You guys have been so amazing and supportive since the beginning. I don't get a chance to comment on every kind word that you throw my way, but I see them and they keep me going. Thanks so much.
One thing I notice is that he is open on a lot back door lobs but the ball handlers never seem to throw it up to him something his UCLA teammates where great at
Lil Dagga I notice Clarkson typically misses a lot of passes. He's more of a drive, disrupt the offense, and find the open man kind of passes. On the open floor his passing vision is kind of bad.
Lonzo's defense is definitely underrated. A lot of people just think he's lazy or terrible because of that game against Fox. He might not be the fastest but he knows how to use his length well which just shows how good his IQ is. Once he gets stronger I think the defense will be even more versatile since he won't get pushed around against bigger players. I would like for him to get better at staying in front of faster players though but that will probably come with more experience.
Pete, again a very informative video and great breakdown of the game. Has there ever been a point guard with lonzo's blocking ability? Also, why is the national media ignoring Lonzo's obvious positive help on the defensive side?
Because they are Haters...Why would they say Good things about Lonzo...IT does not support their Argument...What can you do...There will always be Haters and Trolls...
Actually the comment above me should stop using the word hater. It kind of take away basketball from the game and make no different from the mainstream basketball channel like espn and tnt who is more like a drama channel than a actual basketball channel. Lonzo game is unqiue in today game because of his length and his tempo pace. People tend to forget how defense are confused when he goes around with his dribble. He take up spaces which create open spaces for his other 4 team mates to operate. I admire his unqiueness. If lakers can surround lonzo with a few more well rounded players like aron gordon, david west, shaun livingston, al horford. Lakers can do alot of damage in offense. If paul george really do sign with LA next year, lopez, george, kuzma and lonzo is going to be a force to be reckon with.
That weak side overload out to counter the trap that you showed blew my mind. Such a simple adjustment had such a big impact on the game. Very cool stuff man.
This was the first time ever (I never watch the suns game where Lonzo score like 29 btw) where I actually felt safe when Lonzo was in the game. Like I noticed I was counting the seconds until Lonzo was subbed back in. Usually when he's subbed in I'm just like ok we're guna have a faster pace and Clarkson can stop 1v5ing the offense now but this game, I caught myself actually wanting Lonzo to get as much play time as possible. The offense was just running so smoothly this game with him. And it also helps that his shots were falling. Great game, just wished they'd made their free throws and limited those turnovers.
I feel like he's so good at everything else, that if he can get his shot to fall, the lakers, as well as zo, will be a force to be reckoned with in the future
I see what you're saying about the short rolls, at the same time Randle never really sets a solid enough screen he more so just throws his arms out or pushes the points defender which more times than not led to a trap. Don't know if his IQ is where it should be, I'd personally rather see Kuz get more minutes than Randle. Loving the content man, keep it up!
Man, that's a loaded question. To his credit, he focused on the defensive end in training camp, and it's really paid off. The Lakers are better on defense than I could've possibly imagined. But I don't think there's enough ball/player movement on offense, and I don't love his rotations. Julius Randle shouldn't be getting only 6.5 minutes more per game than Corey Brewer does.
Laker Film Room I have a personal opinion on randle. Remember last year when he ripped a rebound out of nance hands and elbowed him in the face and didn't even apologize? I noticed a lot of the young Lakers don't like him. Clarkson is the only one I've seen who seems genuinely excited for him and Lonzo and kuzma never look at him in his eyes. Do you think luke just doesn't like randle personally and their trying to figure out a way to win without him and still trade him ? I know you be super busy but I really appreciate you answering my last question and if you can't make it to this one I totally understand
I didn't know that about Randle. I don't really follow the Lakers. I started paying attention because of Lonzo. It's interesting that you mention about Clarkson being a supporter of his. On the basis of what I saw on this video they seem to have really poor on court chemistry - really down to Clarkson's inability to pass the ball out of the pick and roll. Don't know whether he's just afraid of a turnover or what? He has an obvious aversion - on the basis of the examples shown here - to passing the ball in a pick n roll.
Make Humanity Great Again yeah imo Clarkson is trying to be the lead scorer. He constantly overlooks open teammates. Him and randle both have their game and their gonna play it regardless
Laker Film Room I read that as Randall didn't have a clue n Zo still passed the ball in anticipation of what he thought Randall was going to do as opposed to him seeing what Randall was actually doing and that Randall had not yet turned to face him. Lonzo should have continued dragging the defenders backwards by not picking up his dribble until Julz had turned into postion. That was a turnover on Luke for not giving Lonzo n Julz enough playing minutes together. Zo n Julz were killing it and (minus the pop) could have ran that pick n roll Stockton n Malone style until the wheels fell off. Bucks had no answer for it on defense.
You are a big man in a pick and roll, if the pass hit you and you couldn't catch it, it's your FAULT. Especially since the of is lonzo, you know the pass is coming.
It felt like we were winning that game most of the way but we just let it slip through our fingers. Zo was clearly the best player on the court for The Lakers Saturday night. Luke probably should have played Tyler Ennis instead of Vander Blue.
Ryan Knapp agree vander blue doesnt get the job done and clarckson shoud not play the point position as i saw in the 2nd half he does not have the iq that a pg must have
I know Kuzma has a great offensive game. But is it possible to do a comparison of where LNJ is missed on the defensive side. Far as reading plays, and assignments.
Expert analysis as always. I totally agree with your analysis that Randle should be getting a lot more minutes than Corey Brewer. Brewer is an energy guy off the bench but his mental miscues are negating his effectiveness. The pick and roll chemistry between Zo and Julz needs to be exploited game in game out...
Randle keeps turning his back to the ball handler on pick and rolls. The one time he opens up to the ball handler, he pinned the guard... Is this a habit of randle's? Or was it just the few clips you showed of the short rolls?
I won’t pin the game on a single player because everyone made mistakes. But from watching this video, Julius randle didn’t show up tonight. He made allot of mistakes and if he was his usual self they should of won the game
Well nvm I take that comment back, the dude scored 17 points on like 57% fg. He played well, but as a side note how come only 9 players played in the rotation for that game. Wtf is Walton doing, trying to cause injury?
Team needs to learn to play off-ball. Mainly Ingram, Clarkson, and Randle. Too many iso's and not enough ball movement. If we can't score in iso, the offense looks a hot mess. Just lucky we have Zo to create for others. What we playing now is not Warriors type of ball movement.
I would much rather listen to YOU then any of those people who consider themselves SPORTS ANALYSTS!
Please keep up the good work.
You guys have been so amazing and supportive since the beginning. I don't get a chance to comment on every kind word that you throw my way, but I see them and they keep me going. Thanks so much.
been waiting for this fam💯🔥

Lil Dagga not saying Clarkson is the only person to have missed the lob opportunities but ya
Two rookies were carring their team in this game. It is really rare to see
Part of that is because their team is young as a whole anyways
I'm pleased with this content. Keep up the good work young man!
I'm not even a lakers fan but your content is just so good that i still watch every video. Keep it up👍
Watching you for the first time. Excellent work, man. Really really great work. Insightful film session.
I love this channel
Nice video. Good job on Locked on Lakers podcast.
Lonzo ranks 42/450 players on defence in NBA! That's great!!!

Amazing Video
Ur great keep it up!

All haters can kindly sit down. This kid will be vicious.. right in front of J kidd too. Epic boy keep it rollin
lol
5:00 Look at zo bodying up the freak, good shot zo

You deserve way more subs than you have
nice
I like this guy dude is smart
I learn more from one of your videos about our offensive schemes than any of those dumbass analysts on TV.
Keep up the work man!
5:03 Bucks go up 86 points by a missed jump shot, crazy.
I'd really love your opinion on whether lukes doing a good job coaching. My favorite channel on TH-cam 💪

Agree , the Lakers D is great. It's good that they focused on it initially. It helps them keep the games close even against great teams.
when Lonzo hits Julius on the back you "yelled at the tv for this one". Yelled at Lonzo or Julius? thanks and videos.
At Randle. He's supposed to turn around immediately and then you have a 4-on-3.
Laker Film Room

You are a big man in a pick and roll, if the pass hit you and you couldn't catch it, it's your FAULT. Especially since the of is lonzo, you know the pass is coming.
always at randle. someway or another he finds a way to fuck things up
When rolling you're not supposed to run away from the ball-handler with your head turned....
Kyle Kuzma is one of few players on the Lakers that actually has gravity on offense
Make more exciting videos bro...thumbs up
#lakerfanhere
It felt like we were winning that game most of the way but we just let it slip through our fingers. Zo was clearly the best player on the court for The Lakers Saturday night. Luke probably should have played Tyler Ennis instead of Vander Blue.
Ryan Knapp nah vander blue is better
Ryan Knapp agree vander blue doesnt get the job done and clarckson shoud not play the point position as i saw in the 2nd half he does not have the iq that a pg must have
I know Kuzma has a great offensive game. But is it possible to do a comparison of where LNJ is missed on the defensive side. Far as reading plays, and assignments.

You mean to tell me there is more to basketball than FG%? GG
And he had a another triple double
7:54 lonzo effect. Aggressively trying to get turn over led to predictable pass for kuz to steal
We lost this game because of Luke, once he subbed off lonzo we started losing smh
lonzo would have 22 assists a game if lopez could make a 1 foot shot
man, Lakers could really use you.
BTW, Thomas Bryant was killing it in G-league.
Perhaps, he will replace Brook in a short period.
Randle keeps turning his back to the ball handler on pick and rolls. The one time he opens up to the ball handler, he pinned the guard... Is this a habit of randle's? Or was it just the few clips you showed of the short rolls?
Kuzma is becoming a better passer too
Anyone know why we haven’t been wearing purple on the road at all this season?
1:05
thats why got traded... no court vision
So surprised Clarkson missed him...... lol
8:42 is that not a travel by Kuz? one step then 2 step gather
I won’t pin the game on a single player because everyone made mistakes. But from watching this video, Julius randle didn’t show up tonight. He made allot of mistakes and if he was his usual self they should of won the game

First. Fire video btw.
Can we like.., clone you and make your clone a spurs fan? Would be greatly appreciated thx
Here's a quick breakdown. They lost.
