Hes good, just not NBA All Star good. 4th year in the league and the Pelicans was like nope dont wanna do a contract extension with you (at least whatever it is his agent asked for) Yup, I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but in his 4th year he should be ready by now. I even ranted last week for the Pels free him. Thought the big stage in LA was the issue. Nope, he just ain't ready or our expectations were too high. I still think there is something there though, maybe years down the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.A.G. 69 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Lonzo probably has the worst body language of an NBA player I’ve ever seen. He is also one of the most passive players I’ve ever seen and seems like he’s barely engaged while he’s on the floor, all of this is made worse when he’s in a half court set where he needs to think and not just react. Lamelo on the other hand is in constant attack mode, either chucking threes or going for crazy passes, he’s the “awake” version of Lonzo. I really hope he gets traded to an uptempo team because it seems Van Gundy is sticking with the slow paced basketball with no shooters plan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claptondecheeks 1,017 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 You guys think he gets traded anytime soon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gohawks 10,188 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Van Gundy is an absolutely horrible coach that is stuck 20 years in the past. He used to be good but he’s done nothing to evolve to a game that’s drastically changed. This dude is about to stunt the growth of the entire team. What an absolutely horrendous hire. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sharkpotato 1,175 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 He would've had a great line last game as well if his ankle injury didn't cut his night short. Keep it going Lonzo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's averaging .388% this season and this shooting night was likely a fluke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is saying that on average he wont be shooting that well but can still have games similar. Like if he shot at .388% he gets 15, 3, 8, 1 which is still incredible. of course we would all love 7 threes 27 pts a game but we all know what we were signing up for when we drafted him, dodgy shooting, incredible peripherals. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rncnomics 61 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 he still needs to get traded. A lot of this production was because of the team's great penetration with the extra pass. Zion & BI made great decisions, hence their TO #s.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lethotjames23 335 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 top 50 over the last 2 weeks go look at the first few pages of this thread as perfect evidence why you need to be patient when a guy is just missing shots. all the crying looks hilarious now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
