MWon 1,729 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 8 hours ago, sharkpotato said: Does anybody else think this is moronic? I'm pretty sure that Lonzo would be more effective with the ball in his hands. 4 hours ago, affliction said: I pretty much said this earlier. He is more effective with the ball but the offense runs through Ingram and Zion. The team lacks shooters so they are forcing Lonzo to be something he isn’t. Yeah, I think the difference between Lonzo and Lamelo is the latter is being allowed to do whatever he wants, and it works perfectly with his game style. Rozier and Graham seem fine playing off him or at least staggering ball handling capabilities (and it's not like anyone else on the Hornets will dominate the ball, other than Hayward). Lonzo's got a much more rigid coach in SVG who - as y'all have said - is playing Lonzo as a shooter, which he simply isn't. Dude is a passer, so much so that he has half a dozen Shaqtin moments where he'll pass up open layups to turn over the ball. It also doesn't help that Ingram and Zion are so much more dominant with post ups and pull ups. Just watch their games; Lamelo leads fast breaks and looks to attack the rim or dish off to open teammates, while Lonzo passes it to Ingram, does an Iverson cut, and then just stands at the 3point line in case the latter wants to look his way. It's certainly a difference in playstyle and aggressiveness, but I definitely agree Lonzo isn't being utilized very well. My personal solution would be to take Bled out of the starting lineup and start Reddick at SG. Lonzo gets more control of the ball and the spacing with the starters is alleviated (given Bled, Zion, and Adams aren't exactly snipers). Bled leads the bench guys, and as long as SVG staggers some of his frontcourt's minutes, Bled can play alongside Lonzo (at SG) for a few minutes. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

m1dday 300 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Yep, he has jumper's knee. Wonder if he'll play through it, but with my luck he's probably out for a few weeks lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeXScott 164 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I was ready to bench him for Divincenzo anyways, even without the injury. Lonzo will have a nice close to the season if he's healthy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a Pels fan I was hoping the green light would come on this year because he showed an improvement in his jumper,but at this point I’d rather see NAW get minutes. He is who he is Well NAW got minutes and balled out. Zo could hit the bench. Edited January 14 by affliction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
