Very efficient game from Lonzo, for you stat nerds that like to move goalposts

He's not white enough. My condolences bruh.Knicks making the conference finals next year with Zo
Rose on the bench killing second units
if only my bum ass mavs could get him![]()
He's an inconsistent shooter with bad form. His shot doesn't look the same every time. His balance doesn't look the same every time. I don't know if he's ever going to legit turn that corner as a shooter.
And he doesn't finish well in the paint.
He's a good passer/rebounder/defender though. But not worth the bag imo![]()

Shooting isn’t an issue for him he’s one of the best C&S players in the league this year.
He’s improved his step back and has even thrown a one footer into his arsenal. He’s much better from the line near 80%.
When we talk about Lonzo and his weaknesses shooting shouldn’t even come up anymore. Instead talk about his weak rim pressure.
That’s not his shooting. His FG% is low because he’s a high volume three point shooter with weak rim pressure (lacking attempts at the rim) and short range efficiency (floater range, 3-10 feet).His shooting still is a weakness as even with his improved shot, he's still shooting 41.6% overall on the season. That isn't going to cut it as the lead guard of your team.
For the record, 3 pt shooting wasn't his biggest issue.

His actual shooting has been good.
40% from 10-16 feet
40% from 16 feet to the three point line
38% from 3PT line on 9.4 attempts per 36 minutes
80% FT shooter
He’s 40% on 6 C&S jumpers a game...
His issue isn’t shooting. His slashing and FT attempts can improve as long as he plays with consistent aggression and takes more shots as he has recently. As long as he continues to put in work in the weight room. Also, with coaching being used cutting to the basket on pin downs and attacking down hill on ball screens and transition. I’ve recently seen him learning how to use Zion gravity to sneak in for lay-ups.

He's shooting 38% on over 8 attempts per game. I'd say that's turning the corner. That isn't the problem with his game anymore. It's what he does when that 3 isn't dropping that is problematic. He needs to work on finishing inside and drawing fouls so that his scoring isn't so inconsistent on a game to game basis. I wouldn't max him out at this point but if I could get him for around 15 I'd jump all over it.He's an inconsistent shooter with bad form. His shot doesn't look the same every time.
