I was confused when I saw that the Bulls had Lonzo Ball. I was more confused that the Bulls were good with Lonzo Ball. It turns out that the NBA experts on the board were wrong about Lonzo Ball and he's actually good.

What makes him a good player Brick? Just Asking A Question.

I hadn't watched an NBA game in years. This season I've watched and enjoyed every game.

This is a bandwagon fan thread. I don't have to justify anything I say.

To start, Lonzo has been the best defensive point guard in the league this year. Stat line scouters won't get that..

He isn't even the best defensive point guard on his team. Though he is good defensively.

Ok have at it in this thread

Just saw the stats, Caruso is actually a net negative player on defense, but good try.

That’s obviously not true if you’re watching the games

Is Derrick Rose hurt? I didn't see him on the court last night playing for our Bulls.

Caruso blows the doors off Ball as a defensive player. And Ball is good. Caruso is next level good.

yes, we all agree that it is easier to play defense vs 2nd unit players as opposed to 1st unit superstars. Especially when you get matched up vs other team's top guard every game like Lonzo does.

Nah that dog ain't hunting Shakes. Caruso closes out games guarding #1 options because of his defense. And truth be told Lonzo isn't in the class of Caruso on the ball. He is really good at helping and reading passing lanes. Caruso is more of a shutdown guy.

I've resisted jumping on the bandwagon for this team because I fear that this is just going to be another iteration of a team that tries hard but doesn't have the talent to make it past the second round of the playoffs. I've watched probably around 20 minutes of Bulls basketball over the past two years, so I'm not qualified to formulate an opinion on this team. If the players on the current roster mature to their true capability, is this an Eastern Conference championship caliber team, or is this going to be another version of the Deng and Hinrich Bulls or post-injury Rose and Butler Bulls?

Ltg is having a rough time on PGs. He got his ass handed to him on kyrie Irving as well, who is officially on HOF b.itch status.

Did you watch Lonzo playing on the ball against Luka last night? And you're still gonna pretend what you just wrote is true?
