His defense improved so much. And he is attacking with gusto. I hope he continues.

Lonnie has been attacking more and not deferring too much. His defense is also getting better. He's winning me back and I hope he continues.
Yeah I think my biggest issue with Lonnie was the finesse bull he tries to do. When you are 6 foot 4 and can jump out of the building, just throw it down. But I am liking what I see from him. No more deferring, shoot when he feels like it, and attack with authority.
John, this dude and KJ our our real deal talents. I trust they have never been on the block because PATFO sees enough to know they will be wicked in the next 1-2 years.
But with 4-5 minutes left in the game...
Lonnie was pulled out and never used again..
even if you want to give DDR the last shot - Lonnie is a much better offensive player/decoy to have in the game than some of the other trash that pop like to close out games with
spurs lucky that they pulled out that win - but how does lonnie get taken out when he was the best player on the floor thruout the game?
Props to OP John B for calling it two years ago
let me bump this thread 130 times to let everyone know you were right
cause there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that according to offset formation
and nope, im not ing around. Im going to bump this thread so it’s never dead
Too soon. Gotta see what he does this year
Only a matter of time before someone blows a gasket after Walker drops back to back 20pt nights
4 years of meh is NOT too soon.
It’ll take him 38 combined shots, and the men he covers will score 60 points.
He plays for the Lakers now, so he's going to be considered a border-line All-Star if he averages 10 points.
that'll show gambit.
Yep gotta wait till 6 even
Way to completely misunderstand the English language.
Thanks Brodah. I like the guy and continue to root for him.
He’s such a good character in and out of the court, the community, that it’s hard not to root for him.
Any other situation, I’d think Spurs would’ve kept because they had worst.
I know Showtime Lakers will use his highlights to sell tickets at the least. But I hope he can still elevate his game. He was injured somewhat. I hope next season he really ball.
Other than his rookie year, he was never injured. Liked him as a person, but couldn’t stand his weak, timid game, and awful defense.
Atrocious defense. Just atrocious. I tried really hard at the end to give him the benefit of the doubt his scoring efficiency could offset his defensive liabilities, but that is all it was...wishful (hopeful) thinking. He'll have splash games that will get the fans on their feet and buzz about him, but in the end, he'll return to the mean of his abilities/efforts.
Think it's other way around. I meant yep as in yes 4 years is too soon n that u can't count em out till year 6 so I'll even give him one more year
It’s not the other way around. When you’re disagreeing with someone, you don’t start with Yep, you start with Nope. Pretty simple.
and possibly because, should that happen, some dumb ass on ESPN will go off and what a steal getting Lonnie turned out to be for the lakers.
I know Spurs motion offense and plays are relatively harder to learn as it historically takes a vet a year to get acclimated, and Lonnie’s bball iq seems not the highest. But sometimes it takes longer for some. I’m hoping it will click for him this year.
