    Not a flashy passer but he always finds the open man and gets it to him with simple passes. He's going to have to get used to the NBA players' length though I think.

    You forgot "The King","King James", "The Interview" screwing over fans,the team and the city. Left Miami beating around the bush again, makes dumb videos like a 20 year old but trying to be Jordan/Kobe at the same time lol.

    Yes I'm a Lakers fan, but with the right approach I'll give him a chance to salvage his name some and see if he blows smoke or genuine on hopefully the right things he says.

    Not a flashy passer, but Lonzo is just a ball mover and an initator of the offense. Makes sure everyone is in the right place. Makes good reads. Deathly accurate with some of his passes.

    20 seconds into the video and you notice how instinctive his passes are. they aren't flashy, but part of the mystique is that he makes it look SO easy. He's leading guys to where they need to be, rather than waiting on them to get open. His passes are also right in their wheelhouse to catch and shoot. we'll see how he develops defensively, but he should turn into a tremendous offensive PG at the very least.

    The difference between what Lonzo does with his passing vs what D'Angelo did is decisiveness and intent.

    What makes Lonzo's passing heads above the pack is that his passes are accurate and to the point, rather than flashy and trying to make something exciting. Although his passing might not have been as flashy as say a Magic, his style of passing becomes infectious with the rest of the team much like Magic's.

    Lonzo is the player who'll hit a player open coming off a down screen, throw an alley oop on the screen and roll, lazer passes to cutters, and make that extra pass giving up a good shot to get a great shot.

    Some of my favorites are him threading the needle in transition and much like Nash was so good at pushing the pace in transition drawing the defense and hitting the open man in the corner.

    Victim lol .... he sees greatness ... Ron is honest he said Lonzo isn't even the best player in the draft but he's going to be the best WINNER. Isn't that what us fans want?!?!?

    WINNING!

    I was joking... I get that you love Ball, but now you're needlessly defending him to a guy who is also thinks very highly of him. You can't seriously wonder why some here are a little turned off by your attitude about this after having just done this. You're allowed to post however you want here as long as you aren't attacking anyone or baiting/trolling, but my personal unsolicited advice, maybe take it down a notch Lavar.

    If you think I'm trying to defend him you are mistaken. I'm just playing around notice my use of "Winning". I'm just exaggerating that's all.

    Can't wait for the season to start so everyone can enjoy Magic Ball

    The speed at which Ball makes his decision to passes is incredibly elite. He get's the ball and before the defense can react, he's already passed it to a player with room to score.

    I was trying to think of another player to compare it to, but the ONLY player I can think of that could get the ball and give a laser accurate pass at the speed Ball does was Magic.

    Players like Kidd, Nash, or Stockton held the ball way longer than Ball does, and liked to probed the defense more. I don't think I've seen Ball hold the ball and probe the defense once in any game or highlight I've watched. He just passes it to another player in a better position to make a play, or passes it in position to score. It's insane.

    No wonder they call his passing infectious. And he makes it look so easy.

    I like Lee Jenkins so much... It hurts me to see him on that show validating Cowturd...

    But good to hear that Lee and Golden State are high on Ball.

    Lee echoes a lot of what I think of Ball and our trade.
