What is with this myopic view? I 100% agree he needs to improve his shot but his offense at UCLA wasn't solely as a shooter... he was used primarily off-ball with a lot of cuts to the basket. Lakers tried to use him as the primary halfcourt ballhandler for a while, and he was fine, but nowhere near as comfortable. Guess what? Lakers just got two of the best halfcourt ballhandlers in the league.

So what is Lonzo good at right today? Pace, defense, rebounding and of course getting the ball where it needs to be. That's why he was picked 2nd. All the other dudes can score, but no one on the team can run the break better than Lonzo.
