You want to know something more retarded? Three years ago he didn't shoot like he does now
he still shot that shit behind his ear but not ass pronounced. When hes confident he has been a damn beast tho.
Stephen A. Smith.... Lonzo Ball.. Petrified....

Look, man ...
...people be comparing this guy to players with ridiculously high motors. Jason Kidd was strong and fast as shit, and played VERY HARD.
People mention Gary Payton, but Gary had that dog in him. The ATOMIC DOG.
That kid doesn't exhibit any of that shit.
It don't mean he can't be good, but when making comparisons, consider all factors.
As I said before, I'm not bothered as much by his shooting woes as I am his passiveness.
If that is his personality, that is his personality.
Agreed
Yea man people dont understand the NBA at the PG position now is pick and roll and scoring threat. Didnt use to be like that.
He rarely uses the pick and roll, I really dont think he was taught that. When I seen him on the AAU circuit, their offense was never structured... I love the way he pitches the ball ahead though.
I just need for him to continue to play sorry so his fanduel value can drop lol. Cats going to sleep on him and he'll drop a triple double and win me some money lol..I think they still have his ass at 6700
Lavar's the greatest used car salesman ever!!! Ball will be decent, but Lakers had no business drafting him #2.Yep... the BGOL experts will tell you that he's helping him though. I've heard 'Its only going to help him because people are coming at him and it will make him better', 'Lavar put him on the map and was responsible for him being drafted #2' (Lonzo was on the map as a HS Junior and was National Player of the year' as a senior, etc. You can literally see his spirit and resolve being broken, and the Kid didn't deserve this shit....
When self promotion and pimping your children goes wrong...
Hopefully the Kid will get better, but so far, he is historically bad
That jump shot isn't broken, it's horrific. Laker girls duck when dis nigga shoots. He's not a smart player right now. He shouldn't be shooting his way out of it. Just get to the basket but his shot is so fucked up it affects the rest of his game. Mentally he's kinda broken. He should be coming off the bench. These's time to fix it obviously, but the pressure of being the next great Lakers PG is weighing him down big time.
When this nigga shoots I'm literally saying to myself what the fuck is he looking at? I've never said that about another NBA player ever.
Yup. Niggas won't admit it though for some strange reason.A 'slightly' better Kendall Marshall man... And his loud mouth ass father talking about he's better than Steph Curry and some others already... Dude hurt him in so many ways man...
I am really pulling for him, but it doesn't look good. You would expect to see SOME improvement or signs of it at this point... Dude was 1-7 last game, missing lay ups and shit! His head is all fucked up. Look at his face when he misses or has to talk about it in interviews..
Yet you haven't herd Ben Simmons father say a fuckin word. Just sayin. 
I agree Luke's rotations are fucked up. He may not be the right coach for this team.
Looks like Ben Simmons missing the NCAA tournament at LSU didn't mean shit either.
Sorry bruh, had ta do it.
I'm just trolling this thread at this point posting bitches. 
Why don’t you make a thread about that bust in Philly. Faggot you been trying to diss Lonzo since summer league. What the fuck has Fultz done?
Russell Westbrook also shot one of the lowest shooting percentages his first year in the NBAHistorically, has there ever been a high pick who was this bad in a critical area and turned it around to reach their pre draft potential.....
Listen man, I'M JUST ASKING A QUESTION!! Don't want to argue with you, the question is genuine!
(Got a brother posting with trepidation like a son of a bitch! Your reputation precedes you my brother!!)
ONCE AGAIN, the guys that people are comparing Lonzo to, who overcame shooting issues, had/have EXTREMELY high motors. Russ still ain't a marksman, but he attacks the rim like a man possessed.
His pops is the definition of "cool in doses". He's entertaining and I get a good laugh every now and then, but I wouldn't to be around this dude everyday. Lonzo doesn't have that option. I was hoping most of the dramatics was just for the cameras and dude has some chill when dealing with his kids privately, but I can see the pressure on Lonzo. Everything is riding on his shoulders, the team, the overpriced shoes, the future of his family. It' all on Zo's performance. I hope dude can turn this around. He seems like a good enough kid.
Laker girls duck when dis nigga shoots.

What’s amazing is basketball players, yes basketball players where the goal is to shoot and put the ball in the basket. Come into the NBA yearly and can’t shoot. But most of them have been playing basketball all their lives.
LOL
I don't want to keep repeating myself ...
...but, who told that dude or allowed him to shoot that way? That looks like some shit someone would do joking around. And all the basketball people he encountered throughout the years, AND NOBODY told him he needed to fix that weird ass shot?
It's actually unbelievable that that happened.
True, cause he's going to the rack baby shit soft. He needs to do what he did to Cauley Stein and yam that shit. He's too finesse around the rim and he's rushing shit.
Looking at the video, he's making them with a hand in his face as well as wide open. Most of those are NBA range or greater. I think dude is just shook right now. Let him roll this year with that jumper and see if he can pull it out. I'd also move his ass to the pin and let Clarkson start.
I'm just trolling this thread at this point posting bitches.
I'll save this for later this year...
Agreed and good eye
Finally a person who understands!
There’s two issues with moving him to the bench. First, how ego will be crushed and he’s already to bad now. No telling what would happened if they moved him to the bench.
I think it would be good for him to go to the G League for a week or two to get adjusted to playing the pro game against men.
Second issue, when the bench comes in they need a spark in attitude, aggression and scoring. He’s providing none of that so him coming off the bench
Even Jason Kidd was not known to be a good outside shooter.
He needs a shooting coach to work on his mechanics...and a sports psychologist.
Magic taking time to work with him exclusively wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
