What if Ingram's ceiling is a more offensively assertive/skilled Iguodala? Pretty damn good.

Lonzo had a poor game. Some decent spots in the third when he got to the bucket a few times and hit the 3 but otherwise was bad.
His free throw routine is trash. Has nobody worked with him on it? And given him quality advice?
He needs to slow down considerably. He goes to the line and shoots like he’s just trying to get it over with. If he goes to the line, breathes, gets his feet set and goes up from there. Visualizes himself making the shot. Holds his follow through. That right there is 10-15% increase
But there’s a lot of areas he needs to work on in the offseason. In order.
1. 3 PT shooting
2. FT shooting
3. Finishing at the rim
4. Tightening up his handle. Incorporating more moves
5. Learning how to change speeds
6. Drawing contact/finishing thru contact
Aside from shooting he should be able to do 3-6 in one off season as those are more technique than anything else. FT shooting is all mental. You don’t go from 67% in college to 50%. But dude needs a legit shooting coach. DMO ain’t helping with ****.

I can live with some of these from Josh because he's out there really busting his *** on D every play
sometimes he gets caught, ALOT of times its a bad call but you gotta give it to the kid he is active every defensive possession.
he makes some head scratchers on the offesnive end though, but so does everyone else on this squad so far...LJ included.
Still growing, still learning, this was a good win
OKC a winnable game for us

Last time I looked at the score we was down 110 - 108 with 3 mins and some change left. Held them to 4 points rest of the game. Defense.

Agree. He’s just not getting the benefit of a doubt being a second year, bench player. Most of those fouls are your usual touch/BS fouls anyway. I can live with those, as long as he’s consistently putting out effort.

Iguodala in his prime was very skilled. Great facilitator. Ingram has a long way to go to get there IMO. Today's game was a template for him.
I really hate how they hyped him to be some sort of 20 point scorer. I feel like it messed with his game.

I'm glad I'm wrong about this game but the young core is still underwhelming until I see them play consistently well. I'd gladly trade all of them for Anthony Davis.

Lol they should be 2-1 without a miracle 3 pointer. You need to get off Lebby's teet for a sec and realize we have really productive young talent.

Well hopefully he's not injured so he can actually have an offseason to work on those things. I'm convinced we don't practice free throws at all though seems like 90% of our squad is having career lows at the line.

I wonder how big of a focus FT shooting is at practice. I’ve seen videos where they are practicing FTs but the drills can’t be that long. Plus there is no real constructive criticism happening when you got Miles Simon and B Shaw observing. Seems like they just stand there and offer generic advice. A dedicated shooting coach and skills coach is a must at this point

Rondo is pretty bad too
We got the two worst FT shooting PGs of all time on our squad

KCP was better than Zo last night.
Zo was balling in sac but didn’t have the same energy yesterday.
It happens.

Some stat expert needs to run the numbers on this. How many teams win games where they're starting point guard -20? Has to be less than 1%

Numbers look solid but I'd still trade three out of four of these guys for AD
