defenders. He's quicker, more athletic and better handle than Kevin Martin. He'll be fine in the pros

It's time to pair him up with Devin Booker.

A guy who's unselfish by nature.

Time to say goodbye to the "bail out" assist brothers

Eric Bledsoe & Brandon Knight.

Who rather pass the ball after they dribble around the court looking for their own shot

and there's only 2 seconds left on the shot clock.

It's a reason the Suns are ranked dead last in passing.

They gotta get Ball to get the ball moving

 

[The Fire]

For those who think all of lonzo's hype was engineered by his dad. false

Lol

I wish Phoenix could've gotten him though

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

His J looks like Kevin Martin's and he had no trouble getting his shot off, without Lonzo's ability to create space.
