    I was impressed with Ingram. I'm not thrilled he's out for the rest of the summer league. This Lakers-Celtics game about to start should be good though.

    Major props to Caleb Swanigan for the weight loss. No more "Biggie".

    He looked great out there and is still a rebounding machine.

    We need the Rockets playing some teams with high picks to showcase our trade asset Zhou.

    Looks very polished. Seems to have a nice spin move and stepback.

    That inside out dribble move by Tatum with his left hand was pretty impressive

    I don't really like Tatum and his overdribbiling midrange iso game.

    lonzo's shot is sooooo broken. They're going to have to totally rebuild that crap. Take a couple years for him to be a decent shooter.

    so after the huge sample of 2 SL games my conclusion is that Tatum will be the new Gay and Lonzo will be a roleplayer pg.
    hot takes!

    Obviously Lonzo Ball played a lot better in the 1st half but the weird form on his jumper is going to hamper him until he changes it.
    Lonzo is Rondo and Tatum is Gay.

    Well..lol ..not even that imo. Rondo used to be a great defender and faster than Lonzo.

    Really if Lonzo becomes a superstar, I will be shocked. There I said it.

    The vast majority of non-Lakers fans would agree with you. The weird shot form almost guarantees it.

    I'm not ready to write off his defense just yet. He has active hands but needs to improve his footwork and fundamentals.

    But like Rondo, he'll be successful if the Lakers surround him with superstars.

    These guys are so young it's really hard to tell. But Tatum? Dude looks soooooo amazing.
