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

I’m really gonna need someone to eventually walk me through how they think being able to shoot overwhelmingly wide open threes, defend guards above average, and hopefully one day successfully learning to attack and drive to the basket better than Brad Wanamaker and Dwayne Bacon turns Lonzo Ball not just into a more valuable player than Draymond Green, Jaylen Brown, Malcolm Brogdon, Nikola Vucevic, and Jrue Holiday, but a max player?

It’s not like people are asking Lonzo to be James Harden, Luka, or Trae driving to the hoop, just not literally the least efficient driving scorer last year and in the bottom 5 this year of players that played a majority of games and drive the ball 4 times per game.

Kira has barely played, is severely undersized weight wise, and scores the ball more efficiently and with less turnovers than Lonzo. That to me is frankly insane. That a 6’6 guard with a 6’9 wingspan is a worse scorer driving to the basket than 32 year old 6’0 Ish Smith and an undersized rookie.
