Crazy how dudes talking about a rookie like this is his final form. I think he has a ton of up side. I think we'll be revisiting this thread in 3yrs.

Basketball ain't like other sports, either you dat nikka or you ain't. Nothing about Lonzo screams Kobe, MJ, Durant, Wade, hell even Lebron level talent. He lookin' more like Devin Harris/Mario Chalmers



Kobe scorin' 36 points in the summer league and sh*t at 18 years old. :mjgrin:

Word?? What I remember his first summer league dude was getting locked up by scrubs

Just from 2015 highlights, rookie D'tective looks better than Lonzo in everything but passing. DLo shot better off the dribble and from beyond the arc. He had more effective hesitation moves and finished better in the lane. He could steal too. That said DLo looks look very slow and doesn't seem to get faster as he runs. I think Lonzo is faster than DLo but that's only because DLo FLo is very slow for a PG not because Lonzo is fast.

I'm still a DLO stan and I haven't seen him do what Lonzo did yesterday or show that kind of potential. DLO was getting locked up by fukking bum ass TJ McConnell both summer leagues. Stop it. Lonzo makes guys better. DLO didn't. It's simple. Lonzo is gonna be responsible for massive contracts.

Lonzo gets locked up too. I agree he makes players better through passing but if he can't shoot, finish at the rim or play elite D, I don't know how much he can help the Lakers. Russell can make his own shot at times; Lonzo can't.

Lonzo can't shoot?

Based off 2 games?

If we took a sample size of 2 games, we would conclude that every player in the NBA(including Steph Curry) can't shoot.

We'll see I guess, but the fact teams were sagging off Lonzo and letting him shoot because they knew he would miss is a bad sign.

They weren't necessarily sagging off. Lonzo was just shooting from way behind the line. I highly doubt the gameplan was to sag off on a 41% shooter in college on 5.4 3PA.

How many point guards you named? When so lost in these combo guards that we forgot how traditional point guard plays. Lonzo is pg, not a score first combo guard.

D.Rose looked bad in summer league. Yet he's the youngest MVP of all time.
