Let's start it... Warriors going for a back to back and 3 out of 4. Yikes for Gordon Hayward.

his shot will get better, he just turned ****ing 20. He might have to make some adjustments, but he's a hardworker from everything i have read. Kid will put in work to make himself into an all around player. The Lakers team overall is really really young.

that will change next offseason if Magic has his way. Hes going after veterans all those young players will be pawned off or renounced to make room besides Lonzo. Lakers will be older very quickly.

He is an okay shooter. He's played, what 12 games in the NBA? He played 36 in college and shot 55% FG, 41% 3FG, and 68% FT.

An accurate prediction probably lies between 55% FG from college and the 31% shooter he's shown in a meager 12 games in the pros now.

He'll come out of it.

He's no Marcus Smart. Marcus Smart sucked at shooting in college, sucks at shooting now. Brad Stevens is too big of a pussy to tell him to stop ****ing shooting 3's and the media doesn't give Marcus Smart shit for shooting 29% or so for his NBA career.

It wont get that much older. They are doing it the right way. Let the kids play, they are going to get better, then bring in a veteran that brings them along the rest of the way.

They are in a great spot for alot of years to come.

Eh, LA has two targets and they'll need to move one young player to make them both fit.

LeBron and Paul George. They have room for one max and they'll need to get room for a 2nd max in there somehow. So they'll go to a team in the east that has cap space and nothing to do with it, they'll offer the rights to Randle and a 1st in 2019 along with Luol Deng to get Deng's ferociously reeruned contract off the books.

Then they'll roll with LeBron, George, Ball, Clarkson, and Ingram as the starting 5 after letting KCP and Lopez walk. They'll have Nance, Kuzma and Hart coming off the bench with an easy fit in the salary structure. They'll bring in a veteran big man to suck up fouls and keep Zubac and Ennis as relatively benign, cheap backups.

The remaining 4 guys will be some combination of veterans that roll into town to play with LeBron and PG13.

If that duo doesn't come to fruition, they probably try to bring back KCP or Lopez and almost certainly don't dump Randle (instead they'll probably trade him for an asset and use the stretch provision on Deng).

It's not going to get THAT much older.

Yeah, it'll get better.

My point is that it HAS to for him to even become a genuine asset. And it has to get a damn lot better for him to become a star.

Laker's fans need to stop hand-waiving that busted-ass jumper of his. That's not doing anyone any good.

O.city · 11-13-2017, 06:21 PM

Man I dunno

Not many guys improve their jump shot that much at that level. That's a muscle memory Thing.

He is still really young but fundamentally it doesn't look very repeatable

-King- · 11-13-2017, 07:27 PM

Lonzo will get better but he'll be a rondo/Rubio type player. He'll never be a scorer if he doesn't change how he shoots and his aggressiveness.

He will be a much better shooter than both of those two, easily. Just because it looks funny doesn't make it broken.

It's just a mechanics issue.

He can, but who knows if he will.

It's just his shooting mechanism, guys change that all the time, must be easy.

Said no one

**dirk digler** · 11-13-2017, 08:53 PM

Lmao Lebron with the 3. Knicks were up 21 until that shot. Awesome game

He can do it in the offseason, easy.

He can change his shooting motion in the offseason? Is that what you're saying?
