re: Anyone still want to talk shite about Lonzo?

That's silly, tons of NBA players enter the league without having some part of their game perfected. He's still on his rookie contract, he's improved his shot mechanics and increased his confidence. It's not already written in stone that he'll be shooting 50% from the line for his career.

My concern with Lonzo is, is he good enough to be your #3 if they manage to take Zion and Ingram away in the playoffs? Currently he isn't. If he's not good enough to be your #3, will he be cheap enough to be your #4?
Fortunately we have another year to evaluate him and he should continue to improve in that time which will maintain or improve his trade value.

Your observation sucks because that's not even what JJ was talking about.

1. Health issue.
2. One dimensional.
Years to evaluate.
Id still rather have clarke than hayes.
Ingram a pleasant surprise.
Blood clot gamble.
I stand by my choice.
Id rather have healthy tatum.
Name calling doesnt change reality.

So Lonzo missed 3 FTs in a row? Big deal. FTs can be improved easily. He focused his 3 pt shot this offseason and looks a lot better with it. Next should be his FT%. He can do it
If it was so easy, he would have done it already. So many players hampered by their FT shot would have done it.
Brandon Ingram is actually a major outlier in terms of a guy that produced a 20% increase to his FT shot percentage.
Which is essentially what Lonzo will need if he wants to be a guy you can have out on the floor in crunch time in a 7 game series. And that would only get him to a barely tolerable 70%.

Based on you not listening to an interview and then spinning your assumption. Why do that

ball was just mediocre in college. 67.3%
Dropped 20% in nba.
Wtf is that about?

We bank on BI and Zion being our 2 stars
I think they’ll both be our stars for a while but I think, unless you have crazy good depth, you’ll need at least one other star to compete for championships.

so did anyone notice that the Clippers were guarding Lonzo with Patterson for most of the 4th?
Lonzo has been playing really good, but I can’t see him being able to play effectively in a playoff series. He needs to be the 4th or 5th option in any lineup. The only thing he can do to score on offense is catch and shoot threes. Anything else he does he is very ineffective at it and usually looks very uncomfortable doing it. Hell he looks uncomfortable taking wide open 3’s when he has so much time he actually takes his time. He looks much better shooting in rhythm the second he catches it. And his mid range jump shot looks horrid.
As I said, he’s been playing good lately, but if we want to win a championship, he needs to be upgraded.

I think we can win with Lonzo but I don’t think we can pay him like the third best player on this team.
If only Jrue were a little younger. We’d be staaaackkeeeed

go ahead and clip in two examples.
I suspect your reading skills or memory.
Go ahead and clip in your many examples. Be full about it. Context.
I have admitted i vastly underestimated what pels would get for davis only one year contract.

Patterson played 5 minutes all game
and he guarded Lonzo the whole time, and it was 6 minutes. The fact that Lonzo had one of the slowest big men in the league covering him for 6 minutes in the 4th quarter, and was unable to score at any point, and had just 1 assist which came in a fast break, is pathetic.

Keep thinking b/c he's shooting decent from 3 now that he's all of a sudden an all star level player. If he's the 5th best player offensively, that's not a bad 5th option. He can't be the 3rd best option and we be good enough to compete for something better than the 8 seed.
His game is flawed, especially in the half court, and there's nothing wrong with that as almost everyone has a flaw or two in their game. He seems like a hard worker and he can continue to get better.
I have said many negative things about Lonzo, and i have also complimented him many times as well, and given specifics on how i think he can improve his game. It's ok to say something negative about someone while still having a positive outlook of the person.

You tried to shite on the guy based on a 5 minute sample in a game where he had a triple double
Anyway, Patterson has always been a smart defender with the ability to defend the perimeter. Him guarding Ball in the half court isnt crazy, theyve used him the same way on bigger ball handlers. But that's neither here nor there. By your logic he couldn't score on a shite defender yet still managed a triple double against better? defenders.

Well he's not a 3rd option when you have Ingram, Jrue and Zion healthy. Arguably not a 4th with Redick in there.
It's just odd you continue to harp on the negatives of a 22 year old, whose improved played happens to coincide with some wins.

Yeah. this is the first time i've said something positive about Lonzo.
Sorry i like to be critical of our players, and not just pump sunshine at all times ignoring any negatives of someones game.
As i said, it's possible to be critical of ones game while still being positive, and i have said positive things for weeks now about Lonzo. I have literally said i think he can become a fringe all star level player.

And we were a -4 with him on the court with his triple double, and we lost.
