Lonzo and LeBron already on the same page, and just recently Ingram and LeBron seemed to have a nice connection together on IG..
Things are looking great for us. |

I hope we don't have to hear this again and again like we have since he got hurt in summer league last year.

I much rather have our players telling the truth, as opposed to Philly FO making up fake injuries for there players, imagine what there fans have to deal with, at least our FO is honest when it comes to injuries. |

Lavar on Bronny James joining the JBA:
| Quote: | | “He gotta try out and make sure he’s good enough. He’s not good enough. He’s only like 14 years old … Yeah, he’s good enough for college, but the JBA is a step above that.” |
https://sports.yahoo.com/rush-bronny-james-really-not-good-enough-jba-061945105.html
It's a non-story this time but he's so easily baited into saying stupid s*** that he might finally say something that would really piss off the FO or Bron one day. |

Ah, this is what I was asking for. Finally some extended footage that can be dissected. He's not bringing it from the left side of his face anymore.

| Lonzo consistently hitting his 3's is gonna be HUGE for us. If he goes 35-37% on good volume, we will probably hit the upper range of win projections, 50+ wins. |

Hard to tell from the cut-off damn view.. but from what his left arm is doing, I’d say you’re right. Less cockback and taking it far left |

 If he goes 35-37% on 3's and 80%+ on free throws (which he capable of doing), the sky is the limit for the 2018-19 Lakers.

Yeah, the angle isn't the cleanest, but it's enough to see a clear difference. If he was still winding up from the left side of his head/body, that angle would've exposed it. It looks more centered towards his forehead. I don't know why people on Reddit are saying it looks exactly the same.

Lets be conservative with our expectations, maybe even very conservative.. |

Lonzo with a 3 is a game changer. But yeah, it's still a big IF at this point. |

35% from three is within his capabilities, but to jump from the 40's to the 80's on free throws in one season would be historical. I'd be fine with him reaching the mid 60's for this year and then going from there.

| From the brief clip what is noticeable for me is he is not turning his body sideways as much as he used to. |

Should be because he’s not taking the ball so far over to that side anymore |

Yes. The vids don't have the best angle especially the motion of the arms but the body was noticeable and a good sign.
When he shot bad last year which was most of the time I felt he was not turning his body enough resulting in a left to right shooting motion. |

The one issue I have with his shot is he tends to recoil his arms backwards after the shot instead of having a follow thru with the wrist snap.
In instances where the defender is close this is fine but last year he seemed to do this all the time. |

| What I like is the elimination of the skiing in the shot, the angle is tricky but the overall shout looks much smoother |
