it's similar to my argument with Fultz.

he doesn't need to be Batman on the Sixers.

doesn't even need to be Robin.

hell - he could be Wonder Woman for all I care - 3rd banana.

leave being an alpha up to Embiid and Simmons.

i look at Ball sometimes and I see Jahlil Okafor (who I'm hoping gets a 2nd chance in the NBA)

Yeah and Fultz has a better supporting cast already, and oddly less hype to live up to despite being the #1 pick. I'm curious as to the conspiracy theory his father will concoct if Lonzo doesn't pan out. Still, I'm not going to bury the guy after a handful of games. Just like I'm not giving up on Fultz yet.

it's like beverly said after the first game - he's got a target on his back now because of his dad.

is it fair?

not really. but he's a grown man now. love the kids talent and skills - he does have the chance to be like jason kidd - but there's times you look at him (like Okafor) and wonder - is this kid really a killer? not only his dad projected it but Magic has been hyping him since they drafted him.

it's one of the reasons i love DSJ - he's just a terminator
