This dude juglejim on one
Just calling a spade a spade. If we were going to call D'Lo a bust after summer league, im sure a **** going to call this turd who can't play d, drive, create his own shot, and make a wide open 3 a bust.
"According to Basketball Reference, Zo’s overall percentage would go down as the worst in league history for a player who averaged at least 10 shots per game."

send zo to the d league to feast on those guys. get his confidence back up
been seeing bryant and zubac tearing it up down there.
Either that or let him run with the 2nd unit so he can get his confidence back. Dude is shook right now. He was pressing early last night because Simmons was punking the whole squad in the first.

When Lebron comes and BI gets on the Magic City cycle regimen. He gonna be a Monstar.

Zo has talent, but this eyes closed shooting gotta stop
And his confidence especially at Staples is non existent

His entire shot needs to be reworked and they need to start it now instead of waiting until the summer.

Can you really start tweaking a shot midseason though? Look at what Fultz was doing.

I wish I didn't agree with you...
Just a side note....
The HYPOCRISY levels in this thread so far this season has been HILARIOUS.
Reminds me of Trump having a tweet for everything

Everyone is on edge cuz this team needs to perform this year to attract free agents next summer.
I get it. But Its crazy how reactionary everyone is.
Lonzo was the youngest to hit a triple double = OMG FUTURE GOAT PG
Lonzo benched in the 4th = BUST we should've took Franky/DSJr/Tatum etc .
**** crazy

I do rather enjoy watching the people who abused DLo in his first summer league absolutely squirm now tho. They skressed with every shot attempt.

he altered his shot cause he hurt his shoulder during off season workouts.
thats why hes been shut down
Whatever happens with that reverse extension stuff with Deng, IF we do manage to pull that off (Please and thank you Lord Baby Jesus.....)
You could go Bron + PG and try to entice Lopez to stay.
Brooke/Randle
Bron/Nance
Ingram/Kuzma
George/Clarkson
Lonzo/Hart
Or, if you don't get Bron and go PG + Boogie and try to entice KCP to stay.
Boogie/Randle
Kuzma/Nance
George/Ingram
KCP/Clarkson
Lonzo/Hart
Is this basically what we're lookin at, if we make a miracle happen with Dengs contract?

Naw, he's shut down because that's what Philly does, peep Embiid and Simmons. They stretchin that "injury" out long as they can.

Jason Kidd first 15 games - 9.3 points, 6.9 assists, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 33/14/75
Lonzo Ball first 15 games - 9.0 points, 6.9 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 30/23/50
Everyone stop panicking. It'll be alright. The kid will grind, just as ason did.

Those stats are cool but they're very basic and not taking into consideration plenty of changes in the game.
This ain't ya daddy's NBA.

Just cuz dude is a light skin does not mean he'll be Jason Kidd
Very true. Same as stats don't tell if the kid will live and die for the game. From everything we've been told, the kid eats basketball, same as Kuzma does. That will help them both.
Adding 1-2-3 stars will help as well.

numbers dont tell the kind of players they are.
J.Kidd was a gamer and actually grinded.
that speed and hunger to grind remains to be seen with Zo

Not to mention shooting is more important than even in the NBA and it took Kidd until his mid-30s to become a servicable 3 point shooter.

No. The world is ending.

Honestly if he turns out to be a solid 6th-7th man in the rotation I'll be satisfied with that.

its because alot of these laker fans are hard headed. they want instant results and still have that win now mentality. they dont want to let players develop they want them to come out the draft looking like lebron james or else they want toship them outLbj x Cousins been the wave.
Hope y'all understand 19 year olds aren't ready to lead teams & contribute right away... But I remember y'all laughed when we said you shouldn't judge 19-20 year old rookies (especially guards) until their 3rd/4th seasons when it was Dlo. It's just funny to see certain cats not throwing the same shade at Lonzo
i still dont get the hate for julius randle. he was the 7th pick in the draft not a top 3 pick yet people want him to perform like one.
as for russel hes looking pretty good and we should have kept him. but he gone. no sense in crying over spilled milk

Ppl still talking stats, comparing to Kidd
Where’s the fight? Where’s the desire to not get punked by other rookies and Sophs who’ve been talking **** all summer? Mental ****** last night, cowered in the big moment with his tail between his legs. I don’t care if his stats were all bagels, play hard and act like you care
Kuz was fearless tried to take Embiids soul on that dunk. BI and JC showed up, fighting for rebounds, tip ins, blocks....that’s all effort
