2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[DallasBasketball]

With the consensus being that the ideal guard next to Luka is someone who can defend the point of attack and take playmaking duties off of Luka when needed whether it be when Luka is doubled or with the second unit, I'm very surprised that Lonzo isn't talked about much here.

The guy shot like a percentage point less than Hardaway on one more attempt per game from 3, plays elite defense in the backcourt and can actually, like....dribble which was a glaring issue for our roster in general this series.

I think Ball is interesting. He gives you that length and defense you wanted from Richardson (to be the head of your snake), but on offense when he’s alone out there he’s actually a true point guard. 

I worry about chemistry if he can’t play off the ball with Luka. Ball is a guy IMO who is good enough to run a team but in every situation he’s been passed up in that role by a point forward and certainly shouldn’t take priority over Luka as the point guard. Not to mention the part about his annoying dad.
