Definitely not there yet.

Danny saw it.

If the Suns had the first pick, they would have taken Lonzo. Bet on it.

Yeah based on McD’s history, I could’ve seen him and Lavar Ball getting along great.

Doesn’t change what he did lol. Don’t get me wrong, he’s been crazy good and has improved his game well but leadership isn’t something i see in Lonzo at least not yet. But that’s understand for a 19 year old rookie.

Lonzo always had an ugly but largely working 3PT shot. Warren never had that (bar his 2nd year which seemed a bit flukey now) for whatever reason despite having a decent looking shot. Lonzo always had a skill which just needed time to get settled and got reps in to improve on court production. Similar to JJ's ball handling which was pretty pathetic as he was playing too fast and he wasn't fully comfortable with the pace and NBA defense yet but 60 games into the season, it's looked a lot better and it's really helped him scoring and facilitating.

That's all at the start of the season. Like his 3PT shooting, he's gotten a lot better as a leader.

Yeah, that would be like someone now saying JJ needs to fix his attitude and linking to the motion of shooting into the crowd.
