Funny thing is most of these are bigger players trying to post him up thinking it’s a easy bucket but then he jumps higher than them and sends their shot back into their face 🤣
jonel santiago fuck harden but I mean everyone gets lucky little love taps and harden actually gots offense he can shoot and it goes in the basket know what I mean😪😂😂lmao make me laugh has lonzo scored a triple double with 60 points😨😱didn't think so bitchhhhhh😂🖕
I don’t see how people can say he had a bad rookie season. He had really good rookie numbers. Dude is great all-around player on both sides of the ball, mad underrated defender also.
People who looked at Lonzo's shooting numbers and inability to score were the ones saying he had a bad rookie season. People who watched him play and looked at his other stats know he's a good defender, great passer, and good rebounder and tried to point out how rare it is for a rookie player to be that good at those areas. If he's an average shooter, Zo would be a top 50 player overall and top 15 at his position.
Wtf Lonzo isn't even a perimeter defender. He's great on help day. Man to man coverage is below average. I analyze the game quite often. Casuals wont understand the difference.
In today's narrative.. all they care about is who can put up more points and if you cant shoot your a bust. Which is sad.. because like you said, shooting is his only weakness at the moment. His basketball IQ is insane on both ends on the floor. He's far from being a bust.
Kem Koeut Plus people rlly just expect every point guard to dominate in the scoring department since A.I. came in.I am not saying i blaming him for that.And of course the hype his dad make is probably the main reason for this.Again no hating on my part.
People gotta realize we haven’t seen defense from a rookie PG like that in a long time. Lonzo is gonna be on a 1st team all defense soon. Just wait on it 🤫😈😈
No, Lonzo was 2nd team all rookie. Lonzo probably doesn't even have a spot on the lakers no more considering how stacked the lakers are. Rondo - Lebron looks great. Lonzo needs to focus on his scoring. But that wont happen cuz he is trash
Lonzo is doing all the "old skool" things...playing D at all times, playing in a team format, understand his role as a PG. Not saying he's the only player doin it at the moment, but these are his core values you can tell. Can't say that about the majority of young players, or even older players that are established.
No, that's just John wall turning over the ball due to help defense. John wall is one of the league leaders in turnovers. The rest is john wall just missing shots. Wall isn't known for his shooting anyways. Did u even see how Wall easily got infront lonzo ball?
He reads the passes like he’s a CB in the NBA instead lol, his IQ his high for his age and only his 1-2 season, ppl only cares about ppg but lonzo can do everything else cuz he’s an all around player not no scoring machine like KD or Curry, Zo likes his teammates involved and his defense is outstanding for his position,hopefully he keeps this up this season
How this boy swipe every time and not foul. That boys accuracy/instincts/timing is off the charts. I have Lonzo and Kawhi 1st team all defense already.
The scary thing is, his mind is really in a lock down mode. He is really good defensively. But if he ever gets to like that Kwahi level....dear lord he might be the best defender in the league, but right now I'd say he's a top 10 defender..
Can we send this video to all major sports media outlets to let them know there is more to the basketball that just shooting. Lonzo rookie season 20 years old, his shooting will improve. He is going to be a beast, because his IQ , passing and defense are going to be elite.
BeingWokeTV stupid ass ... dont nobody think he is pat beverly... he is better ... lonzo ranked 3rd in defense for ALL pg’s including beverly as a rookie. Nd finished top 20 in defensive win shares nd also was leading ALL pg’s in blocks before getting hurt... so its ppl like you tht dont know anything tht just likes to hate a ppl. You know nothing about basketball dumb ass . 💯💯
Here's the thing. Lonzo needs a lot of work on on-ball defense, but most of that will come with increased strength. He gets pushed around a lot by bigger players. HOWEVER, if you watch him regularly you'll notice that his off-ball defense and defensive IQ are phenomenal. There's a reason why Gary Payton ranked him as the 4th best defensive guard last season...
Extremely underrated defender, its not that hes super athletic its the timing and the way he reads the game as its unfolding. Going to be all star calibre in the coming years baring injury.
Awesome vid bro. Nice touch including some clips of that broccoli head. Man he just needed cauliflower ear and a carrot nose to complete the california vegetable blend.
Lonzo understands that defending isn't about pure athleticism, it's about patience. Look at 1:47, Lonzo anticipates a shot and is in the air *way* before Monroe even brings the ball up. And when he jumps in the air, he's not mindlessly swiping at the ball, he has his arm out and is just waiting for the ball to go up. It's why when he is defending Harden, he almost never fouls the foul magnet himself.
This is just what people just dont see when they watch Lonzo. Just waiting to see him fail just because he isnt a cosistent shooter in his first year eventhough hes a great passer, great on ball defender and crazy good help defender. His IQ bball IQ on both sides is crazy. He'll surely be in the All Defense team one day and might even be a DPOY. Just needs more cosistency also on defense. You catch him sleeping sometimes which some of his blocks also him responding well after sleeping but that already shows he'll get that very soon.
Raaah he blocked dame lillard, Blake Griffin, kyrie irving, hames harden, CJ mc collum, demarcus cousins, Anthony davis, klay Thomson, John Wall, Jay len brown, manu ginobili....
Murray has had some nice defensive games but not the one's where he and Zo played each other. Zo got the best of him and had some of his better games against Dejounte. Wish him a speedy recovery.
At exactly 6:00 On the Time , I think Brandon Ingram or Somebody else. I Think i saw On the Right (Idk about the Left Arm just Rewind) Right Arm Has another Arm Sticking Out, Also In NBA 2k19 WHy is Lonzo Ball is at 78 Overall?????? Make Him tleast 83 Or More NBA .
Ok can we get a quick reality check? Lonzo started 50 games, played 1780 minutes, and got 88 steals and 43 blocks. Decent numbers yes. Not great, but it does show that he is giving effort on defense. Dejounte Murray (2nd year) started 48 games, played 1743 minutes, got 97 steals and 31 blocks. Donovan Mitchell started 71 games, 2638 minutes, got 118 steals and 27 blocks. If you add the blocks/steals up Murray and Lonzo had similar impact, but when you watch the games you realize how much better Murray is on the defensive end. Like Lonzo he struggles with the 3-pointer, but Murray shoots MUCH better overall and can actually make Free Throws. Donovan Mitchell played some solid defense as well, while adding 20 pts a game, got to the FT line and sank 80% of his FT attempts. No question his impact was significant as a rookie. So before y'all schedule that jersey retirement ceremony for #2 Lakers PG you should watch some other good young guards play and see how many play solid defense. Then look at which of them are efficient and actually contribute to wins on a regular basis. Lonzo is a good player with potential, but he is not nearly as good as y'all trying to say he is.
Do you realize Zo played some of his best games against Dejounte Murray, even hit 6 3-pointers in a game where he was clutch down the stretch hitting 3, 3-pointers late. These are Zo's stats against Murray in 2 wins. 1/11 Spurs - 18pts, 6asst, 10rb, 4stl, 3/3 Spurs - 18pts, 11asst, 7rb, 2blk, 1stl
Here's the video of Lonzo vs Dejounte Murray. I think he's hurt right now but wishing Dejounte a speedy recovery from h achilles tendon tear. Here's their match up last year. th-cam.com/video/201AcBLBAjQ/w-d-xo.html

Funny thing is most of these are bigger players trying to post him up thinking it’s a easy bucket but then he jumps higher than them and sends their shot back into their face 🤣
it's not about him jumping higher , it's about his reading and timing. Pure IQ
Even Kistaps Porzingis :D
Mamba funny thing is he ain't got no shot doe💀😴😂
Matthew Garcia funny thing is James harden got his shit WHACKED
jonel santiago fuck harden but I mean everyone gets lucky little love taps and harden actually gots offense he can shoot and it goes in the basket know what I mean😪😂😂lmao make me laugh has lonzo scored a triple double with 60 points😨😱didn't think so bitchhhhhh😂🖕

It’s just people who hate on his dad tbh
True it’s only because of his fg% 3pt% and ft% which is terrible but he still has a long time to develop into a great
because he also just so happened to be in the same rookie class as donovan mitchell, ben simmons and dennis smith jr. Bad timing if nothing else
@@ZakuIIX you can argue MITCHELL and ben Simmons, or else he is better then all those bums 😂😂😂😂
Crazy to think he did all that in his rookie season.
His IQ is just off the charts.
What IQ? He's literally playint average D. For those of you who dont know how to analyze the game. Lonzo is having alot of help playing D.
BeingWokeTV “Average D” you’re watching with your eyes close. You ain’t woke nigga
@@BeingWokeTV Show me 10 better perimeter defenders than Lonzo, I'm waiting.
Wtf Lonzo isn't even a perimeter defender. He's great on help day. Man to man coverage is below average. I analyze the game quite often. Casuals wont understand the difference.
@@BeingWokeTV He's great at help, good on ball, again show me 10 better defenders.
That last play on Wall always makes me lol
the last play of the video is actually hella good defense, he knew that wall was gonna try to look for contact
Shooting is literally the only hole in Lonzo's game yet people thinks he's a bust lol he's gonna be a star
In today's narrative.. all they care about is who can put up more points and if you cant shoot your a bust. Which is sad.. because like you said, shooting is his only weakness at the moment. His basketball IQ is insane on both ends on the floor. He's far from being a bust.

I predict he will never make an all-star team. He will probably be a 15/8/7 kinda player, which is ok, but not a "star". Just my opinion..
How many pure defensive players sell shoes and jerseys nowadays?
+Ling Qi Thats so irrelevant lmao but just so you know, Lonzo was #24 in jersey sales last year while in his rookie season. Just sayin
Tb to people calling him "the worst defender in the league" from game 1 last season... This why yall ain't scouts
piratelord89 nah we call him the worst player in the league fym tell ya boi to get a shot😢😴😂😂
tell the rosy to get a shot shhhhh, ben simmons can't knock down a jumpshot for his life
@@matthewgarcia6614 at least lonzo can hit a jumper from time to time, simmons on the other hand.
People gotta realize we haven’t seen defense from a rookie PG like that in a long time. Lonzo is gonna be on a 1st team all defense soon. Just wait on it 🤫😈😈
Didnt he make it already, he just didnt due to injury
Ball is amazing Ntilikina too
No, Lonzo was 2nd team all rookie. Lonzo probably doesn't even have a spot on the lakers no more considering how stacked the lakers are. Rondo - Lebron looks great. Lonzo needs to focus on his scoring. But that wont happen cuz he is trash
@@BeingWokeTV Fuck out of here
Uriah A guys he stupid i bet he a fultz fan TrUsT the PrOcEsS head azz
Lonzo is doing all the "old skool" things...playing D at all times, playing in a team format, understand his role as a PG. Not saying he's the only player doin it at the moment, but these are his core values you can tell. Can't say that about the majority of young players, or even older players that are established.
He's fast as hell.
Zo is deceptively fast because he looks slow.
And he’s 6’6 😎
He seems fast but is really slow. Fox is faster and better!
BeingWokeTV boy
BeingWokeTV trash
Quick hands, quick feet, good size, good instincts
Exactly
Lonzo locked John Wall down 😭
No, that's just John wall turning over the ball due to help defense. John wall is one of the league leaders in turnovers. The rest is john wall just missing shots. Wall isn't known for his shooting anyways. Did u even see how Wall easily got infront lonzo ball?
BeingWokeTV whatever helps you sleep at night lmao you can’t deny Lonzo lock his ass up
Cant wait till they trade him. You casuals are hilarious!
lmao a rookie locked up the 'best two way point guard' in the league, what a fucking joke. fat ass john wall bout to head to the g league
that 9:34 by a rookie...
Under appreciated. Love this mans defense
He reads the passes like he’s a CB in the NBA instead lol, his IQ his high for his age and only his 1-2 season, ppl only cares about ppg but lonzo can do everything else cuz he’s an all around player not no scoring machine like KD or Curry, Zo likes his teammates involved and his defense is outstanding for his position,hopefully he keeps this up this season
Lonzo blocking top players? Woah!
thanks for uploading this. zos is a top 15 pg soon to be top 10.
RaiXVortex then top 1
amazing plays by this dude
9:33 that was so smart
matonolo Beal was wide open in the corner lmao
Finally, a Lonzo Ball video/commentary I agree with. His best asset is his defence and he's worth having around for that alone.
Lonzo has nicely developed into a 3 and D guard with above average play making
He has that basketball IQ for sure
Love this. Shows the kids that Lonzo plays both sides of the court. What an all around game
After seeing this, I can safely say that Lakers are gunna be one good team this year.
Love your videos man
Best defensive pg in the league.
ELITE DEFENDER . This was a pleasure to watch.
His length really contributes on his defense. goodjob zo
How this boy swipe every time and not foul. That boys accuracy/instincts/timing is off the charts. I have Lonzo and Kawhi 1st team all defense already.
His focus and determination to guard. He never relaxes. Good defender.
A rookie with high IQ 🤙🏻
Can you do marcus smart flopping
it shd be super funny
I don’t have THAT much time in my day
Stiff Back (because that would be SUPER long)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marcus Smart - Flourishing Flopper
Lonzo be smacking that shit
The scary thing is, his mind is really in a lock down mode. He is really good defensively. But if he ever gets to like that Kwahi level....dear lord he might be the best defender in the league, but right now I'd say he's a top 10 defender..
Could you do a video about Kyries different types of crossovers throughout his whole career? Thanks for all the videos man they're gods work
Can we send this video to all major sports media outlets to let them know there is more to the basketball that just shooting. Lonzo rookie season 20 years old, his shooting will improve. He is going to be a beast, because his IQ , passing and defense are going to be elite.
Why u didn’t show Lonzo lockdown defense like strapping the players up not just blocking but great video
it's harder to get that stuff, so this is the best I can do and why I emphasized how good his hands were
That's because Lonzo isn't a lockdown defender. He's a team defender hunting for blocks and gambling for steals.
@@BeingWokeTV he is a good lockdown defender. He showed glimpses of that his rookie year but I agree he is an even better team defender.
All of a sudden media hyped Lonzo to be the next stephen curry and now they are fooling casuals to thinking he's some sort of Patrick Beverley lmao
BeingWokeTV stupid ass ... dont nobody think he is pat beverly... he is better ... lonzo ranked 3rd in defense for ALL pg’s including beverly as a rookie. Nd finished top 20 in defensive win shares nd also was leading ALL pg’s in blocks before getting hurt... so its ppl like you tht dont know anything tht just likes to hate a ppl. You know nothing about basketball dumb ass . 💯💯
When he jumps it’s like he stays in the air lol I’m a ky fan but I love wacthing lpnzo when he is running the break
i straight up just became a Lonzo fan cuz of this video
All the ball brothers have amazing IQ
Nick but their father had bad IQ..
i love his defence thats what we Lakers need for the wins
Off the chart IQ and great defender.... that's a great combo
Here's the thing. Lonzo needs a lot of work on on-ball defense, but most of that will come with increased strength. He gets pushed around a lot by bigger players. HOWEVER, if you watch him regularly you'll notice that his off-ball defense and defensive IQ are phenomenal. There's a reason why Gary Payton ranked him as the 4th best defensive guard last season...

His anticipation is crazy
2017-2018 Rookies is so Good they are all Good! mark it
Awesome vid bro. Nice touch including some clips of that broccoli head. Man he just needed cauliflower ear and a carrot nose to complete the california vegetable blend.
He's really good in defensive mode :)
He can do almost anything, once the whole jumpshot situation gets figured out he will be a solid player
He could be the next gary payton
Woah I think can be a great defender but gary Payton that is a bit much.
easily
His defensive timing is of the charts...
That last play
Yo finally we got a Laker on this channel
Kobe and Lamar...??
Recently, I meant. My mistake
@@EvinGualberto could you do Jrue Holiday lockdown?
Yimba Iyoko it is actually in the works
Megumi hahah, well I did Clarkson and Randle last season but those got taken down
@2:08 perfect example of Lonzos game. Good defender, excellent passer.
Lonzo understands that defending isn't about pure athleticism, it's about patience. Look at 1:47, Lonzo anticipates a shot and is in the air *way* before Monroe even brings the ball up.

Just needs more cosistency also on defense. You catch him sleeping sometimes which some of his blocks also him responding well after sleeping but that already shows he'll get that very soon.
Thank you man
I didnt kno this side of lonzo...even if his shot doesnt improve(which it has) hes still valuable for being a "defensive dynamo"
Great video man!
That 99 play recognition!
Believe it or not, its the LAbronzo combo that makes the Lakers go.
LONZO TIME
lonzo Help D Is Criminally underrated
They say lonzo is a bust but most of the players he block are super stars
Just wait 2 more seasons he will be an amazing player
That last play was pretty smart. Knowing john wall will force to draw a foul.
The problem with the NBA is that the expectations for rookies this days are wayyy too high
DATTT BOIII LOCKED DOWN THE BOY Porzing
6:43 *99 play recognition gimme that!*
Chris smoove voice
G.O.A.T COMMENT
It seem like people get too hyped over other parts of lonzo's game but dont pay attention to his defense. He's a great defender(1-3)
He one of those players that are just hard to blow by
Lonzo pushes his left arm on the waist, but he puts his right hand up so the ref doesnt notice. 👌👌👌
Raaah he blocked dame lillard, Blake Griffin, kyrie irving, hames harden, CJ mc collum, demarcus cousins, Anthony davis, klay Thomson, John Wall, Jay len brown, manu ginobili....
maxi geering yeah in his rookie season
Great vid
Bruh his defense is nice no cap
actually murray in spurs also get nice def. sadly, he got injured from the preseason.
Murray has had some nice defensive games but not the one's where he and Zo played each other. Zo got the best of him and had some of his better games against Dejounte. Wish him a speedy recovery.
All of this from just one season
Dang he just blocked kyrie that’s crazy that almost never happens
I think if he focuses more to his defensive side, he will find his own great way to impact the game.
Flash in real life, he's so fast what a great hand!
I want Zo in spurs he fits perfect
Hella high IQ
And his brothers play 0 defense..
I wish ill be like him someday
He held opposing PG to 30% FG this year.
Best point guard in the league
If he averages 20 points hed definitely be top 5 in his position
block god
At exactly 6:00 On the Time , I think Brandon Ingram or Somebody else.
I Think i saw On the Right (Idk about the Left Arm just Rewind) Right Arm Has another Arm Sticking Out,
Also In NBA 2k19 WHy is Lonzo Ball is at 78 Overall?????? Make Him tleast 83 Or More NBA .
This kid is really good... high IQ, great instinct... just need a good coach who knows how to use him..
Can you do one for Shane Battier? One of my favorite defenders in the league🙏
How did he even defends like this as a rookie against TOP players of the league
Lonzo is the reason lb went to l.a.
He’s gonna have a nice long average career in the NBA. Future looks bright
He is clever
Ok can we get a quick reality check? Lonzo started 50 games, played 1780 minutes, and got 88 steals and 43 blocks. Decent numbers yes. Not great, but it does show that he is giving effort on defense.

Literally a tall Jason Kidd
Can't believe people had the nerve to call him a bust lol the kid is clearly is nasty as fuck
Who else read the titles and said “aye yooo”😂😂
Everyone reading this look up the channel rub ballers. It’ll show you everything you need to see about his defense.
