Obviously because DLO is no longer a Laker. Notice how the narrative on him has completely shifted since changing teams?

Eh, Lonzo from UCLA could've played with DLo. But they got him running the pick n roll here which was DLo's bread and butter.

What kind of guard fits with Lonzo then? I haven't watched a lot of his games but D-Lo projects as a great #2 guard.

At the very least they could have tried out the Lonzo D-Lo backcourt. They didn't even give it a chance.

trust me, I feel you. I actually think he's portable. There would just be too much overlap if both guys tried to play the same way. Zo could use the shooting for spacing doe

jeez, Lonzo already top 10 PG in the league. teams better start reading the scouting report

Who the heck is coaching the Sun's? Gave up 24 to Connaughton yesterday and 29 to Lonzo today. Jesus, not looking good down there.

I'd rather have Lonzo/Kuzma/Lopez than Lonzo/Dlo/Mozgov.

That latter trio, Lonzo and Dlo have overlapping skills and Mozgov is hot trash.

These haters do not like the Lakers. If DLO was still a Lakers......then he will be hated too.

Oh, wait, silly me, we'll probably get four.

What's the prob. You knew there was going to be a game1 thread, and then a follow up game2, and this will go on for a few games, and plus a possible successful class will make this year pretty good instead of just gsw and the never ending cavs drama.

There's a lot to fill this board with, bro. A panoply of basketball pleasure. Okc, cp3 and Houston, the Greek, Kyrie, cousins+Davis, and if Lonzo turns out to be THAT guy everyone's talking about,,,,, what a unique talent he and Simmons will be. All at a time with a super team in each division. In fact brace yourself for a season long Lonzo ball thread. Gonzo for Lonzo.... Lol

Those of us laker fans who watched DLO and really studied Lonzo pre-draft knew they could work together... don't get my wrong they'd be awful defensively but I think in this stage of the franchise, defensive identity is not as important as offensive. Eventually you bring in guys around them that turn up the D. But like you said, they'd work because Lonzo is not some pound the rock PG like CP3. He gets it and moves it. Quite literally, he and DLO have polar opposite strengths.

DLO: Shooting, scorer, midrange, post ability, cutting off ball, slow/methodica but crafty, great in half court sets, strong in PnR.
Lonzo: speed, catch and shoot ability, full court passer, elite size, great length, crashes the glass, challenges bigs, catches lobs.

It's a shame us Laker fans will never get to see those 2 together because I think they could have been special and seeing what Lonzo did tonight and what DLO has been doing, it's hard not to feel let down that they couldn't have had at least 1 year together. Would have helped each other immensely.

Honestly, if KCP can hit his threes then he fits Lonzo like a glove. Great defender, can actually D up the smaller quick pgs and move Lonzo to pick up the 2s and save energy. KCP is also athletic, moves and plays well off the ball.

Another example would be Klay Thompson. Ideally, you'd want a 3 and D two guard with the foot quickness to pick up small 1s.

Shot 12/27 from the field.

% wise not terrible but he took nearly 30 shots. Not exactly good efficiency. Although in his defense, he doesn't have a ton of help. His passing/rebounding continues to be promising though.

He HAS TO take 30 shots for this pathetic team to win

It was against the Suns team who got blown out by Portland but still, if it was that easy we would've seen a lot of rookie players do that. His rebounding numbers are most encouraging to me. He really can be a special rebounding guard in this league.

lamscott · Post #77 » by **lamscott** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 6:12 am

For all you DLO would have worked with Lonzo Laker fans. Who gonna play defense? Part of the reason Lakers won was they finally started getting stops. Russell allergic to defense.

Don't understand why so many posters have so much hate towards him? If it's just all from his pops then hate Lavar. But Lonzo himself just keeps his head down .. stays quiet.. works hard.. plays the right way. An unselfish star in a me-first league is refreshing.

When you have kids like Kyrie leaving a contender like the Cavs because he wants to be "the man" --- Lonzo is over here judging his play by how many Ws he can get. He truly is a rarity in the league and I hope everyone puts down their blind hate to get a chance to appreciate this kid who is playing the right way.

As a matter of fact, the difference between him and lavar is so huge I'm surprised more people don't actually LIKE Zo more. The two are so different, Zo should be admired for turning out so well

On a good team, we'd be seeing why ball is so special. Would have absolutely LOVED to watch him on the spurs.
