Lonzo Ball Thread II

Post #201 » by **Danny Darko** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:43 am

Next person that calls Lonzo a bust on this thread better bring some actual comparison and analysis to Anthony Bennett, Adam Morrison, Hasheem Thabeet, Markelle Fultz, Darko Milicic, Sebastian Telfair, and Greg Oden.

Do you think this team would be better off with D'Angelo Russell as the main PG? Defensively maybe not, but his shooting ability would have been really, really needed next to Bron. The ideal fit.

Lonzo has his show to focus on. Ingram is too busy becoming an MMA fighter. Life decisions.

In that scenario Ingram would have been traded with Mozgov to create cap space. Mind you Russell is playing far better than Ingram. Heck Randle is playing far better than any of them.

Interesting to think, Randle with Russel at this point would be pretty damn good.

Mcgee/Chandler
Randle/Kuzma
Lebron/KCP
Hart/Lance
Russelll/Rondo

Kuz rotating between 3 and 4, KCP between 2 and 3, and Lance 1-3
Zu, Svi, and Mo as reserves

What was Lonzo going to do, go to Cracker Barrel with Kobe? Lonzo was on the shelf.

Russell shoots okay in spurts until he gets a knock in his knee or pride. Let's not forget he's 4 or 5 years older than Lonzo and Ingram

Guys I'd rather have in the 2017 Draft ... Tatum, Fox (the choice of many on this board), Markkanen, Dennis Smith, Donovan Mitchell (a beast), John Collins, and Jarrett Allen. BTW love Kuzma and especially Hart (I'd lose Lonzo before either one of these guys too). Nothing personal, just business. I wish Lonzo and his dad continued success on their facebook show. Hoping for a trade because I do not see him as our point guard of the future if we want championships.

so apparently Lonzo broke up with his GF. no wonder he was extra aggressive last game. good on you ZO2!

I guess Rondo was right that Zo needs to stay angry

I apologise. Obviously I'm completely wrong on the age and I am sorry. I really don't know how I was so far off.

I’ve been harsh on Lonzo. I am very pleased with his intensity the last two games. This is the effort I wanted. Thank you for finally waking up and please become the beast you are supposed to be.

Pretty obvious how much LeBron likes him, beyond just trying to encourage a teammate. He readily gives him the ball to initiate -- something he isn't always willing to do -- tries to get him involved in two-man stuff, then was raving about him after the game last night.

I think it also has to do with Lonzo idolizing Lebron. But regardless if he can get the most of Lonzo I’ll take it

Russell isn't a PG, Russell is one of the worst defender in the league.
Russell is Kyle Kuzma, so no.
