ORIGINAL: Elliot I'm trying to fully prepare myself for a season full of headlines like: "Lonzo inspires despite seemingly sub-par stat line" and "Ball silences critics; hits 3 shots in a row" and "Ball dominates for stretches in loss". Its going to be great watching the media slobber over Ball for the very things they'd criticize Rubio for... Yeah. That's my point. That, plus the fact that all of the highlights were of Lonzo. You'd have thought, based upon how everything was presented, that the Lakers routed the Wolves solely because of Ball's Herculean effort. Then you see the score and learn the Lakers lost by double-digits. He's going to have a lot of near triple-doubles. I see a ton of 7/8/12 type of games. He's definitely a lot more willing to take shots than Ricky, but I'm not sure he's a markedly better shooter. He's going to force a bunch of awful shots. I'm only half joking when I suggest that Magic Johnson has notified ESPN that his willingness to engage them is in direct proportion to the hype they're willing to give Lonzo.
