re: Lonzo Ball is now at 40% from 3. Check in here to eat crow. I am.

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.

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.
