When a pg doesn't score, can't shoot, but has 10 assists...

[Swagnificent]

Actually the hardest thing to do is play defense because even if you’re good at it, you’re only noticed when you fukk up. You can drop 20 a night and still be wack

That's fair.

Scoring and defense are the two hardest things in basketball.

Assists are the easiest.

This is like criticizing a pocket qb for his lack of rush yards. PGs main job is to run the offense and get assists. He's 19, everything bad now will get better.

If you wanna put it in football terms a better analogy would be that lonzo is a game manager doesn't nothing well but keeps passing the rock so others can make plays. Most of his passes are basic, rubio had way better vision coming into the league.

 

[BrehWyatt]

The day his shot starts falling consistently, it's over.

 

[Trojan 24]

We not even 10 games into the season bruhs

I'm not sure that's true, but even if it was...Rubio came into the NBA at 21 (Lonzo is 19) and Rubio was playing with grown men since he was 15 in Europe.

Whatever shortcomings Lonzo has, I think you can cut him some slack....4 games into his NBA career.

Lonzo isn't doing shyt offensively right now. Instead of running the PnR the whole way through he's swinging early and hes not generating any kind of quality offense in the half court.

However he's doing all the dirty work. Don't know if you want your #2 pick to be a energy guy but then again it's game 4/82. We'll see wassup by April.

18 year old Olympic rubio had better vision than lonzo breh. I'm not tryna bash the kid I'm just being real 90% of his assists are from basic plays where the other guy just shoots. No pick and roll playmaking, no beating your guy off the dribble and find a corner shooter or a slasher. He dribbles the ball past half court and quickly passes it if the guy shoots and scores we pretend like lonzo created the opportunity. Than if he gets the ball hell just quickly pass it again, no creating off the dribble or running the pick and roll all the way just basic push the ball up the floor passes. Nash could at least run pick and rolls along side just pushing the ball up lonzo can't.

Every team will get at least 20 assists per game. If Clarkson, Ingram, Randle, Kuzma wanna just put up shots somebody's gotta get a high assist total and that's lonzo right now. nikka is strictly playing the numbers game.

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

Assists are the weakest stat in basketball. Its totally dependent on what someone else does.

There is a reason scoring is the hardest thing to do in basketball. Its all on you.

As Jay-Z said, I respect the shooter.

U sound like u never played ball
Setting up a teammate is not easy

U exposing yourself

Lonzo always with the crisp pass on target
Pretty remarkable for a damn 19year old
His composure is amazing

Just needs more confidence and he can easily score 20..even average triple double

One of the best passers to ever grace the hardwood.

All before he blew out his knee at 28 years old, clearly on a HoF pace. Also, one of the best playoff performers of his generation, practically averaged a triple double in the '09 Playoffs when KG was injured, averaged 17/7/12 and eviscerated the Big 3 Miami Heat. Even a washed Rondo on Chicago was leading the Bulls to wins in the playoffs.




If Lonzo turns out to be a Rondo-type with the ability to hit threes with range and finish above the rim in transition like he showed at UCLA, we got ourselves a hell of a PG.

 

[KingJay]

A PG’s job is to run the offense and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Lonzo is doing that fairly well right now.

No he's not I'm rooting for Zo, but the Lakers are significantly better on offense with him off the floor

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

When your father is saying you're better than MVP and All Star guards, I don't expect to see just a facilitator.

 

[Larry Lambo]

11, 9, and 9 is not bad for a first 4 games as a 19 year old.

But he's got to improve his shooting/scoring.

 

[Spliff]

That's just letting me know his teammates helped make his stats for from to .


What the media is doing with Lonzo Ball right now is exact same thing they did with Reggie Bush. They ignored his weak rushing totals and focused on his "touches" and all purpose yards.


It's seems like assists only get pointed out and highlighted when certain players do it.

His decoy yards tho.

His numbers are fine being this early, but he's only getting this scrutiny because of his dad.

So Jason Kidds teammates helped make his stats throughout his career?
