He moved on the court with the type of swagger of superstar.

You know who else has incredible swagger? A number of dip****s i've played pickup ball with.

Tatum shows promise but you are overreacting. I would bet lots of money that the first summer league game is not a statistically significant indicator of future nba success...same probably goes for all summer league games combined.

How does one quantify swagger? I need to know this so the next time I'm watching a game I can tell the superstars from the regular players.

People that don't watch the NBA think this. NBA defense is so good. Jimmer Fredette can't even make a team but he averaged 28.9 ppg in college and 37.6 ppg in China...

So if they don't play defense in the NBA, where do they play it?

Just because zone defense is illegal in the NBA does not mean nobody plays defense.

I guess he know the names of some NBA players. But if he is making predictions again, it will go over as well as a skunk finding it's way into church at the same time as the holy spirit.

I was a 6'2" 175lb left handed white guy who could honestly dunk with two hands with a drop step and ran a 4.58. I was a D 3 guy, but a "good athlete". You're right our definitions are different.

I can swag with the best of them when I walk into the casino....but my ass always plays $5 blackjack.

Lonzo... Glad you aren't judged by stats.

That swagger though

Its just one game. He was shaky. It happens. Derrick Rose shot 29% in summer league as a rookie. Then he easily won ROY.

Lonzo is a pass first player. Summer league will never show his true talent. We gotta wait until the regular season when he's surrounded by actual NBA players.

Tatum is a solid all around player. Not exceptionally great at anything. Grant Hill, after the injuries, is a good comp

Lonzo just had an epic failure debut...(return those BBB's!) and De'Aaron Fox started his HOF trek. #SummerLeagueLogic

I think he'll be one of the better players in the league over the next 10 years. He'll end up being ROY this year IMO Probably the most NBA ready rookie.
