A shy Michael Carter Williams is the best comparison to me. Both tall PGs who do work on the glass and has the occasional ā€triple doubleā€ because they were handed the keys but soon as you reduce their usage their basically a 3rd string point guard. Basically if you let them run the offense they will have some good games stat wise but that’s about it. Lonzo might have 5 more triple doubles but that really doesn’t mean too much in today’s NBA. Is James harden considered a good rebounder because he gets the occasional triple double.

Neither one could shoot but MCW defense is better.

I dnt think Lonzo shot will get better..Adam Morrison was a good shooter in college but he never shot good in the NBA. There has been plenty good college shooters that doesn’t translate.

So that excuse is about to run out sooner or later.

Lonzo just don't got that mamba mentality. He'll only be good as the players around him until he changes his attitude. But it already seems like the rest of the laker players realize they're better than him and they don't even really "need" him so..... he's just another pass first PG to say the least.

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.
