Lonzo Ball
We know about Lonzo Ball. We know what he brings to the table and how dynamic of a player he is. After his first two losses, the Lakers have not lost a game under his leadership. He has 4 games where he's got 10+ assists in the Summer League and the next best is one. Who does that in the Summer League? You don't even play that many minutes... He makes everyone around him better and players would love to come play with him (very similar to LeBron). Lonzo is definitely one of a kind.
Dennis Smith Jr.
Now how about Dennis Smith Jr.? Who is he? He's an explosive point guard with insane hops. He has a lot of potential and has been averaging almost the same numbers as Lonzo Ball in the Summer League. He was slept on by a few teams and fell all the way to 9th in this year's draft to the Dallas Mavericks. I believe Dallas could possibly want to rebuild and turn their team over to Dennis in the near future. Maybe after Dirk retires? By then this rookie will have a couple of full NBA seasons under his belt as well.
Head-to-Head
I hope I've set the stage up for you. Now that you know a little more about these two point guards... You get to see them go head-to-head in the Summer League Semi-Finals. Oh yeah and Dennis Smith Jr. had a nasty dunk after blowing by Lonzo. I still can't believe the hops he has for someone his size.
If you don't know the score try to predict who will win this matchup. Don't worry you'll see it at the end of the clip!
Enjoy!
