Wgaf?!
I think he still has great potential but said pre draft we should have taken Tatum and despite Spida Mitchell looking like young Dwade... Still prefer Tatum.
Lonzo has a lot to prove but I am in no rush to see him develop now that we have Bron

Now we can allow him time to grow under Bron and Rondo...

There are about 500 or so NBA players (491 on opening day rosters during 2017-2018 season, to be exact). Lonzo is basically in the top 20%. Not bad for a "bust" ;)

Unless we have 50 years of top 2 picks in the nba next year Lonzo is by definition a bust then.

id rather have a PG who’s IQ on defense is very high as well as passing to go along with it. Plus has size and speed to keep up with any PG. his shot will come along. Just because his pops is Lavar doesn’t mean people should discredit his skills and capabilities.

3) Rondo will make Zo have to work his ass off to get his job back
4) LaVar better STFU or Zo might get dealt

I find it really amusing, that according to laker fans, lonzo is somehow going to improve his stroke during this offseason that he isn't able to train.. He's improved so much, he can't even play 5 on 5 yet...

5 on 5 and working on individual drills are completely separate things.
At some point he will need to prove it in a game eventually butyiu can work on a skill and hone it and bring it to 5 on 5 later
And nothing wrong with Lonzo sitting behind Rondo just like Murray sitting behind Frenchy for a bit.

Lakers need to jettison him for something. He's redundant on that team. Also, signing Lebron basically means the Lakers have turned from a "youth movement" team to a "win now" team. There's just no time to develop rookies and prospects when you have Lebron and possibly another star coming next year. The window with Lebron is probably like 3 years.

Dodgers are holding serve. If they quit trying to swing for the moon every pitch and employ proper situational hitting, I like their chances to beat the Brewers. No chance against the Sox on paper, though. That team has zero flaws aside from some shaky pitching. But Price and Kimbrel seemed to have settled down for now, so if they're right, the Sox are basically unbeatable.

Agreed. LaVar is strangely, uncharacteristically, and eerily quiet. What does that tell me? The chance of Lonzo getting dealt is a real and present danger for the Big Baller Brand. Right now 32 year old Rondo is light years better. I can see Lonzo traded for win-now pieces no later than the deadline. They will give him a chance to show improvements (he missed damn near the whole summer delaying surgery - trying not to get traded; didn't work on his game much and it shows). He is not any better at any aspect of his game from his rookie season. That's a problem. I honestly believe his days are numbered and that scares the shit out of LaVar.

Ball has talent but two major red flags. The biggest is his family. What a shit show. The Ball brand has peaked and increasingly people no longer give a shit. The second is that he apparently did fuck-all over the summer to improve. His jump shot is still junk. How is it still junk at this point? At least get the form right, at least show you are putting it in order. He was just a nothing last night. I wouldn't trade for him, but do expect LeBron to get rid of him and Luke Walton both over the season.

JohnnyMax

10-19-2018, 06:35 PM

He came out off the bench mopey, low energy and not interesting engaging at all, just as I expected

We all heard it mic'd up, if LeBron has to tell Lonzo he needs to start attacking then he's in trouble. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/images/smilies/facepalm.gif

It took Bron to set HIM up and Luke encouraging Zo to look to back down the smaller man

He's still playing scared, his first shot bricked and his first layup got swatted like it always does. The result? Hybernation mode, sulking in the corner

Lakers fans finally got small taste seeing real playmakers operate LA's offense with Rondo/Lebron, 100+ pts on all 2 pointers and barely any chemistry LOL.

Now ask yourself, what is Lonzo's purpose on this team? Because coming off the bench with ISO happy players like Beas/Lance is useless and starting the game with floor generals like Rondo/Lebron is counterproductive bc you must be able to shoot efficiently when open.

Then ask yourself, how much diff would this team look if they picked Tatum? http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif

An above avg defender with college transition playmaking abilities won't cut it as a #2 pick.

He has a high BBIQ, and I think I have come to learn that in the NBA players are so talented, skilled and quick anyways, that anticipating plays and having a sense of what the other team is doing is more important than being a freak athlete if that freak athlete looks lost on the court and doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing. Team defense and help, things of that nature end up being really impactful, even if a guy one on one is not an absolute stopper.

Glad that Lonzo is not only shooting better but looking like a difference maker in terms of defensive plays. He's a roleplayer right now though and that's perfectly fine.

He has a high BBIQ, and I think I have come to learn that in the NBA players are so talented, skilled and quick anyways, that anticipating plays and having a sense of what the other team is doing is more important than being a freak athlete if that freak athlete looks lost on the court and doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing. Team defense and help, things of that nature end up being really impactful, even if a guy one on one is not an absolute stopper.

Glad that Lonzo is not only shooting better but looking like a difference maker in terms of defensive plays. He's a roleplayer right now though and that's perfectly fine.

you one of the realest niggas on this sit bro. You post facts and not based off emotion.

not really. It may work in the current state of being dared to shoot, but once people actually try to guard him, that shooting mechanic makes him so easy to block, it's more a coincidence if his shot ever falls...

Interesting Tweet thread:
1055686944594821120The answer: scoring, that's it. Tatum is a better scorer - there, I said it. Lonzo is a better rebounder (despite being 3 inches shorter :lol), passer by a country mile, higher hoops IQ, and a much better defender than Tatum.

Lonzo does it all:
DVpTsi_S0Hg
And for those of you farmers still claiming he can't play with Bron, he's down to 238th NBA wide in usage (165th as a rook) and Bron is 28th.
you should compare lonzo to players with the same talent, guys like malik monk or other shitty players like that.. Tatum, Jarett allen, Donovan Mitchell, Jackson, Fox, Smith are all playing a different game... Even raw guys like Fultz and Isaac are on a completely other level based on their potential.. Lonzo has the ceiling of Darren Collison

You are the Lakers brass and worked out Kyle Kuzma - who blew you away in your private workouts. Even made a promise they would draft him if he cancels workouts with other teams. Knowing you got a potential diamond in the rough in Kuzma, and Lonzo grew up in LA (so they knew him even before he blew up at UCLA), why would they NOT draft Lonzo over Tatum - who is a TAD bit better than Kuzma...maybe. Let's compare the two who play the same positions (a better comparison tbh):

●Kuz: 20.4ppg, 4.4rpg, 1.4apg (TS%: 54.8%, 3PT: 26.7%, FT: 87.5%)

●Tatum: 18.8ppg, 9.6rpg, 2apg, (TS%: 53.6%, 3PT: 27.3%, FT: 90%)

We knew we were getting rid of D'Angelo Russell, so we had to draft a PG. The question was would it have been Fultz, Fox, or Ball.

So my question is, if the Lakers knew what they had in Kuzma and knew what Lonzo could become, would it NOT be better to have them both - at the expense of drafting Tatum? I won't deny Tatum's talent, but I'd rather have both Lonzo and Kuzma instead.

I said this before, the original sin was drafting Julius Randle. Had you guys drafted Zach Lavine instead (which was never in play), you would have drafted Porzingis the year after, while avoiding the Mozgov, Deng debacle. You could have then drafted jaylen brown (granted, by actually making good picks, you wouldn't have been the worst team in the league the last 5 years, but still) and the year after went with tatum, since a sf would be the only thing missing.

Lavine, Brown, Tatum, Lebron, Porzingis.

Now that's something to be excited about.. But you guys were too ignorant, I'm afraid.

Damn. Over last 5 games: 5.2ppg on :lmao.243 shooting. I don't know why the Lakers didn't choose to move him last off season when he had some value. He won't turn it around this season, either. He won't be able to develop playing alongside Lebron. Once the Lakers signed Lebron, they become a "win now" team rather than a youth movement team. Another star or two will sign with them next season, so might as well start selling their youth off for veteran ring chasers to complement the probable Lebron/KD/another star trio. They should probably move Ingram (redundant to KD or Leonard) for a solid a PG.

None. LaVar is gonna blow his money on another JBL type venture. Sad that he doesn't stand up to him. Kinda like Kiwi and Uncle Fester. :lol

Instead of working on his game, he was trying not to get traded after we signed LBJ. He could have surgery the day after the season ended. Could have rehabbed and recovered enough to work on his game the rest of the summer - the times when real players work on their games.

I'm starting to question if he "wants" it (greatness). Fox took another leap with the Queens, why not Lonzo? Ticks me off tbh.

It's pretty obvious at this point that he doesn't belong in the nba. His perceived strong points are below average to average at best for the position, his D is textbook cheating D, his offensive game is extreme levels of bad to the point it will be remembered in history. I mean DBust was atrocious and cancerous, but he wasn't THAT unskilled. At this point I don't think he'd have been drafted in the first round if a redraft was to happen. He's getting outscored by Fultz, mind you. One thing working for him is that the lakers have nobody who can stay in front of point guards, so he kinda has to get minutes by default.. But frankly I think they are ready to give up on him and try something else, perhaps a full time pg job for Hart, but he didn't look good at all on Augustin yesterday.

Exactly what value did he have over the summer anyway? Sure the Lakers should have moved him last summer, but to suggest he still had some value then sounds like a stretch. He had a shitty rookie year, got injured, and his pops was still talking in the media. He has pretty much zero value now, the same value he had over the summer. He sucks. And everyone knew that back in June too.
This. His game just doesn’t fit in today’s NBA and that was very apparent by the end of his rookie year. He’s completely useless without the ball in his hands and he’s not that great when he has the ball either.

It is really baffling that someone who’s dad made had him practicing every day from such a young age has developed such horrific shooting mechanics.

I definitely think Ball has a place in this league. He has good court vision, good size, and can be a good defender. He needs to actually, you know, practice and get better. With that terrible fucking form, it's clear he hasn't bothered.
Maybe ten years ago, he'd be a decent career role player, but not in today's league where shooting is all that matters for guards. He's a waste of a pick and a waste of a roster spot in the current NBA.

Rondo still has a place in the league despite never shooting well. Simmons is still important. Ball can easily develop a shot if he even bothered.

I'm starting to wonder about him mentally he just might be better off with a fresh start elsewhere... he has some good intangibles but needs a floater and better overall handles.Tough to develop on Lakers with Bron and the raised expectations he has maybe three good games all year.. none of them all that impressive...

When I watched Fox drill Longo is that hyped NCAA tourney matchup, it was obvious Fox had a much higher upside. He's just naturally more gifted than Longo. Longo's only "gift" is his court vision, which really isn't important in :lol today's NBA. The reason Kidd/Magic/Etc like court vision doesn't have the same value as it did is because of the spacing modern offenses create, so you don't really need passers who can thread the needle and create baskets for others out of thin air. It still looks nice as a highlight, but it's not something NBA teams covet anymore. Longo might have marginal value as a defender. 3-D guy without the 3.

He never had that LA mentality tbh. I know why Lavar wanted him drafted by the Lakers but anyone with a brain knew that was the worst place for him to be and grow. He just doesnt like the limelight yet he is constantly thrust into it. Ironic that LeBron is saving him right now bc Lonzo is playing horribly yet nobody really cares and you will have some media idiots exclaiming he is playing well. But once the Lakers fall apart for a stretch then you know the media will turn against Lonzo.

Lonzo Ball had a decent game vs. the Mavericks on Friday with 10 points, five steals, four steals, one triple and five turnovers in 28 minutes.
This was his second game of the season with five steals and the fifth of his career. Ball hit 4-of-9 shots and 1-of-2 free throws, and it's a good sign that he was able to play 28 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back since he's coming off an ankle tweak. Ball has been a bust, but has the tools to make a quick turnaround with his counting stat upside. Dec 1 - 1:27 AM

I agree. These niggas always look for any excuse to bash Lonzo but I’m sure more than 80% of the league would choose Lonzo over Dlo. Lonzo passes better defends better and makes more winning plays. Obviously dlo has a better shot but that’s it. Just because some one scores 25 points people act like their a superstar but they don’t see the small things. In today’s nba scoring is exaggerated. Mitchell scores 30 and allows 40 and they praise the shit out of him. This is why I fell in love with kawahi . He’ll drop 25 and lock his man down at the same time .

Not being able to score is a HUGE liability in Todays NBA. Its all about the scoring now. Even Pop said he wouldnt take a Longo trade, because he cant shoot. He said the Spurs need shooters. Todays NBA ............everyone has to score, and I mean everyone.

He is an elite passer, elite rebounder, and an elite defender. His shot will come in due time. When it does, he'll be a complete player.

He is also a willing passer to go along with his extremely low usage rate (ranked 288th). What does that mean? Free agents will want to play with him. Like the Kang. ;)
