Some of yall are way off base with your Lonzo takes. Yes, he needs to improve his finishing and his form is ugly.

But the biggest problem is that the Lakers are asking him to generate a ton offense when he flourished at UCLA spending a lot of time off-ball Hoop-Math -- UCLA basketball play-by-play statistics

Once again, Lonzo is best when he can get some catch + shoot opportunities and do quick passes to guys in motion.

Thats why trading DLo was dumb. He needs another creator, KCP doesn't generate most of his own offense.

Lonzo is dead last on the Lakers in the percentage of his offense that is assisted, both overall and from the 3 pt line:

I've been peeped this...

Those nikkas he playing with ain't about moving the rock at all. Dude is used to playing in a sharing offense, where he can swing the ball or pass it ahead and guys make the right basketball decision and play. Currently... the Lakers get the ball from dude, put there head down, and don't even look to pass unless they absolutely have to. Their games ugly as hell cause most of that team is selfish af.

It's a completely different vibe to how he meshed with the guys he was playing Summer League with.
Both valid points....I've said it before, Luke ain't getting enough blame. Was brought in to run GS motion offense but seems like he'd rather run the triangle .

I still feel like DLO would of had some animosity being the future & getting replaced so soon.

FO should have presented it as him & ZO being a duo. Perception is everything.
