Let's be real the Lonzo Hype is already dead

[10bandz]

He gonna hate his dad when all is said and done.

yeah we know yall really hoping Lonzo publicly denounces his dad on some "he ruined my career" shyt.....pathetic

 

[Draje]

they billed this dude as the next jason kid/magic johnson WHO WERE SCORERS.

he's averaging 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists a game

those are solid numbers

but this isn't the elite level of gameplay I was expecting

You said Jason Kidd was a scorer here and when shown that Ball has better numbers, you did some circular logic Bullshyt.

go back and read what i said - and then slap your 3rd grade teacher for fukking you up for life

i specifically said SCORING. jason kidd was seen as a triple threat point guard; he'd drop 10-15 on you every night

(you gotta give these new nikkas articles because they think you just made some shyt up

http://nypost.com/2006/12/10/kidd-presents-a-triple-threat/

lonzo ball is a triple threat!?!
lonzo ball will drop at LEAST 15 on you every night?

even in kidds first 6 games he dropped more points than Ball has.

Ball will get better, but as of now he's NOT EVEN JASON KIDD.

you stupid muthafukka.

You said Kidd dropped more points in his first 6 games but he hasn't. You're also using articles from when Kidd had already been deep in the NBA. What the fukk are you even saying anymore?

Kidd's first 6 games at age 21:

9.3 PPG, 7.5 REB, 6.5 AST, .306 FG%

Ball's first 6 games at age 19/20:

10.0 PPG, 7.5 REB, 7.5 AST, .311 FG%

Exactly


I ain't even a Lonzo fan like that but that nikka will be a great pg for a very long time, period. Ben already looks like the future of the NBA, BUT YOU GOT INTERNET nikkaS HATING ON BOTH THESE GREAT PG'S smh.

 

[DGodRussell]

Lonzo is looking like a really good PG right now

But he’s not looking like one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game

He's not even looking like a really good PG. The nikka looks like pure garbage. Worst player in the rotation by far

 

[cobra]

so he'll be good when LeBron joins the Lakers next year?

Put lonzo on the cavs this year and they beat the warriors

You said Jason Kidd was a scorer here and when shown that Ball has better numbers, you did some

I said jason kidd - I didn’t say jason kidd as a rookie ,that’s some shyt that YOU cats brought up <<< I’m lying about this?

Jason kidd was a scorer in his prime - he would give you roughly about 15 points a night, he almost averaged 20 points a game one season

Again. Lonzo was billed as a ready made superstar, not as someone who needed time to develop so I’m comparing him to PRIME jason Kidd.

Oh ? Then tell his hype machine to tone it down - I’m not witnessing greatness yet.

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

Lavar got you nikkas pressed!!!

I gave a sensible reply. No one is pressed.

But I expect no less from retards like you.

 

[Serious]

So can we atleast get my dawg Kendall Marshall back in the NBA then if we going to do the wait and see approach with Lonzo game. Marshall was a way better passer than Lonzo. But he didn’t have that new age hype or was he part of the PG rebound offenses

Plus the Lakers are all in on Lonzo. Most rookies in the NBA doesn’t have that luxury.

Look at these basic passes smh. He’s not even braking down the defense smh.

these reactionary threads need to stop. The kid is 20, in his rookie year. If you can't see the potential Idk what to say.

 

[Malta]

Jason Kidd didn't have a jumpshot either.

Lonzo wasn't expected to be a poor shooter, a big part of why he was drafted is because he shot 41% from three in college.


Nobody thought he'd be a big time scorer, but the shot needs to fall for him to realize his potential.

 

[Serious]

Kendall got Taylor, I have no sympathy in my heart for him


I think Lonzo has the potential to be a top PG, but you can't look at him like traditional PGs, he's a modern PG that will probably be at his best in a 5 out motion offense similar to the Warriors where he's on the ball sometimes using high screens. While other times he's cutting to the rim without the ball with his goal of getting the defender in the corner to take a step away from his man so he can skip a pass there.

He's not the traditional PG like CP3 types, he's the type that grew up watching Curry pass it off and function off the ball like an SG at times. That's also why I think getting rid of D'Angelo was such a stupid decision, he needs another ball handler to play off of, which is probably what they want from Ingram long term but this year D'Angelo would have helped Lonzo out a lot.

KCP was a bad signing

Nah man, his rebound and assists numbers are legit

All of them #BBB no losses threads we had to endure for the past 8months and all the hype around Lonzo. I think reactionary threads on lonzo are fair game.

Ain’t nobody shytting on Malik Monk for his poor start because wasn’t nobody gassing up Malik Monk in threads all summer.


Yea he might be turn into a good PG but a passfirst PG ain't turning around no franchise without the right pieces around him

 

[Sccit]

Outside of the Suns game where literally no one played defense the entire game, his scoring numbers are:

3 points on 1-6 shooting
8 points on 3-13 shooting
6 points on 2-11 shooting
5 points on 2-7 shooting

His passing is strong but not special (good vision for his age but I'm not calling him a prodigy yet) and the rebounding is a ridiculous narrative because he's doing virtually nothing to get them.

Comparing this shyt to Linsanity makes no sense. He has hype because of his dad. I'm all a fan of letting him play and giving him time, but the fact that he is getting hype for his play NOW is ridiculous.

SHUT THE FUCC UP
