He shot 45 FT% his rookie season, 41 FT% (Jesus!) his sophomore season, and he’s hitting exactly half of his free throw shots this season.ĭevil’s Advocate (sort of): Lonzo’s True Shooting percentage has improved each season!. He’s shooting 55% from the charity stripe over the past month. It is VERY difficult to trust a player who shoots free throws as poorly as Lonzo does. The problems with Lonzo continue to be his free throw shooting, and his finishing. Over the past month, he’s been 51st on the ESPN Player Rater. He’s been a top 150 fantasy player on the season, but he’s really turned it on lately: Since Christmas, Ball’s scored three triple-doubles, and he’s averaging 15+ PPG, 7+ RPG, 8+ APG, and he’s shooting better than 40% from the floor, and 37+% from three. He’s shooting 39% from the floor this year, which is a little bit worse than last season, but better than his rookie year (36 FG%). He’s dishing 6+ dimes, and grabbing 5+ boards, and he’s maintained his 1+ steals per game (he’s averaged 1+ SPG across all three seasons). He’s averaging his most shot attempts per game (11.7 FGA per game) and his most three-point attempts per game (6+ 3PA per game), while shooting a career-best 35+% from deep. Lonzo’s now 22 years old and is playing his third season in the NBA. Remember him? Remember his dad? Remember how strange Lonzo looked playing next to LeBron? We’ve spent a lot of time talking about Brandon Ingram this season, so let’s look in on one of the other young players traded to the Pelicans from the Lakers for Anthony Davis: Lonzo Ball.
