Knicks · Lonzo Ball (page 1)

The more I watched the tapes of all of these guys--the more I KNOW Ball is the STAR of STARS.

He actually has a game between Jason Kidd and Steph Curry--perhaps from watching both growing up. He doesn't quite have Kidd's jets when he came into the league from Cal nor does he have as accurate a J as Curry has--but he has a nice combination of both. What he needs to do is find a slightly higher wave of selfishness in the nBA--not to much--but he has to be in the 20's 45%+ and 40% 3. He going to get his rebounds and assists--hes going to be a very decent defensive player like both of those guys using brains length and very quick hands.

Some of these other guys are more "athletic" and on first glance the glitz and appeal of the skill and + athleticism can be spell bounding. But I see the NBA for what it is--and I go back to Golden State and the job that Curry has done (and still vastly under rated) and the good coaches theyve had Jackson and Kerr--who have seen it and gone with it.

The star is the guy with the ball in his hands who has the ability to do a lot with it--that isnt most of the guys in the draft --not saying the parts arent critical but they are--but Ball's assets are the best.

If I had a message to the Knicks--first off its really IMPORTANT that we lose the next game--because the 6 to 9 reality is still there. Keep the HIGHEST draft pick possible

If we do get 6 offer up a low RESTRICTION pick in 2018 and our lotto pick to move up for Ball. Ill cry about 2018 another day. Go get me the guy who counts--get me Ball and we can work around that. The team who values Ball will be the team winning a lot of games soon. . The big trouble is our allegiance to the "triangle" and the Lakers unless they are moved back will likely get him.

This would be my strategic move for the next two years--get me Lonzo Ball.

Briggs is not talking to us, he is talking to Ball and the Knicks.
