Why don’t NAW’s 3’s go in?

Never seen anyone miss off the heel more than this kid

Either too hard of a shot or too much arch. They're bouncing out way too much.

The dangerous combo of being a terrible shooter and no being afraid to launch

Everything about his offensive game looks so good and so smooth...except the shot doesn't go in

He’s just in a slump. Gotta shoot out of it

Naw is 3-14 FGs and 0-7 from 3pt so far

A three season slump?
I mean the guy has taken nearly 400 threes as a pro and connected on barely 34%.
At what point are people going to stop extending the benefit of the doubt based on a Summer League three years ago and acknowledge this is who he is? An ultra streaky, high variance, trigger happy shooting guard?

I'll also just say it, Lonzo plays this game tonight opposite Graham and we win by 10.

Because he looks a lot better than he used to. He’s creating for teammates and being able to finish at the rim a lot smoother than we’ve seen in years past. It’s still just his 3rd year, and he missed a lot of time last year. He’s still learning how to play. Give the kid a chance to develop, he’s showing promise.
Zion being out is making us blame the wrong guys. This loss isn’t on NAW despite a couple ill-advised shots. Atlanta was at full strength, they’re a much better team than us and we still almost pulled it out.

Forget about Lonzo. We were never giving him 20 mil a yr. never! so drop his name. he was stat chasing last year. Im happy hes the 4th option and excelling in his roll. But its early. Chicago is soft and time will prove it.

Because his mechanics are rubbish
One of the most odd releases I've ever seen
Just look at how smooth Devonte's release is. That's how you become a great shooter

I get that you’re stanning hard for Lonzo for whatever reason. But this ain’t true.

The ironic thing is I’m not even the biggest Lonzo fan, but the NAW excuse making is getting ridiculous.
He’s been bad.
We had the discussion about where our back court ranks, and NAW is single handedly keeping it in the low 20’s.
Below average defender and 38% and 30% on the season.
If he wasnt on this team we’d be clowning the frick out of him and talking about how we need to let him shoot his team out of the game as our defensive strategy
I get people like an underdog story and it probably explains the enormous chasm in how quick people were to look for any fault in Lonzo and any excuse they can latch onto for defending NAW, but NAW has been straight bad

I’m not denying that. But you’ve made a few big time lonzo stan posts tonight.
And if you simply swap out lonzo and naw, we don’t win by 10.

Let’s put it this way. Of the starting guards in the league, only Oubre, Smart, Dort, and Suggs are shooting worse than NAW.
And the thing is, NAW is not a rookie like Suggs, and unlike the rest of those guys, NAW can’t defend worth a shite.

His point was if you start Lonzo + Graham and then NAW comes off bench we win. And I think that’s 100% true. Lonzo on this team would be a lot more useful than last year. Graham and Jonas provide enough scoring that Lonzos shooting, above average defense and IQ would have helped. Lonzo isn’t great but he’s a smart player who knows how to play the game. We don’t have nearly enough of those.

Lonzo can defend and is currently 46% from the field and 43% from three. NAW is 35% from the field and 25% from three.
Tell me why this team still loses this game if you push NAW to the bench and are starting Lonzo???
It’s not Stanning, it’s accepting the reality that we are not a better team with NAW starting at SG. Which was the argument many wanted to make and to justify walking away from Lonzo.

Thank you. His shot mechanics are horrible, and his dribble game isn’t tight enough. He’s too loose with the ball and gets tunnel vision wayyyy too often
Posted on 10/27/21 at 11:14 pm to Bronc
Lonzo is dog shite when he’s expected to be a top 1-2 playmaker or point score on a team. He’s doing fine in Chicago because he’s currently the third option. Should actually be the 4th option and will settle out to that over the course of the season. He makes no huge difference on this team this year.
Posted on 10/27/21 at 11:26 pm to TackySweater
He was a third option last year and would have been a fourth or fifth option this year, and plays notably better defense than NAW; what is your point?
If you say he thrives in that role than you are proving my point exactly, this team would in fact be better off had we just retained the asset that is Lonzo, signed Graham, and let NAW develop as sixth man and maybe one day NAW takes the leap, or maybe not. But yes, we would have likely won this game, which is what you are trying to argue me against.
