I know I know everybody knew this. Curious where he'll land and what y'all expect of him next season?

Ball says he's done at UCLA Lonzo Ball simply states that the Bruins lost to a great Wildcats team and compliments De'Aaron Fox's 39-point performance. When asked, Ball says this was his final game at UCLA and thanks the fans for all their support.

I hope he drops to the second round and gets a dog shite contract.

Agreed.

He'd fit anywhere, though be second banana in many places under more experienced PGs.
His best case scenario would be somewhere like Minnesota, if they can find a trade partner for Rubio or Dunn. He'd be fantastic in Philly, and a much needed boon to the Knicks, or Boston who would be freed to trade Thomas. He'd make the Laker rebuild much simpler, and Phoenix or Orlando would leap at the chance to get a PG to build around.
Really, just about anyone in the lottery would be extremely pleased to add him.

He should distance himself from his father a bit.

With his defensive ability, in Houston alongside James Harden.

I can see the warriors moving curry to for a top 3 pick to get him

It will be interesting to see what the 76ers do if they end up with the 2nd pick and Fultz goes #1. Do they take Ball even though they are probably pinning Simmons in as the defacto point guard?

Well, his a-hole dad says he wants to play for the Lakers. Can just see Magic putting up with his shite..sarcasm

I'm not high on Chriss and you are forgetting about Bender.

Can they just preemptively give him the Oakley-like ban?

Dude has an ugly arse shot.

I'd argue the setup is unorthodox, but when the ball leaves his hand, the follow through is textbook. Kevin Martin would be a good comparison (shooting form, not skill set)

What?? Of course you take Ball. They've been claimoring for backcourt help for years. Just because Simmons can run the offense through him doesn't mean they are planning on him being a full time PG

In a heartbeat. Just because Simmons has great ball skills, does not make him a natural point guard; you run an offense that can initiate through either Ball at point or Simmons at SF? That's some serious trouble for NBA defenses, and helps Simmons in terms of not requiring him to develop perimeter range right away.

I tend to agree with you two, but we still have the combine and predraft camps to go through. The 76ers could very well see a Josh Jackson being of equal caliber as Ball. If that is the case, it isn't out of the stretch of the imagination for them to maybe choose a Josh Jackson over Ball if they are comfortable with Simmons being their initiator. Some recent reports have come out saying that Simmons shoot has not gotten better and is still horrendous. They may have no choice but to have him initiate the offense. With all that being said, I would still take Ball.
