And he let his man get 28 pts, and the lakers D gave up 130 pts to a team Portland just beat by 48.

Ball and Russell will form the slowest backcourt and worst perimeter defense in the league. On the other hand, his passing is artful and possibly revolutionary. He will maybe get a lot stronger and develop a mid-range game to exploit shorter guards. But for the first three years, he is essentially a young Shaun Livingston. His ego is also fragile and he tends to go into a shell when times get tough. Over time, perhaps Magic Johnson will trade Russell and groom Ball into a good player. I also foresee Ball becoming physically hurt and mentally broken during his rookie season. The criticism from the L.A. media will be intense.

Wow, I totally forgot writing this . . . but it's played out as I originally expected. Magic even traded Russell.
Kyle Kuzma was a steal though. He is way more NBA ready than Ball.
