    Not a good offensive game but Lonzo is one of those guys that does things that won't show up in the box score.

    He was super engaged defensively once again...and his rebounding is important to us at the guard position because then he can push the ball up after grabbing the board.

    Hi IQ, great teammate and cog in the machine. Be interesting to see how that is valued come contract time. Stuff not in the box score matters to wins, losses, and the coach, but the box score stats seem to matter when it’s payday.

    I’m glad nobody fell for that.

    Is he still playing? His career highlight will probably be that he got a TRYOUT invite IMHO. So few athletes make it, so that’s no slap in the face, but it seems so lame he had a signature shoe and was driving a vehicle he couldn’t afford in a million years.

    If he was believing his father’s hype, hopefully he doesn’t go off the deep end and still has a productive life.

    But but but geniUs and U belong in the same word, so of course they'll be in the same sentence, dUmba**.
    :Semicrazylance:

    Speaking of U...you're "wishing" that no one figures out you're anon. But I did. You wanna know how? Cause I'm a mother******* genie-yes I am! And no, you can't wish for more burner accounts to hide behind cause you out of them. So stop trying to rub me off bro. That's between U and Bron.

    I think this is a good comparison...

    Lonzo will likely end up being the Draymond Green of point guards.

    He will be key to a team’s perimeter defense, can initiate an offense and good with the hockey assists but won’t ever be the typical playmaker that can breakdown a defense and create for others...

    All he's gotta do to be capable there when needed is keep improving his handles. He's quick and crazy fast after a few steps. He's got to be up there amongst the fastest guards in the league.

    Uh... actually... yeah. I mean, I don't know for sure how he will end up, but it's an interesting comparison that - for some strange reason - makes sense. Thanks for that!

    I have been thinking the same thing because of his 10/7/7 stat line last year, but I sure hope he'll be more than that.

    The effort Zo showed on defense last night alone covers for some clumsy plays on offense and finishing around the basketball. He has such an amazing sense of timing and basketball instincts on defense.

    I was real pleased with how he played overall and thought the ankle would hinder him a lot. I was wrong.

    If Zo really is exactly like Dray, then wouldn't that make Zo a masochist?

    Live look at Zo and Dray's next meeting...

    these are Rubio's stats for his 1st 3 seasons
    10/8/4 on 37%/32%/80%ft.....Rubio was also known for his D early in his career. So Rubio was a lesser rebounder but better ft shooter than Zo.

    I loved his aggression tonight. A few too many TO's and some ticky tack fouls, but he kept us in the game when we were struggling.
