I am a believer.

Was a skeptic going into the draft.

SPL changed me.

I think he will be the #1 reason why 2 stars join us in 2018.

Glad to hear everyone is officially off the Fultz bandwagon and on the Lonzo Train. ITs deep!

I still have a little concern over how he handles the half court defenses, not his shot but more of how he attacks and creates. NBA teams will find ways and he will have to adjust.

Not too big of a concern though because one thing I have been sold on since summer league is just how high of a basketball iq he has at top speed. It’s amazing what he sees. So yeah, it’s looking like we might have THAT guy on our hands.

Edit: Randle says lonzo’s court vision is “second to none.”

Maybe, Lonzo Ball isn't just a generational talent, but a son of Zeus

Caruso's game must be rubbing off on Lonzo. Put the power of the stache into the sideburns!

Training camp only adds fuel to the Lonzo Ball hype train

At first I thought the comments about the Lakers not being ready is from pure objectivity, but now I think the reason why people are afraid to admit about the Lakers is because of fear. They don't want us winning titles, the NBA especially the haters want Lonzo to be another Kwame.

But now I know why people are trying hard not to admit about our chance to be good.

The haters are very scared that Lonzo will be another LeBron or Magic.

I have a feeling Lonzos greatness will put us in a great spot this year.

if Lonzo leads us to 50 victories this year, we might as well hang his jersey in the rafters while he's still playing, what's the point of waiting?

Worthy recently talked to Luke about 10-15 games the Lakers let get away last year. Winning every close (or not) practice game, whether teammates are Corey Brewer & Thomas Bryant, or starters, shows me this guy really is a difference maker, even at this level. Imo, last year's team would have won far more with him and when the season begins, people looking for 33-35 wins will soon be recalculating.

He's not Magic, Jordan, Kidd, or LeBron but I strongly suspect he's going to be the biggest ROOKIE SEASON pg difference maker since Johnson. Ervin had highly ranked veteran stars. Not sure what he'd do with this squad. As I think of it, that's an interesting thought....Rookie Magic vs Rookie Lonzo. No doubt there's going to be plenty of comparisons.

Let the flames

begin.

What if the team has another scrimmage and Ball ends up going 9-0 will the league be scared?
