I feel like Lonzo can be an elite defender. When he plays really good defense is when the team does great. He rubs off on the team energy the most imo. Sadly our team energy isn’t high level.

I think people undervalue his defense personally.
At the same time, he's not your ideal first option defender of an opposing team's best player. But that is how he was used last season. Statistically him and Dort drew the toughest assignments in the league last season, and Lonzo just isn't good enough to justify it.
But the rub is, because Lonzo can't be your half court PG, that means if you have a Lonzo, you need one. And if you also need that other person to be the better defender, you basically have Brogdon, Jrue, and Haliburton to chose from as guards, PG, Kawhi, Lebron as forwards. And one asked out and the rest aren't realistically available.
....Of course a lot of that COULD change if Zion/Bi can become just average defenders.

I feel like he could be to with his skill sets, but i also am about 99% sure he never will be. Being an elite defender is more mental than it is physical. Jrue is elite b/c he sees the picks and gets around them effectively. Lonzo is the worst player i've seen in a long time at getting around picks. Either he simply doesn't give a shite to try to get around them, and/or he's too stupid to know how to do it.
what he should be doing is harassing the other teams PG the second they get the ball, a lot like what TJ McConnell did to him and made him look like a high school kid.
