If he's running point, is this bad?

Yes, if you're coming off a pick and basically refuse to shoot when you're going right it limits what you can do, teams will play him for the drive knowing he doesn't like to shoot going to his right.

If he's running point, is this bad?

Yes.

Think about it spatially:

You have the ball in your right hand, moving to the right,

To shoot you must either:
cross to the left hand, essentially going back the direction you just came, allowing a defender who went over the screen ample time to get back into the play.

OR

Bring the ball across the body, going in the opposite direction of momentum, and shoot blindly as the arm and ball cross the face in order to get the ball to the release point and once it's there, don't overcompensate to the right while his body turns counterclockwise wise to square up his upper body to the basket

Fox vs. Ball pt. 2

Future Sixers vs. Celtics PG matchup

 

[UserNameless]

I give it 4

I think next season will determine whether it's closer to 2 or 4.

Get Lonzo to Boston, have Tommy Heinsohn & Lavar on commentary

dude may or may not have to break down his jumpshot on some steph curry shyt ..but he's come this far....probably too late to break that habit
also while his release winds up above his head at the point of release...he'd be extremely susceptible to getting ripped with longer more athletic defenders sticking a hand in there...cause his motion is predictable...while its fast...cause he always brings the ball left and shoots while going left.

i think lonzo will be fine, as long as hes a good 3 point shooter hes good with the way the league is today.

Totally agree. If he's going to rebuild it, it's better to start as soon as possible tho

Remember a few years ago when they tried to rename this event March Mayhem for some unknown reason?

has lonzo ever taken a shot going to his right?
ive watched about 8 ucla games...i cant recall a time he's drifted right and taken a shot...i mean thats most right handed shooters...but with the great shooters it doesnt matter
all his shots are to the left and a stepback shading his left
next level they're just gonna push him right on every pick and roll cause they know all he'll do is pass in that situation...if the lane isnt clear

Just appreciate the beauty UCLA. They're a fun team to watch
