Lonzo intrigues me, but I don't really know too much about him beyond what I had read in his early days in the league TBH. I see his FT% has climbed up to 76% from 56% last year and his 3PT% has steadily climbed each of his 4 years to 38% right now. He's a 6'6" PG with the rep of a creative passer and is still only 23. That all sounds good. Two questions to anyone who's been looking at him - how is his defense? And why do his APG's seem low for someone with his rep (5.6 APG, good for 27th in league, right behind Kyrie), is it scheme? Interestingly - and unrelated - Jaylen is 55th in the league at 3.9 APG - trailing Hayward at #54 with 4.1.
The reason why I bring Bell up is that I think a creative, pass-first guard who can defend is sorely needed on this team. And, yes, Marcus covers some of this ground, but I just don't think he's a consistent answer as he's really a chaos agent at his best. The team needs some easy scores and someone who can reward hard-working cutters, etc. He's been mentioned before, but I never got a handle on exactly what his warts are at this point and why he shouldn't be on the C's radar (and, of course, it might just be needing two to tango and/or contract).
