And that's fine but you can't disregard how young he is as well. Ball transforming his shot in less than 2 years while having that funky form all his life is already extremely impressive by itself . He's still very early in new form. To say that he can't continue to get better shooting even with tight coverage overtime is disingenuous. The way his progression has gone since he's been here has to be respected at the very least. People are way to quick to throw rocks at him and overlook the things he's done. There's so much basketball left in this season and I'm not going to sit there and preach how limited he is or how unsustainable his shot is. I'm going to continue to evaluate him as the season progresses and if he continues to show consistency, there no reason why the Pelicans would let him walk. Way too much speculation on how much he wants. No one know for a fact outside of the front office right now.

No one is saying that though, but to just assume X or Y is going to get better, is to come at this discussion on paying Lonzo based on potential and not performance. I am in a camp that wants to see more before I'm willing to do that, specifically from the areas he hasn't shown much improvement, like his driving and half-court offense and facilitation, and would also like to see his efficiency after defenses adjust, before signing on with some of the people that are all in on paying on potential, let alone that think 20 million+ is a no brainer.

Not going to lie, alonzo has impressed me more recently.

I agree that he just stands at the 3 point line and isn't contested like other shooters
