After GH's injury, I will never look at "ankle injuries" the same again.

I'd like to see Lonzo try to post up Bev and get Bev in early foul trouble.

0 to no chance Lonzo will have success posting up an elite defender like Beverly, this game wont end well for Lonzo.

he's 6'7. he should be able to shoot over beverly if he gets deep post position. he's not going to be able to drive around him. That's the best way to score on beverly.

He has no post game. That's playing right into the Clippers' hands.

The crazy thing is, post-ups are actually slightly more efficient than PnR BH scoring, which everyone wants him to do more of.

I rather Andrew Bogut take 3s than Lonzo posting up. Lonzo's offensive repertoire is extremely limited, and that limitation does not contain postups.

Lonzo is not a post up player; maybe he will add that to his game in the future but right now his strength is surveying the entire court and seeing what is open. Him posting up would just make the lakers half court offense even more stagnant. If anything, off ball he can make cuts, etc. Posting up won’t help, he’s not that type of player.

"Yes, pick-and-roll ball-handler possessions are extremely inefficient. They’re less efficient than isolation! There’s a reason the Warriors and Celtics take less of these shots than just about any team. Those are bad shots. The offense you can generate on rolls/pops/slips, cuts, and spot-up looks generated from the pick-and-roll are productive, which makes the best use of a pick-and-roll a primary action that sets up something else. However, sometimes the ball-handler shooting is the only option available so having an efficient pick-and-roll scorer can help make or break an offense." - Cranjis

Things you hear about him, don’t even happen to vets in the league and he’s only 19.... scary to think what he might become, key is gonna be health for Ball, it looks like he has that Kobe mentality already.

And a shot that doesn't lend itself for close quarter combat

Guys, no one is saying force feed Lonzo, to turn Lonzo into Shaq with touches in the post. If Bev is super aggressive on defense which I think he will be, we can try to see if Lonzo can draw a ticky tack foul in the post to relax Bev a bit. I think we can suggest a play without people taking that suggestion to the extreme.

Yeah, I haven't seen any semblance of a post game from him.

The difference is that PnR ballhandler also leads to PnR roll man, which are much higher efficiency. It just doesn't get "assigned" to PnR ballhandler.

In contrast, post ups' ppp are, well, just post ups. I'd also argue PnR ballhandler leads to more spotup attempts though I can't actually prove that.

Based on what we've seen and heard regarding Lonzo he probably doesn't have much stamina at the moment.

Between Thursday/Friday back-2-back games there will be plenty of playing time to go around for everybody.

Thursday/Friday back-2-back games will give us a little insight about Zo's conditioning and health.
