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.

He was missing wide open 3s with 5-20 seconds on the clock vs. the Pelicans. Stop making excuses, he can't shoot.

Did people need 70+ games to realise this?

Anybody who actually watches the full games knew this was apparent before the season even started.

Yet besides that fact the same people who are throwing dirt on him were praising him a month ago..

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.
It’s probably going to take several years for his scoring to consistently come along because he’s lacking so many fundamentals. Luckily he will rarely have to be more than a 4th option for the foreseeable future. We have our future go-to guys in Ingram, Kuzma, and Randle (not to mention future FAs).

I’m shocked that so many of you didn’t see this outcome as a real possibility. NBA defenses are too good for his limitations right now. I’ve been screaming this since lottery night...

The pleasant surprise is how good he is on defense and how impactful he still is despite minimal scoring skills. His potential is still massive and his game is unique.

One would think Lakers fans have learned to stop judging these 19/20 year old lottery picks so early.

This is a complete damn lie. Dumb ass came in here on some holier than thou shyt on a lie. Most of us are posting during games as he's taking the shots. Hardly any of his threes he's been missing are at the end of the clock.

It's only a select few that think Lonzo isn't redeemable. Most of us in here love his all around game and just point out that his huge deficiency in scoring will hurt other parts of his game. His lack of scoring is a problem. You see that teams don't even collapse on him when he drives the ball since they know chances are he won't shoot, and when he does he has such bad fundamentals that it'll get blocked if he does. But for the most part we all view him as the PG of the future and just want him improving on his deficiencies to really be a star and not just a good role player.

The Truth
Lonzo must be on The Coli

Because I literally said the other day he needs to work in the post and midrange...
