I just can't discount development.

I never saw Kidd being a good 3pt shooter. It happened.
I didn't think Kevin Martin would have a long NBA career with that shooting form. It happened.
I didn't think Steph Curry was a PG nor would he ever have the type of handle that facilitated it in the NBA. It happened.
I thought Hassan Whiteside was a complete bum. Now he's a fringe allstar.

These guys eventually develop if they're committed. And I see Lonzo's situation as very fluid for him to develop. He's good at everything but shooting. He can work on his handle and shot. Plus he'll get stronger so that'll help as well. Magic is in his corner. His dad's ego won't let him not push Lonzo to be better. And his game is built around making his teammates better in a 'flashy' LA sort of way.

We know the internet likes 'hot takes' and OKP likes agendas but Lonzo is going to be fine IMO and probably one of the top PG's in about 2-3 seasons. 3rd or 4th year is when I expect everything to hit but you'll see it coming more and more by yr 2.
