That being said I still believe in his ceiling more than Ingram's. Not sure if that means a whole lot |
Not when it comes from you obviously, noted BI murderer  |
his take on BI looks more biased with every post...like a bot trying to drive home a point  |

The biggest problem with Lonzo is not his talent which he has a lot.
It seems to be his work ethic.
He has to take his job more seriously.
Talk to Kobe and Kidd and pick up their work ethic.
If he can put in half the time in bb that Kobe did, he will improve a lot. |

When the pace is quick, Zo shined last season. It’s the set plays in the half court that needs to improve. I think that is where the coaching staff failed not only Zo, but the youth in general. They deferred to Bron way too much to initiate the half court set. You should not have to be directed on where to be on the fly as much as they did. That is where Luke failed the Lakers. The team getting behind by double digits early was a sign of not being prepared with a sound game plan.

What a narrative.
I mean I'm sure LeBron would definitely be Ok with poor work ethic guys |

I agree with the first part. It was Zo's comfort zone because that's the way he's used to playing.
I don't blame the coaches for putting the ball in Lebron or Rondo hands in the half-court offense though. Rondo's shot may be as suspect as Zo's but his handles are solid and he knows how to break down defenses off the dribble and find the open man. Zo's ballhandling is just as suspect as his shot which limits the areas of the court he can attack.

Oh wow
I mean, I knew he signed with CAA, but I thought it would be with Leon Rose. This is interesting to say the least. |

Very interesting. I also wonder if what transpired with the trade rumors, Randle, George, Magic etc. pushed him in that direction. Probably wanted someone who can represent his interests well, especially with more trade rumors to come. I don't blame him, I just hope we retain him. |

Dammit that made me like De'Aaron Fox. Lonzo/Fox future backcourt. |

You mean Zo to the Kings 
He seemed so articulate during this interview and also during his interview with Colin. Sounds like a student of the game. I think he has a great future.

It seems like those two really like and respect each other despite the media driven “rivalry”. |

Besides age and one being in his prime and the other just getting started?
I'd say Lonzo shoots better from 3 |

Lonzo 3 pt % 32.9, Rubio 31.1. Rubio shot 85.5% ft tho.
Lonzo 8th in DRPM at 1.29, Rubio 12th at 0.99. |

Lonzo still has two years left on his deal. Hopefully he can stay healthy and show us some much better shooting. But with his good defense, and pass-first mentality, he has a chance to be something special in this league. Would be nice to se one of our #2 picks excel and become at least a very good starter if not a star.

The suns and bulls are rumored to be offering their lottery picks number 6 and 7 for lonzo. Lonzo for 6 from Phoenix you would probably get two of three of Garland, Culver or Hunter |
according to John Gambadoro, who's tight with the Sun's org, the Suns ARE NOT willing to offer a lottery pick for Ball

There is NO truth to this - Suns not offering #6 for Lonzo

The Cardinals are NOT trading Josh Rosen. All this talk is absurd. They are not trading Rosen to draft Kyler Murray. Not happening |
