The "newcomer" point guard who i'm intrigued the most is the comebacking 6'11 ben simmons of the 76ers. Can you imagine an uno who's that tall? Even magic johnson didn't have this kid's kind of physical tools. Now, if only he can stay healthy...

when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you

Yeah. Teams will just send their best on ball defender to hound ball and then he will be a non factor with his unreliable shot.

Watching ben simmons highlight from last years summer league and im impressed. Not that quick but he can get away with that. I can see a young penny hardaway with his all around skill set and vision.

Sixers' medical staff might be the most stressed in the league.

It looks like that the celts were right in trading down. Tatum was making grown men shots. If their current core doesn't perform well, they still have the future in them.

Ben Simmons was training with the King yesterday. side by side he looks as healthy as Lebron, a good thing for Philly

DSJ looks like the real deal in Dallas.

I would share the same sentiment as Darius Soriano's: I Don’t Care if it’s Only Summer League, Lonzo Ball is Special | Forum Blue And Gold

But still not a fan of LaVar's mouth

I hope Lonzo can still perform even with excellent on ball defenders on him. The rumors of him faking a groin injury to avoid playing against De'Aaron Fox don't bode well for the Lakers.

Lakers kk kuzma has the mamba mentality. 👏

his pump fakes and 3s are very good.

I think he ranked 27th in the draft coz of his wingspan.

That guy can be a solid wing player.
I hope he doesn't get burried in the ingram nance randle deng rotation.

Ball did well in the summer league after a horrible start.
Some observations on Ball.
**While he racked up his assist numbers to double digits, I noticed quite a few came from lob passes. The ones he made were accurate (of course) but I wonder if that will work against real NBA players. First he has to get the defensive rebound which I am not he can on a regular basis against NBA PF and centers.
**He has a very basic drive and kick out style of play making which I believe can be read easily by NBA defenders.
**Perimeter shooting is very suspect. If he doesnt improve on his shooting, his passing will be easy to defend.
**Below average defender.

I think he'll be an average NBA player.
