Agreed. But I think he is always going to have that curt, only minimally conversational, guarded way of answering questions. Not my favorite by any means when athletes are being interviewed. We can live with it though because as everyone says how he is with his teammates.
We have a couple of guys that will never make the Magic Johnson all interview team. Julius looks at imaginary birds flying by during interviews lol
Yall wanna make Zo a killer. Bring in a vet starting PG and tell Zo to go earn his starting spot back. That's the best way develop dude imho. Must be gif'd or it doesn't exist.
Duck hunt that s*** and have Jules bullish laser stare shoot them down. You do that...you the s***. Till then you ain't as gif'ted as I thought. Plus you got a couple weeks to kill till your grace arrives to rule his kangdom. Unless of course, you can't take on such a project cause you need more time. It would look kinda weak if you couldn't complete it before Bron made his "Decision".
I'm not saying it's a mandate... All I'm saying is that it would be good for him and ultimately us if he earned his spot. Kob was a HS player and obviously a youngn that didn't have college exposure. Sure helped his development and MambaMentality to come up off the bench.
I get you, but circumstances just didn't dictate that for Lonzo. When Kob got here we still had Eddie so you could pretend Kob needed to sit and learn. With Lonzo, who was going to start? Caruso? The Lakers tried to go after George Hill and Rondo, so they agreed with you probably. Now though it's too late. You demote him after handing him the role and that'll f*** with his head. Shave his minutes back maybe, but he's going to be your starting guard. Also keep in mind, LeBron is going to want that kid in the starting lineup. Ramona brought it up too, but if LeBron comes it's to play with someone like Lonzo, not whatever Room Exception PG we'll be able to find.
But still needs lasers haha.. @therealdeal I feel when the FO was trying to bring in Rondo last summer initially to backup Zo (in an attempt to showcase our youth for 2018 FAs), but with Zo's injuries it would have led to a starting gig and Zo would then be eased back into the starting rotation.
Ridicule all you want but in 1979, 1984, 1994 and 2003, the 3 point shot was not the dominant play in the NBA. Now it is. If a guard can't shoot in this league at this time, especially from deep, he becomes easier to neutralize. IE Ben Simmons when he played against a coach who knows how to coach, even with rookies and young players.
