Taking advantage of the facility every day since he was drafted. That is great!

That is really cool. Lonzo especially as he isn't even formally signed right?

This guy doesn't give a (bleep), he plays basketball wherever he is. Might as well just come in and get going with the fellas now, I dig it.

It's because he is a lakers fan. If the Celtics drafted him, he would hold out

The kid just wants to ball.
Even during the interviews on draft night and the press conference the next day, he told McGee and bres he just wants to ball.

There are guys who love basketball and there are Andrew Bynums.

Lonzo is a gamer and gym rat. I hope that now he's a pro, he won't get too crazy into the nightlife and Hollywood. DLO/Swaggy gone; either JC cuts it out or he is shipped out (I think he will be due to 2 Max reasons).

I feel like BI and Ball are more low key guys and similar in being gym rats. The difference in them being that Ingram doesn't have a promoter with him.

Ingram needs to get himself a hype man.

Lavar is around to keep him in check. The goal is to be the best basketball player he can be. Sure things can change but he is use to LA and hasn't been distracted yet.

The passing is contagious! I love it! It's a new era guys, where watching Lakers basketball will be fun again.

Players WANT to be here.
They're EXCITED to work hard and do what's necessary for the TEAM.
Lonzo, BLO, Zubac, PG13 grew up Lakers fans.
Magic is back with his billion dollar smile.
We replaced monotone Kupchak with dreamy Rob Lowe.

I'm hoping in 20 years we'll be talking about Ball & Ingram being one of the best backcourt duo's ever!

Just wanna point out that Zo's pass first style isn't a great fit for how summer league games go so we should temper expectations and not overreact.

But we'll still be overreacting regardless so (bleep) it

Very true. For every John Wall in summer league (23.5 PPG, 7.8 AST, 5.3 TO), there's a Chris Paul (11.8 PPG, 5.5 AST, 2.3 TO). That said, I expect Lonzo to perform well since he'll have Hart, Ingram, Kuzma, and Zu running with him. God help him if he has to share a backcourt with Varsity Blue.

You might see some flashes in a lineup of zu and Ingram's, but the other guys are trying to get noticed.

Lots of ball hogging and trying to go 1 vs 5

Ah, that's what he meant.
Hopefully the coaches are in the ear of the players. Make the Simple play. Move the ball. Or sit next to me.

Yeah, I think he'll do just fine because I don't think he's a "pass first" point guard. He just makes good decisions, providing high percentage shots for others and himself.
