Lonzo is maturing in front of our eyes. He’s never gonna be a high scoring point, but his vision and ability to assist scorers like Zion and Ingram is fun to watch.

This team has some serious talent of young players that are going to be a force in the next few years.

I really like what I've seen from Lonzo the last 20 games or so. Tonight, in LA, he has taken some uncharacteristic shots early (pressing too much). And now, he has become very passive with his shot. Has to get being in LA out of his head and just play his game.

I’m truly excited to see how this team grows as they continue to play together. Ball has been getting in a nice groove.

I’ll gladly eat crow on him. He’s vastly exceeded my expectations and I look forward to him continuing to grow as a Pelican for years to come.

I agree his shot choice tonight outside of his shove drive to the basket have been suspect. But his assists to Zion specifically, you can tell there is a beautiful relationship developing.

He needs to develop some sort of ability to score inside the three point line. He’s a liability currently against good teams

I feel like 10% of his games this year have been great, the other 90% average or worse

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I think Lonzo could actually be a long-term piece for us.

He still needs to improve his shooting overall. He still needs to drive more to be enough of a scoring threat to keep the defense honest & to break down the defense, but he is the kind of low-usage, primary ball-handler, perimeter defender that fits with BI & Zion.

Almost like Griffin knew what he was doing when he was building this team
I remember when people were shutting on Griffin at the beginning of the season

This board and its obsession with Ball are hilarious.


Uh, he’s averaging 11/6/6.

10/7/7 this month.

He averaged 10/7/7 his rookie year.

He’s the same Lonzo as always. He is shooting the 3 better but his free throw percentage and overall fg percentage are still awful.

He fits with our up tempo style, but is basically the same guy as he has always been.

I said he’s shooting the 3 better, but still horrible from free throws and fg’s, which is true. You cant google huh Earl? Here ya go.

39-fg/36-3pt/56-ft this season.

Close to his career averages of:
38-fg/33.5-3pt/47-ft.

Lol. Still averaging 11/6/6. Close to his career average of 10/6/6.

Convenient rounding.

How was Jrue his third season?

I literally only out the first two numbers dumbass, except for the 3ball this season where I put 33.5%. So yeah, no rounding was done.

Who fricking cares, Jrue and Zo are not similar. GTF
