Zo is far worse off ball therefore he’d likely fit less systems as a starter. He’s a better floor general but DLo has gotten a lot better at that in his own right. There’s mountains and crevasses separating them as scorers. Easily the biggest discrepancy between the two
No. Zo fits better in offenses because he doesnt need the ball in his hands all the time. All DLo is, is a scorer. Thats it. And I didnt even want the Lakers to trade him so Im not downing him. But he is what he is. A scorer. Thats it. And he needs the ball to do so...
And just as big as the discrepancy in scoring is there, so is the discrepancy in defense.
Scoring is the most important part of the game. And Lonzo is so bad at scoring that it hurts his team. The nikka better get rebounds and assists if he's gonna shoot like Dwight Howard at the free throw line.
Theres more to the game than scoring. Theres rebounding, assisting, defense etc... Lonzo is better than Russell at everything else so if he gets his shooting down, and I believe he will, he's the better player. Plus the way he carries himself is better as Russell carries himself as a superstar while not having the consistency of one...
