John Collins shooting 12% better than Dirk in their sophomore seasons.
He’s going to be great. Very impressed with his effort particularly on night 2 of a B2B.

They're really not.
Grant Napear is not that well liked in Sacramento for his off-commentary persona, but he's pretty much universally acknowledged as calling a fair game.
Napear/Reynolds has been consistently one of the top 10 team broadcasts for the last 20 years. Nothing like Heinshohn.
Then they had a really off night.
To trade for Davis after we find out if you get a top 3 pick?You'd have a valid point if we had traded Markkanen for Ntilikina, but that never happened.
I'm quite happy with Markkanen/WCJ/LaVine and our pick this year opposed to the Knicks cap space and crap.

I'll say it, this draft is top 4 maybe 5 heavy. But the top 3 very juicy
Yes there is.Perhaps.
But there are several infamously poor commentary teams, and they're not one of them.
I don't give a s**t what Davis wants.Davis wants LA.
We will hopefully draft Zion to go with the other 3 and if we don't get the 1st pick then I want Ja Morant.
Why single him out? Most of the Lakers team are putrid from the foul line. It has cost them games this season. The coach doesn't even know if they're practicing from the stripe, so they're probably not.
well it is the WORST % in the NBA so theres that...
Why single him out? Because he's shooting 42 percent from the FT line.
He averaging a whopping 1 free throw attempt per game (48 attempts from 47 games) so far this season. Him shooting the percentage he does vs. him shooting an average percentage is costing him maybe 0.6-0.7 points per game. Hardly mindblowing.
It's mind-blowing that given he can't shoot he only shoots one free throw a game, so he can't shoot nor drive.
Lucky he's still young and probably 3-4 years away from even entering his prime, and has plenty of time and resources available to improve his shooting to a serviceable level, eh? If Ason Kidd (who was still in college at the same age) can do it, Lonzo can too.
As a general comment, why does this expectation seem to exist that Lonzo should somehow be the finished product already, and that by not being so, it's somehow shocking or disappointing, and that time is running out for him?
Massive difference between Jason Kidd's shooting form and Lonzo's shooting form.
Nobody said he was a finished product but to be as absolutely offensively putrid as he is currently is worrisome.
*So many infractions...
Did I miss something?So many infractions...
You're living in the past.
Obviously the form isn't good, but I think his issue is shot selection as much as anything else.
A comparison between Ball, Kidd, and Ricky Rubio (another similar type) at the same age is interesting. Their numbers are pretty similar, with Ball possibly even having a slight edge in terms of turning the ball over less, as a rebounder, and an all-round defender.
The glaring difference though is where they take their shots, and how often they get to the line (3PA rate and FT rate). Ball takes more than half his shots from downtown, and very rarely gets to the line. Why? Is it a product of coaching and gameplan, is he "hiding" somehow (avoiding contact, being soft and passive), or is he just not playing to his strengths?
It moreso comes from the media than people here, but there seems to be this urgency somehow for him to be good. Is it just because it's the Lakers? Is it because of his father's hype job? Is it because they essentially gave up D'Angelo Russell (who is showing out nicely in Brooklyn, and is only 18 months older) to get him?
You need to factor in the importance of the 3 point shot in the modern game. If you’re a guard who can’t shoot mid 30’s from 3, you better be exceptional at other aspects of the game, otherwise you’ll have a short career.
