It was well known that Lonzo would need a period to adjust to the NBA 3 pt line and learn PnR:dwillhuh:

We are only 5 games in and it is not unusual for young guards to take YEARS to adjust to the NBA 3 pt line

Go look at Donovan Mitchell, Malik Monk, Frank Nitty or Fultz's percentages and get back to me about Ball.

That said, LWO been obnoxious about the nikka and even though I had him #2 on my draft board, its fukk that Michael Carter Williams ass nikka :camby:


Naw dude was hyped to the moon and his dad wont help his growth.

His dad adding more pressure to him to perform than he needs right now. Let his coaches do that.

Dude will probably quit out of frustration trying to live up to his dads expectations

I personally wasn't staying up for Laker games regardless. I'm a Knick fan; there's only so much garbage I can watch while maintaining my sanity:manny: I also could care less about Lavar and what he had to say. It's a very young season, but no rookie is currently living up to the standard that would be necessary to validate Lavar's antics to some people. I'll catch some of Lonzo's nationally televised games, but I'm really not pressed about "hype".
We excluding Simmons?

Marshall had lead in his shoes even before he tore his ACL.


Lonzo's potential is really dependent on his jumpshot, in addition to his height and vision his 3 point shot was the big selling point. Right now, his shot isn't falling so offensively he's been really limited, he needs the threat of his shot to open up the rest of his game.
Jason Kidd didn't have a jumpshot either.

Lonzo gonna end up snappin on Lavar and choking him out one night for all the pressure he puts on him. He looks exactly like one of the Menendez bros too

Donovan Mitchell > LONZO. It's crazy how some rookies are putting up good numbers and getting zero hype.

Breh is a pass first point guard on a really bad team.....once he gets some better players that draw the defence away from him, he'll get better shots and his shooting percentage will go up
