His good is really good and his bad is awful. Such a polarizing player.
His defense was elite. His vision was good but would be even better if he was more aggressive. He can be really passive out there and disappear quite a bit. His free throw shooting, terrible form, and inability to finish at the rim despite having the height and hops is something I don’t ever remember seeing.
I do wish him the best though. He needs to be somewhere away from the spotlight to grow however his dad brings unnecessary attention to him. _________________ Formerly OC Lakerfan

Lonzo is soft, injury prone, can't hit shots, can't consistently finish at the rim and his dad is insufferable. This past season I lost faith that he could someday be a real good all-around player.
Plus, even though I think Lonzo's a good guy, there's something about his overall demeanor that I don't like. He's really non-chalant, but he also has this Hollywood vibe about him that I can't stand. Maybe it has to do with all the BBB crap, his reality show and him trying to be a rapper.
As much as I'll miss his defense and ability to push the pace and hit the open man, I'm honestly glad he's gone. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

He’s not a laker anymore. We don’t have to pretend he’s good. Total non factor on offense. Can defend. His only attribute. His passing was overrated and he’s made of glass. We’d be clowning another org for taking him 2. Here he was getting excuses. _________________ 17 time World Champions
Yeah I don’t miss Ball. The lack of any kind of shooting, as well as his lack of durability, would have definitely hurt us come playoff time. Could not have worked beside LBJ long term either
I’ll miss BI, Zubac and DLo the most out of our young core. BI will be a great secondary option to Zion. Ball, Nance, Clarkson, Hart, Wagner - whatever _________________ #18 next...
When you're airballing simple/uncontested shots and bricking absolute gimme layups.. your mechanics are trash or you have serious mental issues. Either way, I'm glad we don't have to hold our breath and wait for dude to break all of Magic's records. AND have to hear his snakeoil salesman Dad spout off at the mouth every other day.
I was pulling for him after he seemed to break free from his Dad's shadow.... but he's still the same nonchalant dude that couldn't care less. So, deuces. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same."
I’ve followed Laker forums for quite some time and many around here acted as if Lonzo was the next coming of God. If you said something negative about the guy people would go insane LoL...Truth is all he was good for was defense. When it came to EVERYTHING else and him being an all around player dude was a scrub...Simple. I don’t miss the guy one bit.
What talent? I'm gonna miss seeing those missed free throws and wide open layups, though. It's hard to see those things in this league. _________________ Playoffs is good enough. - Jeanie Buss 2024
Another off season where he can not work on his game. The kid is made of glass (or should I say he takes an eternity to heal). Its only a matter of time where a team employs the hack a ZO. I hope (for his sake) he is mentally strong enough to handle it.
My favorite Laker of the last couple of years. I loved the energy that he and Kuz brought together. I'll be rooting for him — except when he plays the Lakers.
I will miss the guy and think he has a bright future. Scoring will never be his calling card and that seems to be the one thing people tear him down for. I'll miss those full court passes and tip passes to the open man under the basket, and of course the defense. If he becomes even an average shooter he'll be an all-star. I'm happy to be rid of his father though.
