I can't believe Ball was ranked the 63rd best NBA player in the world by ESPN (above guys like Melo, Smart, Batum, Ibaka, Schroder, and many more) and is last I checked the top of the rookie ladder... averaging 10/7.7/7.5 on .311/.281/.556 shooting.

Hard to believe he's shooting such horrible %'s...especially from the free throw line.

and picked what is starting to look like a top 5 worst draft flop. Can’t wait to see what else they do :biglaugh:

Did you just say that Lonzo Ball will go down as a "Top 5 worst" draft picks ever!!??? After 12 days you can say this?
Shit son, without even really trying, I can come up with 5 worse while typing this......in no particular order.......Hasheem Thabeet, Anthony Bennett, Tyrus Thomas, Darko,Adam Morrison......and that's without actually thinking about it. Exaggerate much?

Nah, they passed up on the next T-Mac for Ricky Rubio with no defense.

Not to mention how many future all stars there look to be in this draft class.

He wasn't drafted for his shooting though right?

Wasn’t he Jason Kidd with a jump shot?

Every Ball cocksucker, was saying that his shooting form didn’t matter, and that it “goes in” - ha, bullshit.
 
This is the funny part, lonzo is a gifted athlete; he’s tall, an amazing passer, a good rebounder, and has top notch hand-eye coordination. For whatever reason though, he still shoots like a little kid that isn’t strong enough to shoot the ball, without using his shoulders/tris more than his wrist/forearm (except he has his own stupid little twist to it). I’m assuming he’s so naturally good at throwing, that he would’ve been an amazing pitcher or quarterback. So that’s why he was able to make shots in high school and college, but it ain’t gonna work in the nba imo.

Whoever said that had never seen him play. He can't shoot to save his life.

Oh you mean like the #1 pick? And the Smith kid for Dallas who was a can't miss pick everybody says will win ROY?

Every mainstream sports media outlet said it. I’m pretty sure he shot like 40% from 3 in college.

Well, oddly enough, being able to shoot is kind of important in this league.

Your are better than this sir. Kidd couldn't shoot when he came in for example. He was picked for his court vision. I feel the same about Ball. Ben Simmons can't shoot either. These 2 I think will thrive in this league.

Fultz has been shut down because of his shoulder. He didn’t have bad form in college. And I think he’s going to be the second best player in the draft. Tatum is amazing though, and that was obvious while he was at duke. He looked like a man against boys.

Lakers had Ingrim and didn't need a 3. They wanted a PG.

Learn our history, then post. We had All-Star Jim Paxon, and back up Clyde Drexler.

Lol. You’re gonna have to try harder than that FAMS

I wasn’t alive, but Clyde was most definitely the future SG; we had a coach that practically refused to play rookies. And then, you know, moved paxson to the bench and eventually got rid of him.

Actually, Clyde was considered a SF at the time iirc, and Paxson only went to the bench because he plummeted like a rock.

Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum, who was OBVIOUSLY the best player in this draft, is averaging 15/6

Damnit, why didn't we draft him!? (not directed at you MM).
