Lonzo Ball: Year 2

KWALL2 : 11/4/2018 9:13 pm
Ok...Stan loves him and that pretty much kills the kids career. But what are your thoughts on his game in year 2?

Were 9 games in, has anybody seen any improvement?

Discuss.
Ball..

looks like a career reserve. He's done nothing to show he's an elite talent or a guy that is somehow going to mature into a great player.

I’m not sure he has that kind of upside but I want to give him some props for his defensive play. Unlike his offense, it’s not a team killer. He actually helps here. Is it enough? I don’t think so.

Stan?
I think once Lavar expands

The JBA to anyone over 18, he will fulfill his potential with his brothers.

He hasn’t progressed that much. No one guards him and he gambled too much on defense. His progress won’t happen with Lebron there cause Lonzo needs the ball to facilitate.

It's really obvious who the best player in that draft was and the 6ers and Lakers both really missed badly for different reasons.
He helps on D  
KWALL2 : 11/4/2018 10:15 pm : link
he REALLY hurts on O.

Early in year 2? I don't see much of a player.
Ball looks a little sharper...

I actually think he's a decent defender. His length is a real asset. But he certainly wasn't drafted to be a stopper.

His shooting has improved after being atrocious last year. And he's going to benefit just by the mere fact he's playing with LBJ. He's gotten cleaner looks and has had more space to operate in.

I still don't see this great difference maker. If anything, my guess is the Lakers wish they drafted De'Aaron Fox, who is off to an outstanding start with the Kings...
Wha does this have to do with football? Does he play FF?

Who?

Does he ride the pine?
I hope he develops enough

to put in the package for Anthony Davis.

Haha, sure. You may have to lower your expectations a bit. Maybe Enes Kanter...

I'm partly joking  
JonC : 11/5/2018 9:07 am : link
but here's hoping Magilinka sell their arses off and get it done.

One of the biggest problems with dealing him, aside from the fact he’s an incredibly flawed player, is obviously his father. Who the hell is going to want to deal with his nonsense? Especially after his son gets traded from the only team he wants to play for. Way too much headaches, IMO.
Potential deal figures to center around Ingram or Kuzma

Thank god you're here, officer!
I can’t imagine Davis to the Lakers happening

Unless the Celtics are flat out not interested in Davis, because they can blow any offer out of the water.
AD switched to LeBron's agent

When Lebron signed with LA..... he tanked 2018 on purporse so he can team up with Leonard and Davis for 2019. I still believe this will happen somehow.

Signing everyone to 1 year deals was a no brainer and now they will have a lot of cotnract left open.

Ingram, Kuzma, and Zubac plus howmany first rounders to NO for Davis.

Signed Leonard as a FA.

Ball
Hart
Leonard
James
Davis

and a bunch of ring chasers off the bench.
I think Leonard was probably #1 when he wanted out of SA  
JonC : 11/5/2018 9:36 am : link
but suspect that will change by go time, and there's talk KL doesn't want to play second fiddle to LBJ.
Lonzo's shot  
Kyle in NY : 11/5/2018 9:48 am : link
looks much improved and the percentages bare that out. It's not easy being the PG next to Lebron and he's seemingly done a decent job of adjusting. He's still a very good passer and an above average defender.

Will he ever live up to the #2 pick. I have my doubts. But he should be a solid pro. He's already made significant improvements a year into his career.

Now Tatum being taken with the next pick makes it look worse. But at least it's not Philly trading up for Fultz, who literally has the yips on his jump shot.
Was trash

Ha!
He's alright, but #2  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 11/5/2018 6:49 pm : link
overall good? I don't think so.

I liked Fox better than him in college & stand by that.
