I just think Kuz is our most consistant player. The others show flashes of what they could be. Kuz just brings it every night.


I love Kuz but truthfully, if his shots aren’t falling, what is he? BI & Zo can affect the game many different ways.

If Kuzma makes his three ball at a high percentage... he's the best.

If Ingram makes his free throws... he's the best.

If Lonzo makes any kind of shot with regularity... he's the best.

But I'd keep them all instead of trading them for AD who keeps putting up huge numbers in losing causes.

Sign AD as a free agent after 2020.

Wow. 109 votes.

But only 1-2 mattered. David Griffin. He loved BI. Doesn't matter what 109 voters on LG thought.

I'm trying to remember how I felt about all three a year or so ago when this post started. At that point we had Lebron and BI was our leader when Lebron went down basically. I am a basic fan of all three and I thought Lonzo's D was incredible at times. I thought Kuzma was the most confident but most one dimensional. I thought BI was the most basketball-driven, quite confident close to Kuzma's and the most versatile. I think I thought BI's shot was worrisome and his physical stature. I probably thought Zo had the most X-factorness but was the most risky. Maybe I would have chosen BI.
Hindsight, no one looks like they're going to be better than him. I did not see his 3-point game or his ability to finish getting so much better, along with his overall shot. The lesson to me is that all those 'failures' driving turning it over, running right into some big man and getting stuffed or weak shot helped him figure out and school friggin Gobert, the defensive player of the year and far larger than him. Really pleased to be surprised. The shot is just ....40.6% from 3 on 6 3s a game on 4+more 3's than he ever averaged? Effective FG from 44% to close to 50% to 51.8% to 54.8%. Just a pleasure to see and Tiny Dog really doing it.

Great thread. We managed to crap all over BI and, uh, Devin Booker to prop Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball. Two legitimate stars versus two guys who may not end up capable of being NBA starters on contenders.

By those standards you could say it doesn't matter what we think about anything.. Since no one here is involved in decision making with an NBA team.

Also the question was who should we keep
Not who should Griffin take

Yep..

No shame in being wrong.. Predicting what underdeveloped prospects will become is difficult.. Especially when they're played out of position and under the guidance of an incompetent coaching staff.
