Lonzo right now is not tough enough for the NBA. You don’t need to be big or muscled. Think Michael Cooper and Derek Fisher. Skinny guy, small guy but both very tough. Ball wants to play on the perimeter and shoot and pass like Magic did. But Magic crashed into the lane creating assist options or then backing away to shoot outside. Ball is intimidated right now but he has a little time to get tougher.
I thought Lonzo was the special rookie on the Lakers….oh well, at least daddy Lavar is on the All-Bragger first team by a unanimous vote.
