This team needs shooting from the PG position so bad. I’ll pass on Zo. |

He's shooting 37.5% from 3 on 6.3 attempts a game? He has no midrange game. But he's improved tremendously from 3. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

No. Not a playoff player (who knows?), no midrange and can’t make layups. Hell, he doesn’t even extensive his arms when trying. |

Secondly, why would having a young ball handler that facilitates the offense, plays defense and shoots 37% on 6 3pt attempts a game be a "bad" thing?
Most around here can embrace knuckleheads like Howard or Smith but still hold animosity towards Ball? Whose biggest issues were being a 19 yr old that struggled to meet lofty expextations as the Lakers savior and a crazy media whore of a Father.
Lakers would only be so lucky to be in position to bring him back. |
He has improved his 3 ball. I think D Antoni will do wonders for him. They have the personnel to run his offense and young gazelles to run teams to the ground. |

Zo does a few things well that work with this particular team.
-great defender with size to guard 3 positions (so switchy)
-improving 3 point shooter, 37.5% on 6.3 attempts a game.
-can help run the offense when LBJ needs a break.
-excellent passer, amazing fast break operator.
We know his weaknesses for sure. I wonder if Klutch is going to try to move Zo to wherever his brother lands after the draft. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

basically you plug him in the Avery role and we are a + |

Much more than that. I think he's a better defender, shooter, playmaker, passer, etc. Not even close IMO.
But I think Klutch is going to try to reunite him with LaMelo. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Lonzo’s contract is probably a non-starter. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Is this a Chino Hills tank Kuzma is wearing? If so, that would make a lot of sense.

My list of young core I’d like to see back.
1) Ingram
2) DLO or Ball
3) Clarkson or Nance Jr
4) T Bryant
5) Bonga
Someone is coming back at some point. Clarkson most likely. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant |

I say this every time Zo is brought up.
He shot below 30% between 3 feet from the basket and the 3PT line this year.
He is easy to guard in the 1/2 court because his offensive game is so limited and predictable.
He's afraid of drawing shooting fouls because his career best single season FT% is 56%. Thus he averages 1 FT attempt a game. Despite playing 32 MPG. We still have another season of Caruso under 3 mill next year. Whatever Lonzo costs, I'd rather spend it elsewhere. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
