Which is not that bad by any means, but it's also such a low sample size I'm not sure you can do much with it. Common sense would tell you though that as defenses adjust, his percentages would fall somewhat.



Common sense also tells you a pass first player, which Lonzo is, will adjust to adjustments and find the open man.

Lonzo, as noted, went from shooting from the left side of his body to the right in less than 2 seasons here, without any healthy real off season.

Had he been with Vinson from jump, he might have a floater by now.

In short, we should get something in return for transforming his game if we don’t believe in him.

And that could explain a bit, but I don't exactly see Lonzo passing up many three attempts do you?

And I don't really see Lonzo getting tightly shaded by defenders do you?

I think when the numbers and the eye test line up it's a pretty good indicator.

And like I said, 35% is not bad at all. And it's up a bit this year. Still, I would expect it to drop if defenses started making it a defensive priority.

And if defenses do adjust, that is where it will become critical for him to develop that drive game IMO.
