I DONT GET WHY LONZO IS JUST CHUCKING UP RANDOM SHOTS...HE ACTS LIKE HE'S NEVER PLAYED THE GAME BEFORE AND DOESNT UNDERSTAND WHAT RHYTHM IS. LIKE HIS SHOTS AREN'T EVEN COMING WITHIN THE FLOW OF THE GAME, HE'S JUST SHOOTING TO TRY N PROVE TO HIMSELF HE CAN SHOOT.

Lonzo ain't straight, this nikka can't shoot for shyt, and is not just 3s, the nikka can't shoot from anywhere. He the 2nd overall pick, that shyt ain't acceptable.
He went a whole month shooting 40%..shot well at UCLA. He can shoot he just out of a rhythm. When you say a nikka cant shoot youre saying he has never had success shooting consistently, that isnt the case here. You dudes arent patient enough plain and simple. Ive had to break this down with randle, russell, ingram, and now Zo. He still adjusting. He has missed alot of games and doesnt have an NBA body yet. You dudes were literally prasing his shooting a month ago, like I can pull up post right now from you dudes praising his shooting..now he cant shoot. Dont be one of those fans. Patience.

He only shot well from 3 during the stretch, his inside game and ft have been bad all season. He has to change that shot:yeshrug:He is shooting Drummond # from the line

The FT shooting is the worse, if you wanna say he still adjusting to NBA speed, length and even the longer 3 pointer that's fine. But shooting below 50% at the line :hhh:

People werent patient with D'Angelo who was better. I dont gotta be patient with Lonzo who wastes time making trash ass music and who's dad was a major distraction before moving to Lithuania to ruin his other 2 sons careers. fukk that whole wannabe-Kardashian family until Lonzo learns how to shoot the basketball

Lonzo shoots pull up jumpers in the paint with a more normal stroke, anyway. That's a great sign.

Contrary to belief Lonzo has shot that step back to his left three and open catch and shoot threes petty well all season. He's terrible when he has to discontinue his dribble and shoot a non step back three or when the defender is ready to contest the steback three. That's why teams let him have open threes when he's the ball handler in the pick and roll and have started contesting on his catch and shoot threes.

His layups are terrible because he's afraid of contact and getting fouled and going to the line seemingly. That's why he's so easy to block.

He has to work on stuff this summer obviously. Unfortunately unless you have a really competent (Spurs level) scouting an development staff that could of identified these issues and partially rectified them in the summer before this season it was going to take a full NBA season to expose the holes in his games.

I think they've gotten the most out of just about everybody they've drafted in the last four years. If Ball doesn't improve, that can't be put on the coaches when everyone else keeps getting better.

Y'all don't really watch games, huh? The team's been giving him the ball with 2 seconds left and he's two feet behind the arc for half of his 3-point attempts. KCP and Wear are unaware of the shot clock when this team plays a two man game.

The majority of people in this thread either don't watch games or don't know shyt about basketball:russ:

That's why I hardly post in here.

With that being said there's no excuse for missing free throws
