Lonzo Ball is dead last in FG percentage and FT percentage in the NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

[@FirstThingsFirst]

Who do you think will win Rookie of the Year this season?

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright Ben Simmons.

[@domisib]

Ben Simmons, no doubt

[@legoatjames8363]

Lonzo Ball

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

Ryuk The Shinigami the name explains why u would say that. Guess ur smart.

[@jarnbee]

Ben Simmons or Jayson Tatum.. If Lonzo was a 2nd round pick I wouldn't call him a bust but for a #2 overall pick, Lonzo Ball is a bust

[@palap8]

the spit at 1:49 had more pressure and arc than Lonzo has 💀

[@BurstieCS]

Im so dead

[@wherevinoat]

PGs that aren’t threats to score just won’t cut it in today’s league

[@ballinglikeimtobe4920]

Rondo, Rubio, Beverly, Smart etc?????

[@lastresort3188]

Balling Like I'm Tobe Rubio, Beverly, Smart are backups and Rondo is a meh player. If Lonzo is like those guys, he will be a major bust.

[@ballinglikeimtobe4920]

LastResort318 his upside is higher than all those players I was just proving a point. Lonzo is already an excellent play maker, rebounder and plays good Defense for a rookie point guard if you watch him contrary to what the media says

[@ballinglikeimtobe4920]

Andre Bryant my point is you don't have to score to be on the floor or affect the game

[@ballinglikeimtobe4920]

Andre Bryant that's irrelevant to my point

[@negativebq]

Anyone see him spit when he said "pressure"

[@connorfischbach8147]

"My boy is better than steph curry!" Has the worst shooting percentage in the league

[@ImposterCurry]

Its the fact he has a lower FT% then DJ and A Drummond.

[@robertodimas7429]

Stephen Curry than

[@buttkicker900]

who shoots more FT's? thats a significant part of increasing your percentage

[@Zblaze95]

buttkicker900 lonzo barely shoots free throws cuz he don't be driving to the rim

[@buttkicker900]

Zblaze95 so then why are we comparing their respective FT percentages? Drummond and DJ have been in the league significantly longer meaning they've had more people pushing them to correct their FT's plus the more you shoot , the more rhythm you obtain soo it's not fair to compare their FT percents

[@legendcarter3451]

buttkicker900. I feel for u laker fans...sike naw

[@victorcontreras5703]

Nick’s that annoying guy in class that asks a question or makes a comment about everything the teacher says.

[@panner11]

In this case, the teacher is senile and still thinks there is illegal defense in the nba.

[@phineaslookingforward5007]

[@princekelvin6476]

😂😂😂

[@stevenkoja5]

Bruce Lee he talks like magic johnson

[@CreekCityDave]

This problem with Lonzo's shot is not his form. Does he have the prettiest form? No. But he's been a fairly decent shooter his whole life. The issue is in his head. He's lost all confidence in his shot and he's shooting timidly.

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

SpittLinez it's that form, that's why LeBron was mocking it before he was drafted. That form isn't going to work in this League. Too slow.

[@MrJL0622]

He is now playing in the NBA ! Playing against the best ball players in the world . It's a whole different level from the school.

[@CreekCityDave]

Whether Highschool, AAU, College, NBA. A wide open shot is a wide open shot. He's missing everything now from a disproportionate rate than ever. Hitting contested shots in the NBA is significantly more difficult, of course. That doesn't explain wide open airballs and bad misses. That's a mental thing.

[@AccurateShooter]

Yes the form is bad. First and foremost the ball is held by his left ear so it isnt even directly in his line of vision. The ball is slung left to right -- you can see this on his free throws. He also releases low and the trajectory is too flat. ALL of this should have been fixed in HIgh School. As an NBA point guard he should be shooting 80% plus from the free-throw line. In four weeks you could train a high school girl to shoot 70% plus from the free-throw line. The fact that he is not corrected his free-throw shooting indicates to me that he is out of touch with reality, and does not have the personal fortitude to do what it takes.

[@jberczi6]

You're right. He's never going to be a good shooter at the NBA level, but playing in his top form, he's much better than he's been performing this year. He needs to up his effort level and defense intensity to keep a spot in this league though.

[@209chevymon]

[@keidmaster]

[@Sora-fj1dh]

Cause its not all about shooting?

[@Sora-fj1dh]

Other stats for a reason

[@buddybrown5213]

There's way more to basketball than just shooting. Plenty of all time greats who couldn't shoot.

[@larsvassenjansen1651]

You got that right, i wouldn't have the punk as a G-League reserve.

[@FoSheezyMikeezyDoot]

How long wil, it take for people to finally accept hes a bust?

Dont let this distract you that warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the nba finals.

[@wusselrestbrook3217]

Did this dude just say "illegal defense"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what world u living in bruh

[@princekelvin6476]

It was a rule back in the days

[@shotokhan1992]

deharleyva that only means you have to be in arms length of a player to not get called for three seconds in the paint. you can leave perimeter players wide open if you want, so what he said was wrong.

[@dathunderman4]

😂😂😂😂😂😂bruh what you doin bruh did you jus start watching basketball bruh how you not know what an illegal defense is bruh

[@Jstef09]

Illegal defense is still technical foul in the NBA. Simple explanation is that you can’t be in the paint without guarding someone. I’m with Tretch, if you watch basketball... how do you not know 😂

[@buttkicker900]

you can't sit in the paint yes. the illegal defense he was referring to was staying within arms length of the offensive player which is no longer a rule

[@wusselrestbrook3217]

Lonzo "Air" Ball is living up to his middle name. 😂😂😂

[@bellabana]

Lonzo was overrated & overhyped by the media from the beginning. Instead of 'waiting' to see how he'd play in the NBA the media instead claimed he was the next superstar before he even stepped on he court. College basketball is not the same as the NBA. The media needs to STOP talking about him until he actually warrants attention for actually being a good player, not just for the sake of it!

[@jonquist7089]

bellabana his dad ruined it for him. tried to copyright his own son. If I were lonzo I'd tell my dad to keep to himself

[@jrsmith1998]

But he is also missing layups so I guess he has to change his layups to

[@kalimurhimabisimwa854]

Lonzo Ball shooting 23% from 3... Josh Jackson 27% De'Aaron Fox 26% Fultz wouldn't even attempt 1 Isaacs 29% Frank Ntilikina​ 24% D. Smith Jr 28% Monk & Mitchell 33% are the only guards above 30% Apparently, these rookies can't shoot..but you only hear about 1 guy.🤔

[@abualzuaree]

You can thank Lavar ball for that.. putting all that hype and pressure on his own kid

[@champagnemari5399]

Fultz is injured and the rest of those guys aren't lottery picks. To whom much is given, much is required. Duh.

@1:48 Chris Carter... You sir CAN'T CONTROL the tic tac you spit out your mouth while trying to say pressure!!!

[@trooperjoe73]

Kawhi Leonard was asked to change his shooting form, as soon as he was drafted by the Spurs.

[@rice3820]

Kowhi leonard was drafted by the pacers dude

[@wesgutie1342]

1:47 nice arch on that little spit lol

[@zurvey]

The Spurs shooting coach, Chip Engelland, changed rookie Kawhi Leonard's shooting form, and Leonard grew to be a fantastic shooter. Kawhi has a fantastic attitude, though, and is humble and willing to learn.

[@zurvey]

It doesn't matter how Ball shot in college, the overall increase in both height and quickness in the NBA means defenders get to you more quickly than they did in the NCAA. Consequently, it is super important that players have a quick release. Ball's slow shooting form at the NBA level means he has to rush shots, causing him to shoot poorly and lose his confidence.

[@GhouZ29]

It takes 2:56 for Nick to start gargling on Lebron

[@jeffcavanaugh9986]

I️ want them to start showing us the highlights they’re generally talking about during these clips on KZbin. It would make the already high quality video, top notch.

[@snak_dog]

Big Baller Bust 😂😂

[@dirty3102]

Are his Shoes still worth $500 ? They should do a segment on that

[@korysingleton4869]

It should be consensus that his abysmal shooting is a giant concern. So what if hr gets 7 rebounds per game? Hes a point guard. Point guard rebounding has never been an important stat until last year because it was westbrook's only claim for mvp. He gets most of his assists from outlet passing. He cant playmake in the half court, etc. If you cant score at the pg spot, something needs to be changed.

[@vaughnevans7495]

The tv host comparison is HILARIOUS😂😂😂

[@Who_You]

Someone from First Things First please tell Chris to stop saying "alright" every sentence. He needs to fix that the same way Lonzo needs to fix his shot

[@wuxiagamescentral]

He is John Stockton without the FT% Fg% and defense

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

I like Lonzo , but he's not a leader, he's too passive. I knew it by how he never took charge in his interviews, his dad basically spoke for him. Now that his dad is not around u can see in his interviews that he's shy and passive. If he had his dad's personality he'll be a very good pg. He needs to take charge.

[@PoeticJustice05]

Ronald Williams he's actually very articulate and smart in his interviews.

[@bolog_mesandwich1697]

Lonzo isn't playing bad, everybody just has higher expectations from him. There was so much talk about him, with his brother already in the NBA, they were already looking at him for a while and his high school & collage game was better then his brother's. With all that behind him people expected more out of him and he just ain't living up to all that hype. But he's not doing bad at all, especially for a rookie. The same thing is already happening with their younger brother LaMelo, he's not out of high school yet and is getting even more attention. All this attention get them feeling on top of the world, and their confidence just takes off. In an environment which they have gotten used to, and are comfortable in, that confidence boost could take them to newer heights. As you can see, LaMelo has had such a confidence boost he end up hitting 92 points in one of his resent high school games. The hype he's getting now is off the charts. All anyone is going to be thinking is "not even Michael Jordan nor Koby Bryant accomplished that in their high school years, and they turned out among the greatest of all time. What will this kid's future hold in store" All the hype is only going to leave people disappointed if his stats don't compare to the greatest.

[@Scarface_iii]

Illegal defense isn’t a rule no more

[@globalgustavo98]

“SHAQ!!!!!” IM CRYING

[@storminmormn6283]

The "illegal defense" comment is another reason why Cc is a trash basketball analysis

[@arizonaFIREent]

Storminmormn6 I doubt you're more knowledgeable

[@nafeesevans943]

deharleyva CC said you have to be within 3 feet of the shooter or it’ll be illegal defense.. that’s false. The original poster’s comment had nothing to do with 3 seconds in the key.

[@panner11]

Cris even described what type of illegal he was referring to, which clearly wasnt defensive three seconds. It's the one that the league removed 15 years ago.

[@OregonOffense]

panner11 apparently CC thinks zone is illegal like the 80!s and 90’s. Why does he do basketball?

[@kingajames2]

Illegal defense was once a real thing. A defensive three-second violation, also known as illegal defense, is a basketball rules infraction in the National Basketball Association (NBA) introduced in the 1983-1984 season.

[@dosu767]

These guys aren't screaming and hating on each other. refreshing!

[@sergiosantana5570]

Nick Wright is a wanna be Skip. Lonzo wasn’t brought in to put up 30+ a night. He was brought in to make the plays

[@note2owns]

You know who you have solely to blame for people ridiculing Lonzo's game????? His dad. Lavar set the bar too high, and Lonzo's performance, which for most rookies would be passable, is just not living up to Lavar's hype. Lonzo never once said he was gonna be the next greatest player in the NBA, its all his dad.

[@47lowend]

Lonzo Balls problem is media pressure from constant coverage. Give the man a break. Philly playing real good right now.

[@sebastian16hp]

1:48 Carter for 3!

[@TheCephalon]

Koby managed to change his shot. He never used to kick his right leg out when he shot early in his career. He also switched from the ball rolling off his middle finger to his index finger

[@Fsunolesnation]

People really comparing him to Rondo obviously don’t know that Rondo could get to the rim and finish at will. He had handles and made defenses collapse freeing up his teammates. He also was great at passing so don’t compare Lonzo to Rondo cause don’t make sense. Rondo couldn’t shoot and HE DIDNT HAVE TOO LOL. Like he still in the league cause his game adapts too wherever he goes.

[@MarvFitBikesKicks]

I’m no professional, but I’ve adjusted my shot several times applying proper shooting mechanics and my shot has only always improved. Lonzo must change his shot, that form is terrible.

[@genejordan6248]

so make him into rodman

[@jknight9613]

Gene jordan are you slow?

[@UKRSHEV]

Rodman was an athletic freak and could actually score inside. With the increase in pace, peak Rodman would be averaging 25 rebounds per game in modern NBA.

[@joshf-w9602]

HahahahahahahahahahahHahahahaha Rodman was 7 times all defence first team, Lonzo will never ever reach that level

[@lamiasaeed6105]

So we are talking about trash PG again, seriously there are half a dozen rookies better then him out there.

[@darcphat]

5:17 I don't think they have an illegal defense rule in the NBA anymore CC. Just defensive 3 seconds in the paint.

[@floridafishguy7925]

The kid can't even finish at The Rim. The shooting technique is not the problem. It's psychological

[@parallelsunset]

Florida Fish Guy not too many other point guards have an offensive play that sets up an alley oop jam. Not too many others can chase down block Kyrie Irving. (One of the best finishers in the league.) Everyone needs to start actually watching the game and stop listening to people who clearly do not know the game. Ball has shown more athleticism and leadership than D-Lo already. Shooting is definitely a problem, but I also remember a rookie Kobe Bryant that average under 8 points a game.

[@pacificoponce946]

Florida Fish Guy wrong if im in the nba i csnt even finish a layup or shoot 3s..so do i havr psychological issue? no im just a bust

[@wcsstudios1]

Illegal defense isn't a thing so long as nobody spends three seconds in the paint without actively guarding someone. Teams could leave Lonzo wide open all game if they wanted to, but they wouldn't do that because he can score when he's wide open and as a defense you wouldn't want him to be shooting with confidence.

[@larryg9274]

Why not just change the name of this show to the "LONZO BALL HATER SHOW." Every day you're pimping Lonzo Ball. Yes, Lonzo has perhaps the lowest shooting percentage in the league, but the Lakers are currently in the 8th playoff spot despite starting two rookies and a 2nd year player who is only 20 years old. Lonzo is a big part of that turnaround. Stop focusing on what he is not doing well, and give credit to how he has helped to change the Laker culture from a team who accepted losing and played ZERO defense to a team that tries to win every night and is one of the top-ranked defenses in the NBA!

[@baselinejordan1744]

Larry G spoken like a true laker fan 😂

[@MultiCardsfan1]

Larry G Sorry but that’s a stretch my man. Lonzo needs work there’s no getting around that. You can like a player and admit they’re underperforming. This comment just looks desperate.

[@GabeTheGreat]

Warren Pricefield Thank you! It's OK to admit someone needs work.

[@obamasbrother_8977]

Warren Pricefield yes his shot needs work, but he’s leading the team in assists and rebounds per game with 7. He has two triple doubles(almost three) and we’re 8th in the West. Just imagine how good he’s going to be when his shot starts to fall more...

[@GNBasketball]

Lakers were 10-10 last year after 20 games look how they ended up lakers right now are 8-10 if they dont win their next two games they are on pace to be worse than last year and thats without injuries now imagine if kuzma, clarkson, ingram, randle or caldwell pope get injured then the lakers are really in trouble.
