Impressive segment and impressive player but...

It seems this essentially means if NBA defenders really are different than college, he's going to feel game to game pressure like he's never felt before.

He may turn into a one dimensional spot up shooter or a 3 and D guy.

I hope he does translate well into the NBA, though.



but hes an great passer with amazing court vision :yeshrug:

Because the ball travels from the left side of his head, His pull-up mechanics are literally broken, especially mid-range going to his right. If you watched him in college you'd know he literally never pulls up going right. He just refuses to take the shot because mechanically it's pretty much a guaranteed brick. If you watch Lonzo's "moving shots," they look a lot like his set shots. That is, he'll usually do a step back then set his feet. He rarely takes a "true" pull up going forward. NBA scouts will pick up on this and feast on him defensively. I like his game but it's a much bigger deal than y'all are making it out to be. He's not athletic enough to command the kind of sag from NBA defenders that will give him time to get that jank ass jumper going.



what about him playing off guard with a combo guard like russ on the lakers? he can be a 3 and d guy with elite passing skills in the open floor :ehh:

To me this would be his best bet. He should go the Ginobli route and be a non-primary ball handler with elite passing ability. Because with that broke J he simply cannot be the primary ball handler/scorer on a team.

i agree i think he could still be a star with his passing instincts and his ability to hit 3s so you cant just leave him.


At worst a solid starter, at 6-6 he can guard both 1s and 2s as he gets stronger with age.

Shot release is horrible but he's gotta bulk up. He's not gonna survive at that weight in the L

When folks gonna realize there is no right or wrong way to shot, there is only effective and ineffective.
