In the open floor Lonzo has burst and long strides. He can get from end to end quickly. In this game we saw Lonzo have a quick, low crossover blowing by dudes. At UCLA he was a lob threat on the break and had plenty of powerful dunks.

Why do people want him to be a bad athlete so badly :heh:
He's not a bad athlete, but he can't consistently beat his man off the dribble in the half court. Never has been able to. If you can't do it against college scrubs, how are you gonna do it in the NBA when every team has Corey Brewer or Andre Iguodala types on the wing?

I was just joking about Bryant and Bird, cause Brown was :hhh:
His ball handling is a problem. He's athletic, can finish at the rim and is a much better shooter than he showed, but he can't get to his spots at all in the half court because he flat out can't dribble.

Luckily for him he has court vision. I don't think he'll ever be a number 1 option but 18 & 8 is very doable for him I think.

Fultz will be good. As a nikka who has broke the same ankle 5 times, he'll be good. The ankle actually gets physically stronger but is more susceptible to roll again.

I hate watching Chriss play. Son has no idea how to stick to what he can do.
