Doesn't matter how good ball is he will never live up to the hype

Lakers are fricked for years if so

How many more terrible takes do you have left?

More people than not seem to think he won't be very good because his father will ruin his career. So not much hype to live up to IMO.

Consensus first-team All-American (2017)
First-team All-Pac-12 (2017)
NCAA season assists leader (2017)
Pac-12 Freshman of (2017)
#2 pick in NBA draft

While still being the son of Lavar ball, you worry about the hype and what his dad says while the kid just goes out and plays basketball

Same thing doesn't seem to have hampered LeBron much.

Hype says sees the floor, pass first, better shooter than jason kidd (which was true of me and 50% of td posters who played aau.)

Not that hard to live up to that hype.
The negativity about ball release point is real.
His shot has low release. Who guesses that opening game vs warriors,iguadala blocks ball twice in first 5 minutes they are on court.

That boy is in for a rude awakening.

The hype is about seeing court. Seems legit.

Ball is rubio.2.

Not all that high of a bar.
His dad is the main hypester.

" Experts" over think this stuff at times . Just as Jerry West not wanting Magic Johnson in the draft probably because Magic had no jumpshot and not so good perimeter defense .

Ball seems to have " it" . Doesn't need to be a HOF ,but his court vision / willingness to give the ball up makes for an attractive teammate.

Lonzo will be an all star year 1.

If you speak it it will become true
