However, I haven’t heard anything from his father since being in NO. He came in with a huge bang, and seems everyone (including Lonzo) is tired of it.
He is NOT a pick and roll guy. That's why I didn't think he's a fit with Zion, who imo should be used (at least early on) like prime Amare Stoudemire, and that's why I think he'd be mostly an off-ball player here in Dallas. He's just not a great fit for this system as a ball-handler, imo, but might be an upgrade over Richardson in a similar role.
But none of that even compares to the simple and obvious truth that involving his father with the franchise, even in a minor, peripheral way, is one of the dumbest things this team could possibly do next. I get that this doesn't bother others (don't get why) but I will never be able to get there.
