re: Lonzo Starting

I think the problem we will run into if Lonzo can not become a consistent three point shooter(or by some miracle, Bledsoe) is that in a vacuum each player is fine, solid defenders, can move the ball and occasionally hit jumpers and get to the rim.
But paired together and their high variance runs the risk much more than pairing either with a more consistent 3 and D guard of having nights like this where they go 4 for 18 combined and we are essentially playing 2 on 5 with Ingram and Zion. We need guys that when Zion and Ingram are getting swarmed, or when Adam’s sets a hard screen for Ingram and the defense sells out to close out on Ingram and Zion, that our two starting guards can make them pay.

Need to get Adams more involved on pick and rolls as well. Dude is a good scorer, we just haven’t asked him to do much of that yet

Honestly I think I'd prefer to see Lonzo and JJ as our starting guards and let Bledsoe run the "second team".
But it's still early so I'm willing to be patient and see how things go in these first 10 games.
But I like what Lonzo is doing. I like how he plays with the starters a lot more than what Bledsoe is doing, so I don't think it's Lonzo who should be going to the bench.
