What makes you think that type of performance is replicable? Unless you think he can be a consistent shooter I don’t really see it.
No reason why he can't replicate the same aggression and stop second-guessing himself whenever he gets the ball in his hands. I don't expect him to put up 20 points every game, but he doesn't need to in order to be an effective scorer.

I think Zo should really pattern his game after a prime Jrue Holiday. A prime Jrue Holiday would make the Lakers go.

I don’t think it’s an aggression thing, I think he has some serious issues with his mechanics and he will continue to be an inconsistent scorer until those issues are corrected.

Really? Cause whenever I see him play, he's typically second-guessing himself and being passive. You really don't think it's an aggression thing when he fades in and out of games on the offensive end? I don't necessarily disagree that he has issues with his mechanics, but again, he can still be aggressive and find ways to score that don't require the act of actually shooting the ball.

It took Jrue about 8 years to reach this version of himself, so it really depends on how long the Lakers are gonna give him. His transformation might need to happen on another team.

Kyrie is shooting the best percentages of his career in Boston and career highs in dimes and rebounds. He led them to 55 wins last year and probably will lead them to 50+ wins this year as the #1 player. He's having the best years of his career now, and he's only 26 so he has better years ahead of him barring more injuries.
His put more effort into being a distributor and other parts of his game. He was out a good chunk of the year last year though so I don’t know if I would call that lead. I was talking shooting efficiency anyway.

Zo and DLO dont have the same problem. Zo's problem is mental....he just has nights when his confident and nights when he's not.I feel like Zo is focused every night, thats why his defense is on point, he just isn't as confident in his offense. DLO had time periods with us where he just wasn't playing hard because he was pouting or otherwise. Like when he got benched his rookie year. He was taking shots at Byron in the media. Zo got benched and kept it moving. Luke treats him like trash but he doesn't take any shots at him or anything. Zo is just better to have around.They both have inconsistent play but it's for different reasons
I agree about the confidence being the reason Zo is inconsistent. The end result is the same though, inconsistency with both of them. I'm all on the Lonzo bandwagon and think he's a much better all around player than D-Lo who is a better scorer and that's all IMO. I think people need to realize dude is still 21 and its going to take time for him to figure out who he is as a player. Add on the knee surgery this summer which usually takes time to build strength back up and to get used to that added strength. I forgot who said it but they had a great point in how Zo is getting more and more explosive as the season goes on due to that and how it all ties into his lack of confidence due to not fully trusting his knee.

But at the same time tho breh was able to score at every level and he’s beginning to show signs now after an offseason and getting his body in shape.

I think the more comfortable he gets the better he’ll look.

Larry got injured and stop some of that logic man. The superstar player gonna get most of the shots same shyt happened with kobe. Lebron gave Ingram plenty of iso opportunity.

The Truth
He hasn't improved as much in 4 years as he should. Offensively hes the same guy getting the same results. Thats why his backup plays just as much as him. I do like him, I just don't like him enough to keep harping on him like other Laker fans are. Zo had a GREAT game yesterday and yall dismissing it because we lost, when we won more with Zo last year than we ever did with DLO.

And Kobe was different because he was a 3 time champion, and they might've not got rid of Kobe, but they did get rid of every other player and coach on that team from that season.
Basically
