not really, the two problems have completely different weights. He took 10 threes the whole year, i'd assume they are mostly end of halftime shots or the sort. Fts you can't avoid them and it means you can't play in the 4th. It's that much more of an issue for a pg, because it makes him that much weaker in the paint.

Ball filled up the box score with 8 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and a career-high 6 steals in 34 minutes. It was the most minutes Ball has played in his three games back. He missed 15 games because of his MCL injury.

If there's time left in the season after he's healthy, Walton said Hart will be back.


Six Lakers scored in double figures Thursday night, including Isaiah Thomas (29 points and six 3-pointers) and Julius Randle (25 points, 21 coming in the first half), but Lakers coach Luke Walton said Ball was the best player on the floor despite taking only five shots.

Where is the media going with this gaslighting they've been doing regarding Lonzo Ball? Just read that fucking shit, filled up the box score? Best player on the floor with 8 points and 7 assists in 34 minutes when IT and JR had 29 and 25 respectively?

I dont get it either DMC. Those numbers are alright, nothing to write home about. If any other point guard had those stats in a game, even Laker fans would say it was a mediocre performance. I would take IT over Ball every single day of the week. WHY? Because IT can SCORE!!! along with getting assists and steals.

He has to put up better scoring numbers IMHO to be there. Im not saying he sucks anymore, but he is hyped way more than any #2 selections Ive ever seen. How did DLO's numbers compare at this point in his career? Just curious.

there is no denying lonzo. he is official.

I found the stats comparison below for DLO vs Longo.

I guess what I see is that Lakers fans are like............OMG Lonzo is awesome!!! and DLO sucked........well, their stats overall are comparable really, with DLO destroying Lonzo in scoring and all shooting percentages and Lonzo owning in assists and rebounds. I dont know, I just think its kinda funnies.

Like it or not, scoring PGs are more valuable in today's league than the Lonzo/Rondo/Rubio types. You can't invest the #2 pick, the most touches and time of possession on the team by far, and (eventually) a significant percentage of the cap into a point guard who can't shoot or score.

Arguably the biggest reason why the Lob City Clippers never won anything was because the ball was dominated by a point guard who was reluctant to look for his shot and take over games with his scoring. Instead, he'd dribble, dribble, dribble, and then defer to Jamal or JJ for a brick. It just doesn't work against playoff defenses.

Your comparison to Pail doesnt make any sense ...Lonzo not only doesnt over dribble but in fact should dribble more.

Title teams need unselfish guys like Iggy, Odom, Kidd Pippen Bowen who are more focused on the collective than hunting shots or glory.
No way will he be as good as Magic ...hey may never be Kidd.
but even in modern NBA hebhas value because he increases tempo pace and space rebounds ay an elite,rate and finds shooters. if ingram has to playmake some to offset what he does not well ...that is good for the development of both guys.

[Clipper Nation]

It's not about hype - it's about the opportunity cost of drafting Lonzo at #2 over a better prospect for today's league.


Your comparison to Pail doesnt make any sense ...Lonzo not only doesnt over dribble but in fact should dribble more.
Not saying they play the exact same way... just pointing out how a PG who can't take over the game with scoring limits the ceiling of a team if they're a key player on the roster.


Title teams need unselfish guys like Iggy, Odom, Kidd Pippen Bowen who are more focused on the collective than hunting shots or glory.

Spot on, per par. Didn't DOK once say that you can't rang with a PG as your best player (or something like that)? Well, he's not our best player (BI is IMO). Once we add talent, neither BI, Randle, Zo, or Kuz will be no more than 2nd options (if we get a max player) - 3rd if we get two.

I'm in a a great state of mind here. Our young guns are developing. We've beaten several playoff teams already: Sp:lolrs, Wizards, Rockets, Philly, Celtics :), Nuggs, OKC (twice), Indiana, and the Heat last night. We went toe to toe with the Dubs and could have won all 3 games (moral victories count for nothing). We were competitive in several other games whereas we lost due to turnovers, stupid fouls, and a ton of missed freebies (all traits of the NBA's youngest team).

So if we have to grow into contention from within, I'm cool with it because I've seen several encouraging signs. Even the Dubs grew from within...then put themselves in position (cap wise) to make key signings to complement their core. Look at them now: a juggernaut that these farmers hate :lol

They set the blueprint. Maginka would be wise to follow it. Time will tell if they have the pedigree to turn this thing around. We shall see....

[LkrFan]

It's not about hype - it's about the opportunity cost of drafting Lonzo at #2 over a better prospect for today's league.

I'll bite: who's a better overall prospect in this class than Zo? Fox? Tatum? Who? I'd take Zo overall of them and I'm not even joking.


Not saying they play the exact same way... just pointing out how a PG who can't take over the game with scoring limits the ceiling of a team if they're a key player on the roster.
If that's true, explain why, despite him scoring only 8 points, why was he a game high +24? That's higher than IT (29 points), Randle (25 points), Dragic (19 points, 7 assists), etc. Answer: because individual scoring isn't the only way to take over a game. Rebounding, steals, deflections that lead to steals, assisting teammates with scoring, etc - Zo does all that in spades to take over games.

Sidenote: he's shooting 42% from downtown over his last 15 games (which would be 16th in the league if it were for the whole season btw). He shot 66% last night and 100% last game. His shot is still a work in progress, but he is improving...

iggy was a high lottery pick too ...
And doesnt matter where you get unselfishness from ... i just know u need it and Kidd was also the #2 pick ...
And even in today's NBA ...I would have no problem drafting him #2 in last year or this year's draft ...and yes I would take him over Lonzo ...

What’s the sample size again?

[lebomb]

I'll bite: who's a better overall prospect in this class than Zo? Fox? Tatum? Who? I'd take Zo overall of them and I'm not even joking.






I would take Donovan Mitchell and Tatum over Zo. But thats just me.

[DMC]

He'd start for your playoff bound Sp*rs right nowPERIOD.

Pop could have Luke Walton starting.

[LkrFan]

Pop could have Luke Walton starting.

:lol

[DMC]

Oh NOW scoring matters to you? :lol You're a fat fingered joke. F:lolH son


Mid single digits in 3 categories isn't "filling up the box scores". If he had 20 assists, or 15 rebounds, or 25 points we could talk. He posted scrub numbers. This is like a fucking prank.

[DMC]

:lol

:pop: "Wouldn't be fair to Patty"

[DMC]

He'd start for your playoff bound Sp*rs right nowPERIOD.

He's not better than Randle or IT. Both would be starting for the Spurs and Lonzo, being a rookie with a mouthy father, would never see the floor. He'd be traded to Phoenix for late 2nd round pick.

[LkrFan]

I would take Donovan Mitchell and Tatum over Zo. But thats just me.

So you like one dimensional gunners. They're a dime a dozen throughout the league. Scoring is the only thing they do better.

Not gonna knock either player because I like them both, but I sincerely like Zo better.

I see Zo's ceiling as 12-15ppg, 8-11apg, 7-9rpg, 2spg. I'll take numbers like that from my PG. I mean he's giving us 10/7/7 right now as a rookie so my pipe dream ceiling for him seems reasonable. If 10/7/7 is his floor, I'll take it.

That sounds like a ROLL player to me. Not the superstar Laker fan are claiming he will be.

:lol This statement coming from a Kobe fan is just comical.

[LkrFan]

Fat fangers is big mad. If IT were better than Lonzo, he'd be starting and not the backup. Randle is gonna be nice. Who do you think is setting him up (besides Ingram) for all those easy looks?

It's not Zo's job to get 25 ppg. His job is to get the ball to his scorers so they can do what they do. Saw it just last night. He made a steal, had a breakaway, glanced over at Kuz (a scorer) and gave him the ball instead of easily scoring himself. Scorers love to be fed. He'd be averaging well over 10 apg if his teammates could make their shots. This, as a damn rookie.

[LkrFan]

:lol This statement coming from a Kobe fan is just comical.

Even during his infamous 6-24 Finals game, he had a game high 15 rebounds and played great defense. Kobe's hardly 1 dimensional. -10 points son.

[Mikeanaro]

IT is the reason the Cavs were losing

IT was not the only Cav traded dad, they were full of shit like Derrick Rose, Shumpert, Crowder wasnt working and also they had that corpse called Wade.
Why you prefer some scrub making 8 points over a guy making 29 from the bench.

IT had a wonderful season in Boston, is Longonner doing the same for LA?

[LkrFan]

That sounds like a ROLL player to me. Not the superstar Laker fan are claiming he will be.

Where did I call him a superstar?

[Mikeanaro]

He's not better than Randle or IT. Both would be starting for the Spurs and Lonzo, being a rookie with a mouthy father, would never see the floor. He'd be traded to Phoenix for late 2nd round pick.
I like to think about Longturd as a glorified Nando De Culo.

[LkrFan]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been literally unstoppable since Lonzo Ball returned from a lengthy MCL sprain recovery. The team has won four straight games since Ball started playing again, albeit without him suiting up for their win against the Sacramento Kings.

Since Ball’s return, the Lakers are outscoring teams by 23.5 points per 100 possessions while he’s on the floor and 10 points per 100 possessions when he sits. Meaning, the Lakers have still been solid while Ball is out and have made legit strides coming out of the All-Star break, but they’ve also been absolutely steamrolling teams when he is in.

[LkrFan]

Boxscore watchers might minimize Ball’s impact on the Lakers’ win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night as he put up just eight points on 3-of-5 shooting.

But the rookie point guard also dished seven assists, snatched eight rebounds and swiped six steals in a typically well-rounded game for the young floor general.

[LkrFan]

Ball is the type of player whose value is difficult to judge at first glance. His shot is wonkier-looking than some taped-together MacGuyver invention, he doesn’t have an ankle-breaking crossover and he isn’t an athlete that jumps out of the gym.

What he is, as cliche as it’s become to say, is a winner. Statistics show the Lakers never play faster than when Ball is on the floor, and never play slower than when he sits. The team also never assists on less of its buckets (55.5 percent) when Ball sits and never assists more (60.7 percent) than when he’s on the floor.

[Clipper Nation]

So they're outscoring opponents by double digits regardless of whether or not Lonzo is playing... remind me again why Lonzo's getting the credit?

[LkrFan]

How fast Ball thinks, how quickly he passes and how he almost never reads things the wrong way make the Lakers a better team every single time he steps on the court.

What’s been true almost all year outside of a few duds was true once again against the Heat, and maybe if Walton and other Lakers continue to point it out, people will start to notice how much better Ball makes the Lakers go.

[LkrFan]

So they're outscoring opponents by double digits regardless of whether or not Lonzo is playing... remind me again why Lonzo's getting the credit?

So the Lakers should straight up suck donkey balls when he is out? NVM, I know the answer :lol

[lebomb]

Lakerfan just thinks he is better than he is. Randall has been the difference. They started winning before he came back. Long before.

They have to sell that snake oil to Lakers fans because NBA profit sharing means every team in the league needs the Lakers to sell out games.

Did you watch the game or were you box score pimping? Honest question.

I'm not box score pimping. ESPN said he filled up the box scores. What does that mean exactly? He didn't hit double digits on anything. I didn't say he didn't play well, I said he did not stuff the stats, and how can he be the best player on the floor, what... the eyeball test?

Odd that 25-5-5 didn't include the eyeball test.

41/84 from 3, P15 games. Does everything else extremely well for a PG.

He's going to be a star.

[SuperCam]

He's better than Dijon Murray already tbh.

[StrengthAndHonor]

And he’ll get there. His shooting woes is all mental. He’s even missing his freebies and wide open layups. Bump this next year and I’ll accept your apologies, sir.


I was arguing with Mid and a couple of fellas back in November. I said his struggles was mental yet they refused to believe it. This kid was shooting 41% beyond the arc and was highly efficient in college, granted, the pros are a different setting but I knew adjustment isn’t going to be an issue. Missing wide open layups/shots was an indicator it’s a confidence thing...

Lakers are young, talented and winning is becoming a habit and it's only gonna get better once this core hits their prime. They also got a bunch of money to spend and a competent front office that's been making the right draft picks and trades.

No one on the Lakers organization would want to trade places with the spurs right now.

What you say about the Lakers can be said about a number of NBA teams, none of whom are even close to contending for a title. You're TLong III only at least he's making the playoffs. You're 5 years into a playoff drought and Shaq ain't walking through that door. Even if you had Lebron and Paul George, you're not beating the Warriors. You might again see a playoff game in the next few years, but right now you're slightly better than lottery.

Of course no one on a 5 billion dollar + franchise wants to trade places with a 1.2 billion (that's generous) one. It's not about winning though. You have what's historically been the number 1 spot for big name free agents to land, and it's been crickets since your Pope/cancer was hauled around like a demigod and showered with praises. Last time we met in the playoffs you didn't win a single game, and were ushered out in historical fashion.

Spurs can fade and no one will giggle at it, father time is undefeated, but that Lavar Ball shit show you got going on there in LaLa land, that's priceless.

Luckily for the Lakers they got time on their side. While Kiwi is gonna be spending is prime stuck in SA watching the Warriors ring again and again, by the time the Lakers core hits their prime, Warriors will be old and most likely not as currently constructed.

yawn, said all along the boy is a solid pick, you can't go wrong with a great defender and playmaker with size and feel for the game. He'll work on that shot (improved drastically this year) and by year 2-3 he'll be a very good/star player already.

The jury is still out IMHO.........like Charles and Sean Elliott said, he will be a streaky shooter because of his shot. He will have 25-30pt games followed by games with 1-8, 3-14 etc. I dont see how that can be translated into stardom. Just sayin. Prove me wrong Longo.

son this nigga is shooting an average of 34% from 3 for the season after he started horribly (at 20%) so his shooting will be fine long term. Also he has the FULL package beside a very good shot (it will be decent in 2-3 years) : leadership, defense, playmaking, not dominating the ball, running a team, etc. So his worst case scenario is a 18/7/7 player with great defense, great playmaking and not ball dominant. That's an excellent player. I rate him like a young mike conley, who btw was enormously underrated by the "ppg/rangz" crowd. With a good coach that's a very good piece.
So that's why I'm saying it's obvious he'll do good.

That right there will keep him from being more than Rajon Rondo IMHO. I have nothing against Lonzo at all. I just see him as being a good player, not a superstar like Lakeshow believes.
I was viewing Lakersground forum after the Spurs lost to them and everyone was like......OMG!!! Lonzo this Lonzo that.....he is the best , future superstar.......OMG Lonzo 6-6 from 3pt land. After being raped by Dame, noone is saying a damn thing. Wait and see how it all pans out before anointing a suspect shooter All-Star status is all Im sayin.

Oh yeah, and his dad is :lmao

So is duncan a system player again? Why do the spurs need good players to win if it’s all about the system?

His Bronze Medal is proof he's an NBA ref protected Pop system playerPERIOD.

So why do the spurs have anything to worry snout? They still have their system.

This shit is so misleading............ :lmao Lonzo is taking a hell of a lot less shot attempts than those guys and is only avg 10pts a game. In his 30+ min on the floor taking more shots as a starting PG should, dis nigga would be shooting like 19%.

If I took 2 shots in a game and hit one of them. Im at 50%. :claw

My rookie PG is a continual work in progress.

[LkrFan]

There's two sides to every story. In the NBA there's two sides of the court too:

972319637286273024

He's an average (not terrible) defender already as a rookie PG. He's gotten "rooked" all year with some bogus fouls, but that's to be expected. He gotta pay his dues.

5 points, 3 rebs 7 ass in 31 minutes, thats some Dejounte Murray shit.
Saved by the Randle.

as long as we get wins without Ingram ...ill take it Randle 4 years older should be carrying us tbh ...

[LkrFan]

Bad game by the rook. Bricked 3s, missed dunk, missed floaters in the lane, got schooled by George Hill.

On a side note, Randle to the NBA before he threw LBJ off a waterfall:

Just like I said last week. Lonzo looked amazing against the Spurs, but I said lets see if he could keep it up. Well, I was right. Dude is so inconsistent. I do not see how he is any better than DLO who the lakers dumped. I mean, last night Lonzo played 32min, was 2-11 from the floor, 1-6 3pt and put up a whopping 5pts.

[lebomb]

Lonzo Balls 3pt avg the last 5 games. The Spurs game is first.

Spurs: 60%
43%
30%
12%
16%

Not bad........

Good post. The difference between him and D'Lo are on the defensive side of the ball. Zo >>>> him defensively and is a better leader. However, D'Lo can shoot >>>>> Zo.

I'll live with his ups and downs. These are inevitable. Zo will never be a great shooter. But once he's "respectable" as a shooter you'll see him take a leap as a player.

A 20 year old rookie is inconsistent?
Wow what an amazing basketball take ...and what a way to go out on a limb!!!
Tatum is inconsistent and hit a wall
DSJr shooting is also inconsistent ...even top rook Mitchell 3 ball comes and goes.
I was one of Russells biggest defenders still like him but Lonzo has potential to a much better all around player...Zo may never shoot as well as Russ tho

Yeah, you are right. I will leave it alone. Best of luck to Lonzo. :toast

Eeeew Zo stinking up Staples right about now. His "shooting" is keeping Denver in the game :lol

[AlexJones]

Lonzo is really good defensively.

[AlexJones]

IT draws Jokic on a switch. Pick up his dribble for no reason. Gives it off to Lonzo who passes it right back to him, basically telling him "you dumbass, go.". IT easy score.

Lonzo will never be good!!

[Killakobe81]

good all around player but his inconsistent outside shooting affecting his drives and his Fts ...
