And so it begins....

not just that, you the 2nd pick in the NBA draft and you going to the G-league, hell naw. you know how much time and money was wasted on you just to send you down a notch, and even that isn't guaranteed he'd pan out there also. G League is reserved for 2nd round/undrafted players
naw, ratings wise it would be great to see LaVar pissed off at the game, but from the LAL standpoint it makes zero sense.

He may be one day, but no he's not currently. Nor does he appear to be on track to become that.

Time to go!!
That's why I don't get why he was so disrespectfully nonchalant when the Lakers set up that meeting with him and Kobe.
Lonzo doesn't even look like he cares
How many times is he going to bring up the ball and pass it, and run to the corner
fukk it I can do that

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
The difference is there was tell tale signs of things you know Ingram would be able to do “IF...” yada yada yada. Basically seeds for improvement. There’s not a lot of feasible signs of improvement for Ball right now. He has never had a developed game outside of breakaway dunks and stepback Js. He wasn’t a good finisher then and basically can’t finish with a breath of contesting air going against him now. There’s not a spot on the court that you can point to and say he’ll feast there, even with more weight. At some point the issue stems from the fact he has no skill set. He’s a lot like a MCW in terms of scoring ability
I think Thabeet got sent to the d league but that was the year after he got drafted.No way you sending a #2 pick to the developmental league
naw he went to the G-League 7 years after he got drafted. I forgot about him, and he still sucks
Well I stand corrected, Lonzo going isn't too farfetched

Except MCW shot 40% FG and 31% 3PT for his collegiate career (2 years)
Ball shot 55% FG and 41% 3PT
So theres time for adjustments and improvement for ball.
He needs to re-adjust his muscle memory on his shot to compensate for the distance differential of the NBA 3pt from the college 3 pt
Idk if he should come off the bench because this nikka Clarkson doesn't promote ball movement at all. Maybe if we signed someone like Deron Williams or something then we can bring Zo off the bench. Nonetheless, even if he starts he's averaging like 33 mpg right now....that needs to be reduced to like 25-27. Some games he looks mad comfy out there and other games he looks shook as fukk. And no confidence in his shot. Take a little pressure off him for now and ramp it back up for the 2nd half of the season. I mean shyt Clarkson himself was a way different player the 2nd half of his rookie season vs the 1st half
Analysis | Kyle Kuzma, not Lonzo Ball, is the future of the Lakers
Coli brehs already knew. Now the media picking up on it...
They calling to send Lonzo to the G League now
shyt is obvious... Magic need to go ahead and admit he made a mistake, I know it’s only 20 games in but at some point he going to have to address that
real talk, bad publicity is better than no publicity. Best believe people are tuning into watch lonzo play, whether good or bad...
Alot of young players can't shoot but I'm really surprised at him missing layups and not getting to the line. The Lakers bought into the Lavar hype and made gave Lonzo the keys to the franchise and made him the center of their marketing and promo champagne.Even if he learns the game eventually and fixes that monstrosity of a jumper, is something like 14 ppg 7apg 6rpg with mediocre shooting percentages and average defense (and I'm being generous with his ceiling here) really worth the #2 pick in a stacked draft?
Here's a thought, treat him like an actual rookie. Bring him off the bench and earn his way up. Get his confidence up and try to ensure his success and if he still doesn't show promise then you start to worry about his future.
