He makes incredible look ahead passes. And defends.
He is just so bad at finishing and shooting. With the result being he is almost unplayable even with those positives.

What a shot at Jrue.

TJ Warren found Lonzo Ball's shoes (AirBall limit edition) and said, "Make me like Ball."
Bam, he stole Lonzo's shooting touch.

Out of rhythm. He was playing fantastic before the shutdown.

Meh, I'm a big fan of Lonzo's game. He isn't a great scorer and never will be. When will people get this through their head? That's not his game but it's all people focus on since he came in the league. I'd happily take him on my team any time any day.

Me too. Just before the Covid stoppage he was looking like he finally turned the corner, but now he has played exactly like he always played. Hes just a terrible scorer. I will give him 1 more season but it really concerning to see him reverting again to this.
he's not even trying to score. his fga's are like when he came into the league. this kind of thing is fine if he's on gsw, but he's not,,,this is the pels

Hell no, Luka give his teamates open 3's all night. Dallas doesnt need Lonzo bricking most of them. What Dallas need is another 3+D wing in the Covington mold( like a better Finney Smith and move him to the bench) and a 6th man scorer creator (Campazzo ?).

I wouldnt try to score neither if im shooting 26% from the field and 19% from 3. He just has a terrible feel for scoring and his confidence dissapers after a few misses. He can have a good few games here and there, but it looks like he has a strong tendency to fall into these terribles strechts.

If they get lamelo they might as well trade a future 1st for lonzo, throw a future random 2nd Rd pick to get gelo from OKC g league team , and hire their father as coach .
It would be so fitting for NY

Uh, you realize Lonzo's been shooting 37% from deep this season on 6.3 3PA, and that's including the putrid shooting from the bubble right?

Ok, maybe you have a point. To me looking him fall again into his old self and shooting ridiculous low numbers is a red flag. I'll have to watch him shoot those numbers for another season to buy into him being an good 3+D player.
I agree that if he can hit the open spot up 3 consistenly, he could be a good fit in Dallas.

Dallas is one of the few places I’d trust him to really develop well from a shooting standpoint anyhow.

Re: Lonzo Ball's Performance in the Bubble
Everybody take a breath. Overall he’s shown real improvement and I’m happy with his progress. He’s got a great connection to Zion and if he can learn to be more consistent, which often takes time, he will be a fine compliment to what the Pels already have.
I’m more worried about getting a floor spacing rim protecting big next to Zion than I am with replacing our pg.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him.

I don't want to react too much off of a small sample size against elite competition when there was a 3 month layoff and he may not have had access to a gym.

"damaged goods"
jk (sorta)
i think he is what he is though now, that is the type of career he's gonna have, i don't expect him to improve much more than what we've seen from him these few years

The Lakers basically traded Ingram and picks for Davis. Pels should have tried to get Kuzma or Caruso instead of Ball.

I saw a guy in a BBB sweater a month or so ago. I actually asked him if it was Big Baller Brand because I just had to confirm.
