He is very good, but he is the 3rd best player on the floor - Monk and Fox!!! His dad is sadly mistaken if he thinks he is better than Curry!!!!
UCLA's Ball???
- Thread starter R-MOE
- Start date
The announcers keep talking about his other brothers coming to UCLA in the coming years. The next one arrives next season along with 5 other recruits all of whom are rated higher than him. UCLA has two 5 star recruits, four 4 star recruits and Ball who is a 3 star recruit coming in next year.
Alford said its the #2 class in the USA and that is why he is not looking to leave UCLA
Raw athleticism for Monk and Fox is off the charts. Ball is skilled but not nearly the same athlete and has funky shot. Will be interesting to see how he does in NBA.
He is better then both of his younger brothers combined, IMO. The Ball talent peaks with the oldest and gets worse down the line.
Top recruiting class or not, they're still going to be coached by Alfraud.
It's good but if you watch the highlights from that game, it was pretty bush league. Let his teammates played D while he stood on the other end of the court waiting for the full court outlet pass.
His 30+ against Oak Hill was more impressive than that debauchery imo. LaMelo will be better than LiAngelo but I agree that Lonzo will likely be the best

Lonzo will be drafted before Monk, he brings allot more to the table.
It will be a toss up between him and Fox, Ball is a better shooter and a Jason Kid level passer, if not better, but his defense sucks, and his shot is weird.
Fox will be one of the two or three best athletes in the nba next year. Hes got speed like Westbrook but with a better vertical. Right now hes ungaurdable in college even with no jump shot. Hes super skinny and cant shoot.
Ball is a more finished product, where Fox, as good as he is, still has room for growth in his game.

He had some good assists, I'll give him that. But in one game, the only time I've seen him play much, I was not impressed. As you correctly stated, his shooting form is reminiscent of a shot putter and the next time he plays Defense will be the 1st sighting near as I can tell.
I think I saw where his shooting percentage was pretty good for the year, all I could figure was he made a LOT of layups.
Hes actually a 41% 3pt shooter on almost 200 attempts, the shot looks weird buts its usually pretty good. For comparison Jok shot 38% on 220 attempts.
His passing is a mix of Lebron and J Kidd. Led ncaa in assists but hes actually too unselfish.
Hes a top 5 pick unless his dad scares teams away.
Ball reminds me a lot of Jason Kidd. Great vision and pin point passer. He has good length and is quicker than you realize. He does have a funky shot that needs some work.
Fox is also a great player, who should go very high in the draft. He has it all (great ball skills and length, plays both ends well, can shoot and handle the ball), but is not the pure PG that Ball is. That could be good or bad, depending what you are looking for.
Monk is electric when he is on, but he seems to be very inconsistent.
