His layups are worst than Fisher's.
He still needs to add a floater game.
Did anyone see Lance correcting him about something during the play where:
Lance passed to ball in the corner. Ball faked a shot and drove to alley to McGee for the dunk.
Lance then said something to him and ball threw his palms up in the air like "wth"
Did Lance want him to shoot? |
he has high school layup syndrome. lol.
he doesnt NEED a floater. it would be nice if he had one. remember this dude is like 6'6 or so. he needs to learn how to go into the paint with guys in there and finish strong, protect the ball to the last moment then put it on the glass nicely or lay it in/dunk it.
when in the paint shooting, he plays like a 5'8 guy without a floater, which is why you're saying he needs one since he plays so small in there. he needs to play his height. |

| When he got in the paint, I really thought he was going to go up, pump fake, create space and layup, but he tossed it out to the perimeter...guy needs to play with a tougher mindset. To me, his mindset looks very fragile. |

Lonzo and Lance clearly dislike each other. |

When he passed to a wide open Lebron for a corner 3? Or a different play?

Different play.

I'm glad Lonzo had a good game tonight, but all four main young guys have shown flashes in only two games.

Hart will be a great role player for the Lakers for years to come. In the ilk of Michael Cooper and Rick Fox. |

True Hart is usually solid but he was clanking some shots tonight and defense wasn’t too great
Kuzma is now 2-12 from deep in the first 2 games
I forgot Ingram was even on the court ..
Lonzo shot well tonight .. he does everything else very well on the court so that’s usually what it comes down to with him. |

How has Hart been solid? He's been awful for going on two seasons now. Atrocious defender and mediocre/limited offensive player. Only positive attributes are decent three point shooter and decent rebounder for a guard. He's basically a stretch 4 without the size, which is brutally bad.
Agreed that Lonzo continues to look outstanding, rounding into last seasons form tonight after a pedestrian game 1. We need to get him more minutes.
BI will always be a limited player with his current frame but he has moments.i think he would be better off the bench though once we get a true starting caliber SF or PF to pair with LeBron. Like that BI showed a little dog tonight though.
Kuz is the same player we've seen minus the hot streak of offense last year. Hopefully he snaps out of it and can become decent offenseively because his defense leaves a lot to be desired.
Obviously most of our problems could be fixed if we could get a Brook Lopez level center but Brook desrvedly got a Max deal... Oh wait we are paying Lance Stephenson more than BroLo could have been had for.... |

again. if you forgot ingram was on the court its because he's not a flashy player. the man was shooting over 60%. what more do you need him to do? lebron. the kind was shooting 40% and ended around there for the night. unusual i know but still. |

TBH, I love when he goes to the rim from the high post triple threat. I feel like with his length he is almost unstoppable in that position. |

As LakerLogic said his jumpshot has not looked good .. he isn’t even hitting from the corner.
LeBron is LeBron I’m not worried about our superstar player I’m concerned with our unproven players |

Hart is a decent shooter, great in transition and attacking closeouts. Great finisher and rebounder. Bad perimeter defense against guards/wings but good defense against bigger players. Yeah that's not bad for a 30th pick. |

Don't know why people are arguing BI not doing well in both games, when BI defends Harden and CP3 at times passed to another player on the perimeter, BI did bug some of those shots.
He also didn't have many opportunities. He had 3 shots in the 1st and second quarters, I believe. Definitely under 10 shots. And he wound up with over 60% shooting, sure he missed some shots, but he is doing a ton better than Kuz, at least BI can bring you defense |

Do we need to turn Lonzo's thread into a takedown of other young players? This is like the DLo thread all over again.
