Don't think guard, think team. Zo is an egalitarian distributer. Not a traditional pg like cp3, or a scoring pg like Tony Parker, but a pg built for the transition game. I think this is a new position that Zo just invented. At UCLA, it wasn't the half court where he excelled, it was in transition and often,,, the hockey assist.
That is true, but the hard thing to visualize is what kind of guard plays well with that kind of style. I'm a Wiz fan and we have Beal. I think he'd be very good with a pg like Zo. In fact, I think that Zo's style fits the Wiz better than Wall's. Right now we have Otto Porter who's coming on strong but it's starting to get kind of weird with regards to who gets to be aggressive. Zo's style would really show if you had a squad like Zo (3 or 4 years from now), Beal, Porter, Morris and an athetlic big man like Thompson.
As good as Zo is, shot creating isn't one of his strengths so the players that you surround him with will need to be able to space the floor, be solid on the fast break and create for themselves. Similar to how the Suns were built in Phoenix with Nash. It'll be fun to watch him Zo develop.

HE IS MENTALLY TOUGH.
With all the attention and scrutiny he is getting (deserved or undeserved) he does not get fazed.
After being bullied last night, he came back and played the best game from any rookie this year.
Lonzo has been dealing with people getting at him for a long time now.
I'm no Lonzo fan but I admire the balls on that kid, no pun intended.

Did he win the game like Lonzo did?
Were the 2012 Heat on same level as 2018 Suns?

It's an improvement on his debut, but let's be real.

How many rookies have had the ball enough for 29 shots, 9 assists, 4 turnovers and many potential assists?KobeBryant24 wrote:Dez wrote:Good for him but he took 27 shots to get 29 points against no defense.

If its so easy why hasn't another rookie since LeBron put up those stats?

It's also not a secret that the Sun's are playing at a ridiculous pace and are trading baskets this season.
At least he contributed in other areas.

He’s not as loud about it, but it’s kinda impossible to be louder than Lavar, but he does not strike me at all as some kind of a mature and smart person, he seems like a spoiled kid. I’m just happy he landed on the Lakers. Just fits the place perfectly.

If that kid is a spoiled brat, you really hate his ass. That's all that post says. He's almost autistic. If you can interpret spoiled brat from his deadpan answers, you are seriously looking to find stuff to hate.
