people waiting on Lonzo to bust out of the NBA are going to be waiting a long time, he's a stud.



At what juncture will it be ok to declare him a bust.

I like hot takes as much as the next guy but we should probably wait until he actually plays a NBA game first



Isn't it also too early too declare him a stud? Isn't it also too early to take shots at the people who may not think he is a stud? The father rightly or wrongly has put a bullseye on this kids back with all of the damn self promotion. The kid unfortunately will have to cash the damn check. He struggled in two games against Kentucky's B rate NBA talented guard. They are going to murder the kid. You have to respect the league.

But you declare Ben Simmons a stud???


Can you find the quote where I used that term to describe him?

Ben Simmons is a better pro prospect than Ball and I have no doubt that he will be better. Do you see how easy that is. Try instead of constantly be the board's greatest cynic.

If I'm wrong I can live with it. Do you have an actual opinion on Lonzo Ball?

14 pts, 7assists and 6 boards on the road in a win vs the #1 team in the country is struggling? Ok that's a new one.

And I'm sure you watched that game, too.


D'Aaron Fox, who might go as high as #4 in the draft, is a B prospect? Ok.


Fox got the best of the matchup both times and he really isn't that good either. Can't shoot and doesn't have an NBA position. There are some guys in this draft that will be no doubt better than Ball but he seems to be the only guy that people ever talk about. I think he will flop because his game doesn't translate to the NBA.

Ben Simmons is the real deal...you watch any LSU games ??? He's got no outside game...the will ...

Ben Simmons is a better pro prospect than Ball and I have no doubt that he will be better. Do you see how easy that is. Try instead of constantly be the board's greatest cynic.
The NBA today's is a 3 point jump shooting ;league...what is Ball?

If I'm wrong I can live with it. Do you have an actual opinion on Lonzo Ball?
