he doesnt attempt to and doesnt need to in order to run a team. he a floor spacers with his range and has an unreal feel for the game

He absolutely needs to be able to break the defense down occasionally in the half court. I think him and D Lo are interchangeable and can be fine together. But his handle and ability to beat bigs off switches needs to improve. I think the defensive concerns are overblown too in Lonzo's case.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Are the Celtics bringing Yabusele over for next season? They need to get his weight under control, dude is starting to look sloppy.

I haven't heard of any weight issues. He looks bigger but he's actually pretty muscular. Seemed like a lock he was coming over but based on some stuff I've read, it's no longer a lock.

Zizic is definitly coming tho and there's scenarios where he's starting by January imo

Nah, he looks bad now compared to how he looked in France/Summer league -

He looks straight up fat now, where as in Summer league he just looked like an NFL player playing basketball. Whatever he weighs now, he should be 15lbs lighter, you can see the difference in his face alone.

That's crazy

I like Isaac but he doesn't have the upside and creativity/wiggle with the Ball offensively to pick him top 4


Suns must've made him a promise.


They visited him twice and took him to dinner.


Only prospect they had dinner with.


They normally pick the prospect they have dinner with


Been the trend over the last few year

They already got a crowded young frontcourt. Haven't really thought about how he fits in with Bender and Chris's for the future

I know u can't make a pick this year thinking about next year but their still rebuilding and will probably get a high pick next year and next years top 5 picks will basically be all frontcourt players and no guards so they'd be in a weird spot

I know he had foot surgery and won't be in summer league.

He seems a lil redundant after taking Dragan Bender last year, but Ryan McDonough loves his young frontcourt prospects.


A frontcourt of

C-Bender

PF-Chriss

SF-Isaac


Could be really interesting.......They'd get murdered on the boards, tho

Lakers fan. Like Lonzo--a lot.

I also like Sindarius Thornwell, who will probably be available in the late first:
6-5, 6-10 wingspan 3&D prospect. Top HS recruit out of Oak Hill, led South Carolina to the Final Four--has pedigree, dominated as a senior.
