This is probably a really weird thing to say after we pulled off a huge win in his absence, but I gotta put it out there. Lonzo Ball is my favorite current Laker. He’s the engine for our team, and when he’s at his best, I find him more fun to watch than almost anyone else in the league.
If his offensive game wasn't so infuriating he'd easily be an all star, because his D and passing drives this team.
It's a tough call for me. Lonzo playing lockdown D and moving the ball like crazy, or Kuz when he gets in the Kuz-zone.
I love BI when he drives to the hoop one on one. It's like the trainwreck you can't take your eyes off
Zo is nice, but just too much to correct. Kuz is nice but if he's not an offensive option, he kinda disappears. Rubberband Man for me all the way. He's plug n play and a legit 2way once that jumper becomes true. Worked on attacking the rim and getting stronger...check Worked on free throws knowing that it's part of what comes with heading to the cup...check (14 fts for a 21 year old...make them refs respect yo game bruh) Now you gotta work on your core to help with the 3ball and better defensive slides (btw, he and Hart frustrated the f*** outta Cp3 haha) Also, you gotta attempt at getting more vocal and not relying on your drip to make a statement. Any guy I try to save in an AD trade...it's him by far!
Man, at the beginning of the season, Ingram was the runt of the litter and the first to be thrown under the bus. He's been our most consistent, improving, healthy player this year, keeping our head afloat. Nothing to take away from Kuz's amazing scoring explosions, and Lonzo's impact on the pace and defense, but Ingram has really come into his own despite everyone's criticism of him not making a big jump. He's worked hard and did't let distractions get to him. Compare his first three seasons with the likes of Giannis and Paul George, pretty similar impacts across the board. Weirdly, it wasn't until their 4th years they really made a jump. If we hold on to our youth and just add another max star, we could really make noise when our kids put it together.
In case any of y’all can’t understand what RonStu means here, I have teenage boys, and can understand a significant fraction of what they say, and would be happy to translate. I’m here for you my brothers and sisters of the purple and yellow. And keep posting RonStu; you provide a good balance to us cranky old f***ers.
Yes. And being that they all enjoy each other and want to stay in LA where they were drafted certainly they will give hometown discounts come first big contract time. Oh wait.
I also agree that adding another star and keeping most of our young guys is not a bad idea. But we have to get that star somehow.
Zo's time is running out. Holiday's on the record saying he wants to play the 2spot. Zo and Jrue with that perimeter defense would be ridiculous. Zo's camp aka Loudmouth LaVar better not f*** up AD for us!
