wow steve if u dont like drama maybe log off

love woj's new advice column

@wojespn
LiAngelo Ball will struggle to find a serious job playing pro ball, including the G-League. ESPN’s Mike_Schmitz projected him in HS as a small-ball stretch 4-man at the mid-major college level. Would make sense for him to find a scholarship at lower level and stay in school.

yeah ucla just took him on as part of a ball bro package deal and dropped him the second they cld, if he was a valuable player they wldve suspended him a few games then called it a day

LaVar Ball spoke to @tailopez on his YouTube channel about how to fix the Lakers' losing. Second photo is the most interesting. (And here's the video: https://t.co/q2G9LOjuBW): pic.twitter.com/pF8AY7fHj5

i agree that lavar should be the coach of the lakers

its the right thing

for the greater good

lavar publicly criticizing the lakers' $25 million coach 25 games into the season... who could've seen this coming

my god drafting lonzo was a catastrophe

lakers are playing ok, is that in spite of linzo's bad shooting or bc he brings other things to the team?

lakers have lost 10 out of their last 15 which prob isnt much of a reflection on lonzo but he is bad

oh ha, been out of the loop. they started out ok

yeah theyve been pretty bad since then tho are prob better than the really bad teams chicago sacto et al

of course it only takes an injury or two or for them to give up on defense as bad teams often do for them to slide (i am rooting for them to slide since the celtics own their pick)

theyre probably about where they should be considering their inexperience/age and such. Kobe had some good points about them recently

yeah its def foolish to expect young players to win the lakers problem is more that theyll be lucky if one of their young players matures into a star

a patient impatience

dark musings

would you rather have brandon ingram or jaylen brown

brown, tho ingram is def showing signs this year his game still pretty fd up, brown is already very solid his floor is way higher, ingram maybe has a higher ceiling tho he cant shoot so far, brown is 40% from 3 idk

obvs the context of their teams/roles makes a comparison difficult

brown seems like he has a better mindtype too

brown, love 2 favor system guys

i think having watched a lot of brown i'm a little less high on him than some ppl and having watched a little ingram i find him interesting tho not even close to a complete player so i'm probably not qualified to answer this question.

brown is just like a little mechanical in a way that makes me think his basketball instincts will limit him. good rotation player, starter. not more than that.

p sure celtics will be happy with that tho

i think i'd probably still take ingram bcuz of his ceiling as a scorer but jaylen may be a more "winning" player

i wanted to crap on the lakers for taking ingram no. 2 overall but but that draft was pretty terrible

brown at his current trajectory will prob make an allstar team at some point, hes def a lil mechanical but its crazy how well he plays for a mechanical 21 y/o, and hes got a lot of time to get less mechanical, if u had told me this time last year that hed be shooting 40% i wldve said no that doesnt sound right but youre the one from the future i guess, what im trying to say is his jump shot was rough as hell, its still far from perfect but its a shit ton better than it was

ingram shot poorly in college and continues to shoot poorly which isnt as good from a shooting perspective

u know who else is mechanical kawhi leonard now he is the best player

yeah i was thinking the same there are some super athletic huge wing types who have overcome being mechanical and looking like they only play basketball because theyre built for it to ascend to star status your kawhis and your paul georges and people of that nature, not saying brown is gonna get there but hes def already proven hes a guy who knows how to work on his game, and obvs also has a great learning/coaching situation and a role he can grow into at his own pace

+ he has the goggles

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQkpqErUEAAsYgo.jpg

idk why but jaylen always looks shorter to me than he's listed. i feel like he'll need to add a lot more offensive skill to become a truly great offensive player... it's hard to imagine him just pulling up and shooting over guys off the dribble consistently and things of that nature. he's already pretty good in the post tho? and at worst he'll be one of the best 3 and D wings in the league... an igoudala-like role seems like a decent midpoint for his potential.

like...sixers, nugs, or warriors iggy?

prime iggy was a very good player that level of solid all starship wld be a fine outcome for sure, i know its weird he doesnt look great out there but hes already quite effective which makes me think hes got a pretty high ceiling, like he looks like hes playing at half speed most of the time just ramping up the pace which one wld think is something that will come with experience will make him a lot better

its seems doubtful hell ever be an elite scorer but i cld easily see him as a 18-20pts a game with all world D type of guy

i mean shit hes already scoring 15pts in 30mins in a crowd of 3rd options maybe he will be an elite scorer

i mean iggy in general in that he would be overstretched as a lead scorer/#1 option on offense but as a potential versatile elite defender who can hit 3s and put the ball on the floor when need be he would be very valuable

sounds about right

this is good (marc stein talks to kevin martin about weird shooting strokes): https://t.co/JhSxmc0UPB

fran!

Prominant former American player who played for Ball brothers's new coach had some insight on him: 1. Competent coach w/free-wheeling pick-and-roll offense. 2. Speaks no English 3. Screams the entire game. 4. Sold meat out of his car trunk to his players after practice. I swear.

fran is so great

oh yeah he's the best.
