Only JJ took more threes per game than Lonzo, and only JJ and Ingram made more threes per game. I think not being the main ball handler will help Lonzo grow his game. Remember, it’s not like Lonzo is 26 and his game is set. Let Lonzo continue to grow. If you say you expected Ingram to be as good as he was last year, you’re lying. Let Lonzo grow too. See what he gives in a year where he has to be good to stay on this team.

I sometimes think people are entirely too hard on Lonzo. Last year was his first year in Gentry’s high flying offense with a bunch of new player on an already high turnover team. Lonzo improved his shooting. He’s still can fill up the stat sheet with assist, points, and rebounds. Let’s give a young player more than one year to get familiar with a new team.

I’m with you, I think you made a solid post my friend. I like lonzo, I would just like to see him progress a little more and stay a part of this team at the right price.

I think the concerns about his future salary are very valid and it's unlikely he's a fit with the Pels long term. As for criticisms of his game, think about how long it took people to forgive Jrue for not being a true floor general. Once people accepted Jrue wasn't a PG they started viewing him much differently.

Actually a good bit of Pels expected Ingram to do exactly what he did. Based on his high draft pick, his work ethic and more importantly, what he was able to show with the Lakers, after Bron was hurt and Ingram was the point forward-- post All Star Break.

Ingram was the centerpiece of that trade just like Tatum would have been. I fully expected Ingram to be an All-Star caliber player, LAST YEAR.
