Lonzo shot 41% from 3 on FIVE attempts a game in college with this form. I get it that the NBA 3 is a bit further than college but even then it should be closer to the 40% in percentages considering he’s getting better looks in the NBA than he was in college when teams tightly contested his jumper because of his very good %.

When Magic/Luke was asked about changing his form early on in the season when he was struggling, they also pointed to the fact that he was able to shoot well from distance in college with this same form.

Lonzo was rubbish. I'm sorry i'm sick to death of these 2/15, 4/16 and 3/15 type games. Seriously just stop it. You suck at offense, don't try it until you're ready unless you're actually content with us losing every game to the end of the season. Also 12 3pt attempts, good shot or not, he needs to actually be examined mentally for that. Which rookie in their right mind takes 12 shots from beyond the arc if they aren't hot, especially one as cold as him. The thing is, he was great at the other two, its just that his offense was so bad that it basically killed off the good he did rebounding and passing the ball. Like ffs games like this make we wish we picked Fox at 2 instead, at least he knows his limitations. Lonzo is bloody obvious to them seemingly. He needs to spend a full offseason working on that shot because this is like 2 or 3 games in a row he's cost us as a result of his rubbish shooting.

Everyone else played pretty damn well in truth, even Thomas.

Even Rajon Rondo had a great offensive game for crying out loud. I mean i expect Davis to murder us but Rajon Rondo, come on that's just slack.

Unacceptable, really, after they got rid of D'lo (who has cut down the turnovers) and passed up on drafting Tatum, Mitchell, Markannen, Jackson, Fox, Smith Jr. in order to get Lonzo in the first place.
