L.A. Lakers

[Disturbing Calm]

I didnt really put too much bearing on that game to be honest. The talent level of Balls team is just so much better compared to Fultz's team.

Fultz's team is so bad that they're even a long shot to make it to the NIT. Thats how bad his team is. His coach is even worse. His coach plays two traditional bigs most of the time. Clogging the lanes and not providing enough space for Fultz to operate, but despite that and despite Fultz being the center of the defensive teams attraction, he still manages to put up numbers.

Anyway, If I was a betting man I'd bet on Fultz's game translating better into the pro game. Makita ra nya ni nato next season once they play in the NBA.

i agree, his team sucks ass. i don't even know why he picked washington over competing schools. ala ben simmons para sure ball 1st pick kaha? hmmmm

anyway, this kid is a good murag damian lillard 2.0 or better. there is no doubt this kid will flourish in the pro but he should work on his decision making. lol *cough* washington *cough*

In Ben Simmon's case, he picked LSU cuz his uncle was working as an assistant coach there or something like that.

From what iv'e read,Fultz chose UW coz he was convinced by his basketball trainer who was a close friend of UW's assistant coach to go there.

Anyway, mao ni naka atay sa NBA one and done rule. Ben and Markelle clearly dont want to play college ball but are forced to do so because of this stupid rule.

I mean, in tennis you can go pro and earn money @ 14 years old.
Ricky Rubio made his professional debut @ 14 years old as well.

In the NBA they are required to be one year removed from highschool or something along that line which is ridiculous.

It also has its advantage to the kids though, to prepare themselves. easy job pud sa scouts hehehe!

on the contrary, I dont think his stroke is a problem.

In my opinion. sa ako sad nabantayan through research and watching him play.

1.Balls major weakness is his inability to create or attack the rim off pick and roll plays. especially when the guard goes over the screen. he mostly just passes it to a teammate, doesnt shoot midrange jumpers or attack a mismatched center. So his halfcourt play in the NBA is still suspect.

2. He struggles finishing when challenged and shies away from contact.

3.He is not a better defender than Steph. how can you tell? Lonzo hasnt played an NBA game yet. it remains to be seen.
Lonzo is a decent team defender. He is pretty terrible one on one though.

Why Lonzo Ball isn't the surefire NBA superstar people seem to think he is - CBSSports.com
recently mao ni akong nabasahan na article backed up with stats and facts.

Anyway, it doesnt mean Lonzo is not good. And he can definitely improve his weaknesses and I could be horribly wrong about him. THis is simply my opinion on him

para lang nako, mas maayo siya mo-depensa ni curry, kay he is more athletic than curry. he can chase down opponents easily, and block shots because of his length and athleticism.

he has high basketball IQ, and is an excellent passer, nindot kaayo iyang court vision, probably better than fultz.

para nako dako gyud nga problem niya iyang shooting form, kay ubos kaayo, naa diri sa iyang left shoulder. dali ra ma-block.

[amamangloy]

Excited naman ko motanaw ug Lakers ron tungod ni Zubac! Great Potential!

In terms of defense, its really hard to tell at this point. College defense is played very differently from NBA defense. They dont have defensive 3 seconds, shorter 3 point line meaning less spacing and teams pack the paint a lot.

Lonzo is a decent team defender so far but he is a terrible one on one defender. On the instances that he was left on an island forced to guard his man one on one, he has been terrible. His man literally just blows by him.

In the NBA he will need to move his feet and keep up with guys like Westbrook,Harden,Lillard,Kyrie,Steph,JWall,IT etc. so we will see next year if he can keep up.

When it comes to Curry, yeah terrible one on one defender. He's lucky they got Klay to check the opposing teams best perimeter player.

Definitely a steal.

I dont think DAR is a star.

Brandon Ingram though, I think he is gonna be a superstar.

is it me? or sakto akong observation, nga dili nindot ang performance ni d'angelo kung naa si randle. i'm thinking basin tungod both of them needs to handle the ball to be effective.

Its hard to figure out this Laker team right now since we are clearly in tank mode.

As for DAR, maybe he needs to be more aggressive. He's only taken a combined 6 shots the past two games. I dont really know. He has been wildly inconsistent. I guess you can say the same for Julius as well. inconsistent pud.

Honestly, the only player thats not expendable is Brandon Ingram and Zubac IMO. The rest? nah.... their games don't fit together.

ang inconsistency ni d'angelo is more of the effort and the drive to win. we know he can shoot the ball... the problem is he doesn't take any shots, since randle came back.
