those splits are pretty good! and theyre great for lonzo, he still cant do anything as far as driving to score tho
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 15:10 (three years ago) link
maybe he turns out to be a 3 and d guy who is also very good at passing, assuming he stays a decent 3 pt shooter which is pretty dicey tbh
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 15:12 (three years ago) link
still at like 1.2 FTA per game. his counting defensive stats are on the decline but his offensive numbers improve every season.

you know what i dont understand is the pelicans have the worst defense in the league but they have all these guys who are supposed to be good defenders: lonzo adams bledsoe ingram some of their bench guys seem like they shd be able to play d idgi

zion obvs a very bad defender but also he shouldnt be hes the strongest and most athletic person in the world and moves his feet like a guard
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 15:18 (three years ago) link
Gotta think Zion will be a plus defender in 2-3 years max, he just has to learn the game and how to conserve his mental energy out there

yeah the thing about the passing its hard to make good passes in the halfcourt if youre not breaking down the d, maybe in more of a 3 n d wing role which he conveniently has the size for his passing can come into play attacking closeouts, a situation where the d has already been broken down for you
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 17:17 (three years ago) link
having those ball handling and passing skills could be very valuable in a role playing wing where in a point guard you kinda just need them
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 March 2021 17:18 (three years ago) link
Yeah when I think of the 3 and D archetype I picture corner 3s but Lonzo off ball would be better served up high

re: lonzo, stan van said that he wants him to be a point guard in transition and a wing in the half court, and the brandon ingram/zion tandem is more than enough to create offense without a traditional point.

jimmy averaged 21-9-9-2 in feb, at 28-5-9-3 in march so far. he fell off ppl’s radars bcuz he was banged up at the beginning of the season and then missed 2 weeks with covid but he’s low key reinvented his game and is having the best season of his career. sixth in the league in PER behind jokic, embiid, giannis, kawhi and zion

i think all those guys deserved it over him at that time but of course none of them are as good/impactful. but yah def that type of 'snub' is the kinda thing that fuels guys like him.

Is luka gonna do that Jokic thing where he comes to preseason all fat and then plays into shape over the next 4 months? Until one day 6/7 years into his career he’ll finally decide to start taking care of his body year round.

i might suggest that at least some of the time these centers are open from 3 not because the defense wants them to be but because they are being guarded by centers, who tend to be bad at guarding the the 3pt line, also! if youre getting open looks and can knock them down at good rate then take them, who cares if the defense wants you to, lol theyre wrong
