Thanks. I didn't know he was still with his Dad.

Started off with Randle, then Hart joined, then we heard of Ingram working at Duke.

Now Kuzma posted a workout pic captioned "coming back a whole different monster". Lakers posted a picture of Lonzo lifting weights and a fan posted a picture of him with ice bags around his knees.


They're all on the grind and i'm hard.

Kuzma is gonna be really good. I was comparing his rookie stats to Klays 2nd season. Very close. Not that hes gonna be the shooter or defender Klay is but Kuzma is a legit offensive option for this team. I'm talking 20ppg.

I would be happy if he’s putting up 15/9/9 next year


So basically a triple double would satisfy you? Lol

I’m hoping for 15/6/8 with respectable shooting percentages. Teams totally disrespected him last year because of his FT shooting. They didn’t even go hack-a-Zo and waste fouls - just clamp up on the other 4 and force Zo to take uncontested shots.

I agree, Kuz will be real good. I really hope we hold on to him.

Wow, that defensive impact for a rookie PG is impressive. The team is 6th with him on the court and 17th with him off. That’s a huge gap.

Well . . . before you get too excited about that stat, remember who was playing PG when Ball wasn't on the court.

Then forget the gap.
And pay attention to being number 6.
Can we be excited about that part?

BI, Clarkson, IT. Ennis and Caruso really weren't that bad on defense. IT probably moved us down 10 spots in the rankings just by himself.

If Ben Simmons doesn't cheat his way to PG being 6'10 and second year Lonzo would be the best PG, so overall I think he did good.

Learn to put the ball in the basket and lets go!

Damn, kind of sucks he only got 2nd team but it was expected. At the beginning of the year, I thought he was a lock for 1st team and good chance at ROY based on his summer league play. Still a great achievement and should be a reason to be motivated this summer going into training camp. He should make the All Sophomore 1st team next year

little surprised that Dennis Smith Jr. got more votes than Ball. In the end, missing 1st team could always be a blessing in disguise....just serves as a reminder that from this point, nothing will come easy.

Overall, the fact that OG and Bam did not even make the list....and I truly think both have All Star upside speaks volumes about their group.
