Right now it's bust status based on his performances so far. Luckily he's young and has time to build a new shot from the ground up.

don't really get the Kevin Martin comparison either. Martin had one year of averaging 10 fts per game. he could score and he could shoot. wasn't much of a passer at all

The comparison is his shooting form and being extremely passive aggressive.

how can you be passive aggressive while getting to the ft line 10 times a game on average as a guard tho?

you think Kevin Martin wasn't passive aggressive just cause he got to the free-throw line a lot? He was soft as shyt :mjlol:

His ceiling is Kidd.

I think the pressure and expectations have caught up to him and it's weighing him down. The kid is really low key, but he's had Lavar and Magic placing unnecessary burdens on him.

Besides Lavar saying he's already top five DOA, I think the shoe deal/BBB stuff has to be taking a toll. He's gotta feel like he's letting his dad down after they passed (or Lavar conned him into it) on all the guaranteed sneaker money to roll the dice with their own brand. Just utterly absurd and there was no reason to do that. Now, every poor shooting night is gonna depress sales and make people look at BBB as a joke, plus sneaker companies will low ball him in the future if they even offer a contract.

Second, Magic saying in the first presser than Lonzo was the face of the franchise and he's gonna break a bunch of team records...who does that to a 19 year old?

He needs a two week hiatus to Miami like LeBron to clear his head and get away from everything.
look at all the hooplas and excuses and pleas you cop when it's a player that you like :dead:

16-10-7 in his prime

I think he's a 14-8-6 player next season

Yesterday was an aberration...he has played well outside of shooting this seasion
