This nikka Lonzo Ball isn't even good enough to hate

[Malta]

can someone effectively change their shot this late in the game? (not really late late) but
i know itll probably be hard than a mafukka to change up how you been doing some shyt for so long.
i remember Anthony Mason with them ridiculous freethrow shots
changed up his form the way he changed up the designs cut into his hair!

He can change his shot over time as long as he puts in the work, his problem is that he cannot go to his right and shoot off the bounce effectively. His first shot attempt last night was actually an off the dribble shot going to his right and it didn't look that bad, no hitch or anything, but the 2nd shot he took going to his right was so slow and it got blocked because he had to pause and start the windup to bring the ball up across his face.


The guy most people don't know that changed his shot is Curry, he used to have a slower release that was up higher above his head. He since turned it into a 1 motion shot that is basically starting it's flight out the second it gets to eye level.

He’s not going to be a bust, but he has a lot of suburban kid in him. Low motor, takes the easy way out

 

[The G.O.D II]

I’m not going to completely shyt on the kid. He’s 19 still and only played 8 games. He’s playing with fukking garbage and Walton is very overrated. What system is he running? Look at Russell. Dude plays in a free flowing offense where everyone is shooting. Ball would eat playing for someone like Atkison

 

[The God Poster]

He was always going to struggle out the gate because he didn't run much PnR at UCLA. And even though there's a ton of red flags with his play, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as it's early, and he just turned 20. Most of his shyt can be fixed in due time, but one thing that can't be is aggressiveness.

If they don't bite as puppies, they usually don't bite. Word to Thibs.

This is one thing DLO excelled at...Never had to tell him to shoot. There were the Curry comparisons but Steph was always aggressive.

Obviously we wouldd benefit having someone carry the Scoring load. It doesn't help when we aren't running an actual offense. Too many times I've seen standing around iso with zero ball/player movement.

Luke gotta do something....it feel like he'd rather run the triangle than the GS offense as he was hired to do.

The amount of upping ima do to y'all bytch nikkas

Wait til 3 years later to finally say "I told you so" brehs.

OP always get at nikkaz in their teenage years

 

[Flykid567]

Lonzos only 18 lonzos not a scoring point guard, lonzos needs to get bigger, lonzos light skin, lonzos Afro affecting his shot, lonzos playing with trash, lonzos just a rookie, lonzos needs time to adjust.

Shiiiiii wasn't this nikka better than steph curry last march ???

 

[big bun]

Where’s LaVar to speak on this? I’ll wait...

 

[Creflo ½ Dollar]

Everyone was saying this before the draft and got labeled haters once it looked like the Lakers were going to take him you couldn't offer up any type of criticism even if you liked his game.

Going to his right, he basically can't shoot off the dribble -

Players are going to be going under his screen all day and if he can’t make them pay its going to be a long season on the offensive end. Combine that with his sub-par athleticism for the PG position and decent explosiveness AT BEST it’s going to be hard sledding if that shot/shot setup dnt come together.

How have they been defending Lonzo on the P&R???

 

[Raw Lyrics]

It's still early and Lonzo might turn it around, but I just don't see what the hype was all about. And for all the Jason Kidd comparison the NBA has change compared to when Kidd came in to the league.

Jason Kidd would be Jason Kidd in any era. He'd obviously just have to practice his 3 point shot to adapt to today's game.

I never thought I would be able to say dude's jumper looks worse than Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

i was thinking about him and thought i might have confused him with someone else. but youre right, he did change his shot up a lil.
Ball kid shot is so funky lookin tho.
he gonna have to put in maximum effort if they even think about wanting to change up his form!

 

[Hypris]

I still can't believe Lonzo felt comfortable enough to shoot 27 shots against the Suns. It just shows how horrible Earl Watson was as a coach.

thats that dedication right there tho!
