Lonzo is a bust. He will probably be backing up somewhere by next year. Hasn't come close to making the playoffs in 4 years despite playing with loads (Lebron, Jrue, Zion, Ingram, Randle, Clarkson) of talent. At some point it is fair to call it. He stinks. His brother was considered the better player 3 games into his playing career.

I'm glad you admit the wrongs of his game. That was what I stated about 4 years ago. I only really saw him in the McDonald's game and 1 or two games in college. However that was enough. His High Schools Stats were inflated by the style of play and the lack of competition that he happened to play against. He had serious holes in game and when a guy has to correct as many flaws as he has (Shooting, Finishing, Ball Handling) typically it never really happens for him. In addition he is only an average to below average athlete


As far as Trae goes lets not place him in the Hall just yet. While not a bust he still isn't close to being top 5. Morant is already better than him and so are a number of other guys currently. He outplayed Reggie Bullock. Not Chris Paul.

you don't know when to quit. Morant is not better than Trae, not even close. Trae is miles better on offense and they are essentially equal on defense with Morant having a slight edge.


As as for Trae and the Hall of Fame, he's not in there just yet, but he is definitely a 100% first ballot lock if he stays healthy over the next 5-10 years.

he may not be a top 5 PG at right now (Harden, Luka, Steph, Dame, CP3), but he's right on the cusp and no worse than 6 or 7 on that list. he's better than Ben Simmons that's for sure. NBA.com has a list and they have him 8th.

Morant checks him?

here's a great recent article comparing the two players and showing how Trae is the far superior player. Not even close or debatable.

I don't need an article. Particularly one from noted authority Franchise Sports I watch the game. The next time Trae guards a player for an entire game at his position (not on a switch of the pick and roll) let me know. There isn't an accident to him guarding Bullock (a small forward). Next it will be Green and no Seph Curry. He won't even be placed on the rookie from Kentucky. A damn backup. He will always take the path of least resistance on D. In that regard he is truly Steph Curry lite.

I personally have never liked gutless players. Guard your position.

Taking the L on this one but for the record Markelle Fultz isn't a bust. Injuries derailed the kid for a while but he is a player. Trae has got him but he should have a solid year next year barring injury.

Has looked very good since returning about a month ago.

He's a bust until proven otherwise at this point. I haven't seen him this year since he came back, but he did look a little better last year before the injury. But he has to be significantly better than where he was to avoid the bust label as a former #1 overall pick.

Definitely looking forward to seeing how he looks next season.

I'd take him straight up for Lonzo right now.
