Official 2017-18 NBA Season **spoilers alert**

I think he should start of the bench for a few games just to see how it goes let his minutes gradually increase, plus he is what a 19 year old rookie playing the toughest position its a scary thought with all the great point guards in the league gunning for you.
Lol imagine what Lavar would say if he was starting off the bench

The weird thing is he actually usually has pretty good +/- ratings. It would be interesting to see if that changed with the 2nd unit.
I'm ready to call him a bust. He can't get his shot off anyone when it really matters and defenses will just keep getting better against him once the scouting reports keep pouring in. Even guys who could shoot the ball with good shooting form have needed to adjust their mechanics to shoot it fractions of seconds faster to adjust to the NBA, like Kemba Walker. Lonzo's shot just stays in his hands for way too long. He's not athletic, he gets pushed around because of his build, and I've always thought his passing is over rated. Jason Kidd had no jumpshot when he got in the league, but you could see that he was really special with his passing and court vision. Lonzo's a bust and should be riding the pine.
Yeah your right he can be efficient at times the passive part is the pressure & expectations it looks like when he misses a shot his down in the dumps which makes it worse he is no Magic Johnson, geez he aint even close to Penny Hardaway in my opinion.
Yeah Lonzo is definitely struggling. Even his one good game against a Suns team that was getting demolished by opponents by like 40 points. And Lakers barely won that game by 2. He isn't even the best rookie that the Lakers have. I said it before, Kuzma is the real deal and I think ROY would be between him and Simmons given the opportunity. But I'm liking this crop of rookies, they are a deep draft.
Just finished watching the lakers/philly game and i must say Lonzo looks very out of place just non existent. Also with Ingram-kuzma playing well is having an effect on his performance. Early in the 4th lakers took the lead everyone was off the bench and Lonzo was the only one sitting. This slump could last longer than we all think.
I don't even think you can call it a slump when he never seems to ever have a good shooting night. NBA players at this level have a few bad stretches but they bounce back. Lonzo is getting worse and his confidence is shot. I just think he's better off getting 10-15 minutes as a back up instead of a starter. Sign a veteran point and show him the ropes in game situation. He's just not ready at this level.
Still early in the season but LeBron has quietly put up some of his best numbers of his career or very close to them. Best FG, FT, assists, rebounds, blocks..near career best for his 3FG. The man will move up next to Dirk for 6th all time on the scoring list this season and his best attribute isn't even scoring. Ask most people who they consider is the pure scorer from LeBron's year and they'll say Melo and yet Bron has about 5k more points than him.
