The Case for Lonzo

So personally i have been thinking about lonzo and how he has been playing lately and let me just say he is in no way a bust and he is going to be special.

I think we can all agree that the reason lonzo is having a hard rookie year is that lavar has been speaking out so much. not that anyone has a problem with lonzo himself just what his dad has said. so not only does he enter the league with the weirdest jumpshot we've seen in a while but now he has a huge target.

Pat Bev on opening night went all out on him and he thought he was "Doing him a favor" and he might actually be right. See the thing is hes getting top level defense against him basically everynight and even though hes faultering give it a year. I promise you after all star break he will start to become used to it and the Lakers will know they have no playoff chances and they will let lonzo run the offence even more. When this happens he is most likely to adjust and he will become comfortable.

Plus he does not have a NBA ready body just yet. When he gets a NBA body he will become better at driving and kicking and this will make defenders sag and then when they sag off him he will have better oppurtinuties to shoot 3's and after this he will start getting his teamates better looks.
