I have a hard time believing teams are leaving him alone on purpose if he is making roughly 1.17 points/ 3 pt shot.

So two points

#1 I question the stat on the number of contested threes that Lonzo has shot this season.

I mean what do you think is more likely here? State of the art Synergy cameras and Ivy League stat collectors that the entirety of the league relies upon to gather credible information is wrong on just this one guy, or the eye test plus the numbers are in fact correct? That up to this point defenders have largely cheated off Lonzo because he was a non-factor to start the season before getting scorching hot?

I think his passing could help, a dribble penetration game would as well, and hopefully we see more of that too.

But the fact is he is eventually going to see more pressure as teams recalculate their strategy on him. And his numbers will probably come down a bit, and hopefully we get to see some of that readjustment sooner than later to get a feel for what the other side looks like, because we have a big decision to make in the next month.

If he could dribble penetrate and finish at the basket then yeah I'd give him 15 mil easy.

I almost feel like it's a confidence thing

I am just saying 600 shots is a gigantic sample size for people just choosing to leave him open. Now I think everyone, but BI and Zion get left open a lot each game. So if he is getting left open it is not just trying to cheat they have just picked their poison that Zion and BI are unguardable. If that suddenly changes then Zion and BI will feast. So it is good either way.

It is obvious that there is a contingent in this thread have nega-tiger traits and can’t be happy when certain players have success.

I was beyond frustrated with his 3pt shooting along with others like Hart, Redick, and Melli. Lonzo has corrected so over the top that I feel we have to give him some credit until he proves us wrong. It is also promising to see elite success. It means their is potential in a young player. The same thing with that Clippers game with NAW. Some of the performances show there is something there. Preferring consistently mediocre is not better over young players with some inconsistency but have shown out.
