He can handle the ball, and defend. But that shooting element that's missing is a really big deal. And his health is questionable.
As a freebie (on a buyout), he probably won't hurt. But I think he's way more desirable from afar than if you have to watch him play every day.
Lonzo was a 39% 3pt shooter for 3 seasons before his injury. This year not so much.
I still think he’s shaking off the rust and obviously adjusting to playing on his reconstructed knee.
But I don’t think lack of shooting% will stop Nico from targeting him if he thinks he can be a good enough playmaker.
I am locked in on him not only because of the fit, but also the Kidd+Laker connection too.
