All right, let's throw the brakes on the Lonzo Ball hate here. I know it's getting pretty popular to bash the guy but staying in the realm of reality is probably a good call.
I'm sure most of it is a response to Lavar Ball.
Now, I do think Ball would look bad in a one-on-one with Fox the same way Fox would look bad in a 3 point contest with Markkanen. Lonzo Ball's strength is in making everyone around him better.
I have legit concerns about how his game (and shot) will or won't translate but personally I've always put a fair amount of stock in a college player helping his team win. It's why I have concerns about Fultz that are only partly assuaged by my feeling that Romar is a poor coach.
Anyway, it's impossibly to deny the effect Lonzo Ball had on UCLA. I'm nervous about how his game would translate but if somehow he fell to give the Kings would HAVE to take him.
And there's a small part of me that would love to see Lavar Ball's reaction if the Lakers passed on him. And then then the Sixers passed on him. And then the Suns passed on him. And then he landed in Sacramento.
But I think if he slips past two the Sixers nab him.
