Works for me. I like winning your dough.

Simmons and Donovon Mitchell are locks for the first team, obviously. My guess would be the other three would be Lonzo, Tatum, and Markkanen. Dennis Smith Jr is the only one who I could see taking the other guard spot over Lonzo, but I don't think he will. Don't think Kuzma can beat out Tatum or Markkanen for a first team spot either.

Simmons
Tatum
Markkanen
Kuzma
Mitchell are locks barring injury

Dennis Smith was injured or else he'd get the nod over the overrated Ball. This one is just too easy.

Simmons and Mitchell are the only locks right now. It's funny you think the entire five are locks at midseason though.

Dennis Smith Jr has played 37 games, and Lonzo has played 36 games Lonzo is the better player also.

You can simply chalk this one up to the growing list of things that you are wrong about.

A few minutes ago you thought Dennis Smith had played less games than Lonzo due to injury. Might want to wait a bit before talking about who's right and wrong.

There you go lying again. I stated that he has been injured. You can infer from that what you wish.

No one is arguing that. The way you talk about him, you must think he's a top 10 player in the league.

He's been good. He may continue to be good. The problem for him, for the rest of his career, he will never be good enough to overcome his father and lame family. That's not his fault, but it is unfortunately his cross to bear. I don't expect him to be on the Lakers more than a couple of seasons unless he grows a pair of testicles and tells his family to stop riding his coattails. But, based on his personality, I don't think anyone expects that to happen.

Wrong again. All Rookie teams aren't selected based upon position.

All that means is that Lonzo has an even better shot at making it. Thanks for the free money.

Unless there's some sort of season-ending injury very soon, Ball will make the All-Rookie team on hype alone. Do you think talent or stats actually matter about "All-" teams?

If you think Fox has been a better player than Lonzo this year then just find a new sport man. Basketball isn't for you.

Considering your thoughts on Noel and Lauri Markennan among others its safe to say if basketball is your sport then its ok for it to be mine also.

At least I'm getting a $150 return for all the time spent this season correcting ltg.

You're confusing predictions with opinions. There's no shame in being wrong about someone you've never seen play pro ball before. But we've seen a half season of these guys. Lonzo has been unequivocally better than Fox in that half season. Lonzo is better at every single facet of the game except scoring, and Fox isn't even good at that yet either. If you can't see that, you clearly don't have a firm grasp on what you're watching.

So you're getting paid about $1/hour? Seems like a bad return on constantly having to correct a fool.

I still think Noel can play. It just won't happen in Dallas. Carlisle has buried other guys like Rondo on the bench when they could still play. You can't still be talking up Okafor and also try to take shots at Noel. Pick a lane on that one. Either both suck and are terrible or both might still be alright in the right situation.

Too bad he can't play more than 12 minutes bc he's lazy and out of shape

Okafor is better. Period. He played behind an All Star and franchise player. N

He's playing behind Tyler Zeller you fucking clown

No one besides you thinks Noel is better.

You like to do the "nobody but you thinks this" argument but the funny thing is you're wrong constantly when you say that. There are a lot of people who would still take Noel over Okafor. Noel can't play much offense, but he can defend really well and can rebound decently. Okafor has some post moves, but he's the worst defensive big guy in the league, can't rebound, and can't pass. Noel can still develop into a decent player. Look at him vs a young Tyson Chandler

We'll know more when he leaves the Mavs(might be traded to the Suns for Monroe) and gets another opportunity. Once you get in Carlisle's doghouse you don't get out. It's one of his only flaws as a coach, IMO.
