Even if he becomes a league average 3 point shooter, his lack of half court offense/offensive creativity limits his ceiling.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

A non-scoring PG isn't a starting PG in the current landscape of the league. This is why I thought he should be drafted closer to 10th than 2nd.

This was my question weeks ago, outside of Curry will we see a scoring point guard (or a point guard who is the best player on the team) lead a team to a ring soon?

I don't think you need to be a scoring point guard to flourish, you certainly can't be a non shooter though

I fully believe being a non playmaking point guard isn't starting material in the current climate as opposed to a non scoring PG. BBB has his work cut out for him because his playmaking is hindered by his non shooting

What team in the playoffs last year featured a pass first PG?

Rondo?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Ingram: 'Patience! This is only his 2nd year!'

Ball: 'Patience! It's only been 14 games!'

Russell: 'I know it's only been 2 months but he has to go'

BI is better though

Russell is gone cuz he was a immature snitch which this thread ignores now that he ain't on the Lakers. Lol

What does being in your 3rd year have to do with FTs, blown layups, standing up for your teammates, making a damn 3 with 25% accuracy?

Definitely. I been saying his shooting is trash, Especially the layups and FT's.

On point but the way people talked about Russell is one reason to be patient on Lonzo

Which is a terrible reason to dump an asset for nothing

Like I can’t think of a worse reason to dump a #2 pick for scraps than “he snitched on his terrible teammate”

New regime, they wanted a culture change and saw things in Dlo that us fans don’t have insight into. Plus cap space relief and they kept the #2 pick which enabled them to draft a replacement. All that combined is why they traded him

If an asset like Terrell Ownes can bounce from team to team Dlo can.

Yeah I mean we aren't talking about him snitching on Kobe or something like that. It was Swaggy freaking P.

Owens behavior was many degrees worse.

I don’t even see DLo as a star, just think they did a dumb job maximizing his value. And they could really use him next to Lonzo badly right now

 

[100027]

It ain’t Russell’s job to keep Nick Young’s dumbass life in check. If Young wanted to keep it a secret maybe he could have been less sloppy with his behavior

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rondo?

Probably so. Which of those teams featured their point guard as their best player? OKC, Boston, Grizz? Maybe Clips and Blazers? Warriors are an aberration can't even put them in this convo smh

In 4 years, BBB will be 24, the landscape could certainly look different. He certainly needs a fit around him as opposed to the other rookie PG's, I'm still optimistic on him

 

[Peep Game]

On point but the way people talked about Russell is one reason to be patient on Lonzo

True, but you still were able to see drive, heart, and fearlessness even with Russell's faults. Lonzo looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but a basketball court. I will say that Lonzo being so subpar has been great for Ingram's development. The heat is off of him and he can just play basketball now and not be looked at as a savior.

Or maybe just maybe not record your boy like you the feds or something, just a thought.

Obviously not his boy.

Don’t go yammering about cheating on your fiancé to people who aren’t your boy and then get upset when your *** gets dumped

 

[shotsrangout]

Sheesh even the Knicks drafted better than the Lakers this year.


Laketurd fam come hold this L for lonzo and lavar. Y’all deserve it for being the worst fan base on this website.

This is a gaddamn lie, especially early on. Some of the exact same non-chalant tendencies, too cool for school stuff plagued D'Lo. He struggled with his shot, got benched several times and all that. Y'all ain't gone rewrite history just cause he ain't a Laker anymore.

For arguments sake, let’s say first or second option:

Cavs
Celtics
Wizards
Hawks
Raptors
Pacers

GSW
Rockets
Blazers
Grizzlies
LAC

Lol they weren't boys? You have no clue what you're talking about.

Kinda logic is that?


I never liked Nick Young at all but as a man you don't set up somebody and expose they cheating. That's sucka ****.

[addict4sneakers]

Fultz byke?

Hopefully he got the Jax arm now

 

[Lizakers]

Wonder if Zo’s career arc will be Mateen Cleaves out of the league if he doesn’t improve his shot......or Chauncey Billups slow start and eventual HOFer......or Bibby/Conley never an all star but above average PG picked #2

 

[hardens beard]

[100027]

That’s exciting

Personally i could care less either way, dude is responsible for protecting his own behavior
