Never forget Gordon Haywards ankle snapping in two.

Wow

Never forget Gordon Haywards ankle snapping in two.

YOIKES!

 

[drewsone]

He can't be that passive, that was extreme somehow he still had the highest plus minus on the floor tonight.

Analytics can be weird lol.

I mean he had some blocks and stuff but it looked like he would just get the ball, pass to someone and then get out of the way lol

 

[BIG FISH]

i don't even think rubio is a good comparison
rubio is a much more gifted playmaker and he can lock up on defense.

 

[P C H]

People get caught up in comparing what Rubio essentially is at his ceiling to what ball is at 19-20

But right now bbb ain't doing anything to prove otherwise so it is what is

Well I mean Lonzo ending up as Rubio wouldn't even be a bad thing though. Rubio's a fine starting level point guard. I didn't even mean it in a slanderous way.

And as far as what you said, what ball is at 19-20 years old is someone who can't get his shot off and can't dribble. Becoming a Rubio level player in the NBA would be really good considering where Lonzo is at at this stage of his career, and I think that's definitely attainable.

Thank you to those teams for passing on Kuz. This boy gon be a special scorer.

He came to my job right before draft night and I was off

Well right now it may not be but Peak 5 year in the league? Lonzo can definitely end us as that.

But who cares tbh they have Kuzma who's special

I think it's just who he is. He's not going to force anything he doesn't have to. He'd rather make the correct play, but just putting some pressure on the defense would be nice. I think he's capable, he may just be in his own head right now.

This scrub had 0 points and 4 assists. Hes a joke. Gonna take him a long time to learn how to be an nba speed pg. If he ever gets there. Hardest position in the game.

6'6 and he cant even shoot over people. Or get to the rack. No handles. No real speed. He can pass. But thats it b? 29 minutes and you took 2 shots? How? How do you even allow that to happen if its not intentional. Nah bruh. I like him as a person. Seems like a cool kid. No hate to him personally but as a hooper...he's looking wild trash compared to his contemporaries.


And Lavar had the nerve to say you could sub him in for Currys mvp years and the dubs wouldnt miss a beat. C'mon son.

 

[P C H]

Tbh if the Lakers hit on BI and Kuzma along with what they potentially do this summer it won't even matter what Lonzo becomes.

damn cuzz went right for the jugular

Never forget Gordon Haywards ankle snapping in two.

Never forget that the Celts are still significantly better than the Lakers despite that.

 

[SupremeBeing5]

Ratsull gon make Lakers regret trading him.

This is where coaching and player development for a young player will be important. Luke needs to get in his ear and let him know that being aggressive isn't a bad thing.

It'll be interesting to see if having Kuz in the starting lineup helps that a bit, they have an undeniable chemistry.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

These takes look real familiar. A lot of yall were saying the same things about another #2 pick

Is it really undeniable though? Kuzma is muccchhh better so far this season playing w/o Lonzo. Perhaps more minutes together may iron that out, but so far it's been anything but undeniable.

Yeah like atleast drive and try to get to the line so the defense has to atleast be accountable for you

DLo or BI?
Even DLo was way ahead of Lonzo at the same point in their careers

[EddieDoyers]

Chuck with the first decent take in years lol

This is false. His 1st 8 games are really similar. D'Lo was at 9/3/3. Was extremely passive early on at times as well. I think Zo is a better passer and rebounder and been decent on defense early on.
