    He has Ball ranked 1st, by a wide margin.

    Has Fox ranked 10th.

    most stat models are going to love shooters, efficiency. maybe too much?

    Ergo .... trodgers loves stats so he can't wait for Lonzo. Oh wait.

    does rodg model college to pro stuff? i'd be curious to see.

    and i'm not bagging on pelton too hard; he's had some hits with his system. ball's just such a weird case...i really think his ucla team constituted an unusual circumstance that made everyone look a little better than they were.

    ball's shooting percentages are obviously super impressive, but as some have pointed out (as a positive), his shot selection was great. i'm not sure we always have that luxury at the next level. the houston rockets (and harden in particular) are a good case study in what happens when your adherence to the best shots and only the best shots runs into a team that simply won't allow those.

    I suspect his scoring efficiency will be pretty unimpressive.

    Loving the uncertainty the Lakers have caused for the draft, even if it is at the expense of us fans.

    Just finished it. I didn't know he wants all of his kids on the Lakers. Not gonna sit well with the players already there knowing he wants their jobs

    I love that the Laker Boston rivalry had an impact, for him, whether Lonzo worked out for Boston.

    Only small criticism / advice I have is
    .. and I know you were pressed for time and had to get as many questions in as you could, but I'd suggest some follow up questions based on his answers instead of moving on to the next question.

    Having said that, I really enjoyed that. Good info from the always entertaining Lavar. Thanks for sharing and happy to see your work / exposure getting out there.

    Thanks, yeah that was the trade-off. In trying to get more questions in I wasn't able to ask many follow ups. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to go more in-depth at a later date. His schedule was so insane and the interview got changed around so many times, then they called me an hour early. I had literally 3 minutes to set up my equipment and start otherwise it wasn't gonna happen, so it was hectic but I was glad we got it in.

    I like this particular tweet about why we wanted another workout at Lonzo location. We need to see what kind of work he does and puts in when he's on his own terms, doing the drills he's accustomed to and how hard/serious he takes them.

    In terms of evaluating and leaving no stone unturned I like this move from our FO.

    Apparently we've caused Philly and Phoenix to scramble a little bit with our uncertainty but I like it. I'd be more concerned if we came out a week before the draft knowing for certain who we were drafting. Be open to trade talks and double check, triple check your homework on these guys.

    Well s***. I don't know what to say. I've always liked LaV .... arrgghhh.... I could see liking him muh ...muh .... more now? Damn I hate that .... :Laugh:

    One thing though .... can't hurt Lonzo's chances in the Lakers FO's eyes, helping to paint the picture of just who this kid is, why he is the way he is and the support he has going forward toward his lofty goals.

    Honestly, I think there's no way Ball comes here and posts a WARP of 4.

    Interesting insight. I wonder who had secret workouts?



    What is this a spy movie?
