The only Lonzo apologist on this board seems to be Shakes.
I agree he seems like he will be a solid pro but not a game changer.
He gets a pass on being an apologist though. It is difficult not to see that he isn't that great but why do idiotic comments go unabated? Has there been a sig? ?Where are the gifmeisters that are right there for you in other instances? Has anything been bumped in conjunction with the crap this often spewed with regard to Ball's performance? He has been given a pass.
You're simply not reading the thread. You're too interested in playing the victim. It's sad.
Shakes is far from the most liked poster here, and several people in this thread have criticized his Lonzo thoughts. Even I have! And I am probably the 2nd biggest Lonzo fan on the board behind shakes. I think he's already good and think he's going to be very good. And yet, I still repeatedly tell shakes he's too over the top in his love of Lonzo. If you don't believe me, simply ask him or read the thread. I won't even ask for an apology.
Again the proof is in the posting. What a person thinks and doesn't think isn't much relevant at this point. I could say it isn't about victimhood but you will still think what you think. He has gotten a pass. You even attempted to deflect with the extremely meek deflection pertaining to Carmelo Anthony at some point.
As far as you thinking he has been good or not good is besides the point. The numbers don't suggest that he has been good. Among rookies he hasn't been the best on his team. He isn't in the top 5 or Probably 10 in terms of most impressive. When you factor in other circumstances pertaining to him you can easily make the argument that he sucks. At best he has been mediocre
When a guy repeatedly comes on here expressing how great he is while the eye test and the stats suggests otherwise he deserves to be hammered if people are going to pontificate about integrity. There isn't any and people respond to post (as you are doing yet again) and not poster.
The overriding consensus for now is that people should pump the brakes as far as his greatness.
Just to reiterate the proof is in the posting. I don't care to hear about whether they like or dislike him. he has been provided with a pass and if he hasn't where is the evidence to the contrary? Not respectful dissent either. "assanine thoughts" type dissent. Where does it exist?
