FOH with this "Per source" bullshyt.
Name names or don't. Idgaf what the assisstant of the assistant lead trainer or some shyt got to say.
Fox and Fultz are typical scorers. If Lakers want that then take them. If they want someone thats going to push the ball everytime and get everyone involved, and make the entire team better then take Ball.
I don't see Boston NOT taking Fultz after that bullshyt last week. They need a big guard that can defend or score primarily. Lonzo will be a good defender but I rather him have the ball if he's going to work with the best players on the team. Boston plays slow af, perfect for Fultz/Fox. Ball does not play slow

Fox isn't worth picking over Ball, period. But Jackson could work at the 2 and he's probably the most talented player in the draft. It's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out.

You must not watch college basketball
Fox is also more athletic, got to the rim better than Lonzo and just might end up as good of an outside shooter
Yes Lonzo is a much better passer and pg than anyone in the draft but lakers already have Russell.
will take their talents to St. Elsewhere

Ball may never be a lockdown defender, but he has the wingspan and athleticism to be a capable to plus defensive player.
Randle on the other hand
That's why y'all should target Bam with the Houston pick
Ball is a decent defender... I don't think he will be the greatest at scoring or defending but he will be above average. His greatest strength is his passing and vision... But he is WAYYYY better than D'angelo in athleticisim which is why he will probably be much better defensively
D'Angelo is the one who can't guard nobody with his slow, unathletic ass

Time to go!!
I would love to see Lonzo and Lavar in NY with Phil....

Lonzo can win play the 2 as well, he's just a flat out better player than Fox. Fox's jumper is very questionable, and it's unlikely he becomes a capable shooter. If Fox doesn't become a capable shooter, he's Rondo 2.0 and that's not worth the second pick.

If the lakers pass it won't be because of lavar, he has no impact on his sons draft stock if a team thinks lonzo's the real deal they won't pass because his father is a loud mouth this ain't chino hills pops don't run shyt in the nba

That's a nice comparison but fox is taller faster and more athletic than rondo ever was
And rondos a pretty good player even today.
One issue with Lonzo is he doesn't have that killer scorer instinct. He more Lebron mentally
Fox is more like Kobe.
