Lonzo more 3 attempts than JJ last night

I really thought he would be the steal of the trade, but holy shite, his game is terrible. He belongs in the 90s. He can't cut it in today's game and should not be on the floor for more than 6 minutes a game.

He's actually shooting better from 3 than he did with LA, so there is some progression at least

He's still carving out his role on the team - it's too soon to jump ship since at minimum he can actually defend. Lawd knows our defense is an abomination.

I don't necessarily have an issue with the 3's. Hes hitting a not horrible %, and in today's nba, he needs to take them. At 35%, you still have to shoot, just maybe not 7 3s.

It's the ones where he jacks it up with 16 seconds left on the shot clock and it's not wide open. Bro, that isnt your game.
When hes standing on the wing or corner, and someone else brings the ball up, and gives him the first pass, you know it's going up, and those are the ones that he needs to cut out of his game. That would also get his 3pt attempts to where they need to be.

I agree - I think the idea is that are doing psychological retooling with him - they want him to feel confident and aggressive by giving him the green light, especially since the scoring burden is higher without Zion.

I would think they will be trying to reign in some of the bad shots after a certain period of time.

His shot looks like it has AIDS.

In theory, maybe. Last year, maybe. He's not defending well this year, though.

In 17-18, Boogie averaged six attempts on 35% and all Uncle Al did was tell the media he wanted him to shoot it more.

So I wouldn’t expect the green light to stop anytime soon.

Lonzo benefits the absolute most to Zion's return. I think we can be patient here but I do think it's something he should adjust moving forward.

I would like people that keep saying Lonzo will benefit from Zion to be specific about how he will benefit from it.

Watch Lonzo without the ball on offense. He does much of nothing. How does Zion's presence make his stagnant off ball offense better?

Lonzo could be running pick and rolls with Jaxson all day, yet he doesn't. How is Zion's presence going to make him a better pick and roll player? We've seen really good passes from him out of some pick and rolls, but they are far and few in between.

Lonzo makes very little effort to ever get around his defender and into the paint. How is Zion's presence going to make him more aggressive, which he's never been in his 3 years in league?

At this point, i don't see how he ever becomes better offensively from a scoring standpoint. His refusal to penetrate will always limit him to being a shooter, which he isn't that good at.
The only thing I see him benefiting from is hopefully he cuts down on his stupid 3's, and gets more open 3's with Zion on the floor.


I used to hate the Ryno turn around fade away more than anything, but Lonzo's step back 3 and his pull my hands down as fast as possible after the release 3 is a thousand times more irritating. He's not Harden, and he's not Curry. Trying to pretend to shoot like them is something a high school idiot would do, not guys in the NBA. Just take a high percentage three you moron. You're not good enough to be cocky about it, and this isn't an AAU game.
