Lonzo Ball - Underrated Defense (Defensive Highlights)

[@thelonzoera3566]

Uploaded all Lonzo’s 3 pointers for this season if you want to give it a watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqu4pKx7fduHpKM

[@marfigue777]

Lonzo ball is a head coach dream because he brings so much to the table but most people just think about points but basketball is way more than just buckets

[@PabloOlmedoJr]

Lonzo reflections is like cat.

[@shortshighlights88]

Yeah way better then Draymond green

[@BigDr0p1]

Pablo Olmedo Jr. lonzo’s reflexes are like a cat?

[@undo7711]

They called him a bust because he ain't that pg's who were explosive scorer like westbrook and the similar players. Most in the league gave too much attention on offence than defence.

[@KhangNguyen-bl3xc]

KarateKID Pinoy in draymonds prime, lonzo would be nowhere near him. U talking about the 2017 dpoy

[@Ren-rd5xy]

he should make the all-defensive team for sure

[@devcon28]

He will this season

[@caila8504]

What is that

[@高宇中]

He’s a great defensive player and playmaker. What a point guard should be. PGs shouldn’t be the primary source of scoring, they should be the playmakers and help on defense. If they get points, wonderful, but too many people are under the impression that guards should do all the scoring.

[@kjung2526]

Yep shooting guards should do majority of the scoring !

[@GrayFebruary]

I say the same thing all the time. If your point guard is averaging 25-30 points a game, he's not a true point guard.

[@quandadon395]

@@GrayFebruary curry this year is averaging around tht....not real pg?

[@vladimirklizschko9337]

But if you dont have any scoring threat its way harder to playmake for your teammates but you dont draw extra defenders and break up the defense

[@高宇中]

@@vladimirklizschko9337 Tell that to Draymond. People literally leave him open at the 3 point line, yet the change in the Warriors since he and Steph have been united this season has been drastic.

[@holpcs2]

I'm not gonna lie - this video gives me an appreciation for Lonzo Ball. I wasn't so much a Lonzo hater as I am really a Donovan Mitchell fan, but I really like the hustle he shows in this video. He's got a new fan in me. Thanks for this video!

[@thelonzoera3566]

Yea man he does a lot of things that don’t show up in the box score. Also prayers for Mitchell 🙏🙏

[@Embowafa2004]

Ok so... I’ll say this. Best defender in the league, one and two, maybe the first defender, aside from “shot blockers”, that revolutionized defensive tactics. What he’s doing is entirely technical and instinctual. He’s killing the passing lanes!!! He plays with Zero expression on his face making him virtually undetectable, and the kid knows the game inside out. I stand by my word. The Lakers made a mistake when they traded him. Kid can ball! Go Lakers but this should sting a bit!

[@nguyenhiep6425]

if they win the chip then theres no mistake

[@MrJRDOT1]

It’s not instinct. He knows exactly where the ball is going. His IQ is off the charts. Also, he’s hecka scrappy and knows what the best thing to do in every situation. He strips a lot of big men going up and is a menace off the ball. I’d hate to gameplan against a guard that roams like he does with that sort of IQ. He’s almost like the guard version of Draymond. He’s everywhere on defense. Perfect for the modern NBA

[@smartassname9981]

He is a great defender but I must admit Jrue Holidays on ball defense is out this world.

[@psbetter5838]

@@nguyenhiep6425 ok then when LeBron leaves in a few years then what? Lonzo is going to be a great top 10 player in a few years

[@justntime4758]

Smart Assname they had jrue on Luka against the Mavs and Luka was working him! They assigned lonzo on Luka and Luka slowed down! Then start calling the switch to put Jrue back on him! Both good defenders! But lonzo is a bit quicker and possibly better with his hands.

[@myzo247]

Bruh imagine lonzo ball playing defense on the jordan era where hand checking is allowed.

[@iblameabel]

Ron Harper equivalent.

[@tristann3895]

Lonzo is a quick smart defender with great court vision, a guy who is always willing to pass the ball and a player you need to win a Chip.

[@NithinlalSobhanan]

And they called him a bust

[@zType2]

A lot of "analysts" said it too.

[@brandonl4663]

for being the number 1 pick yeah thats a bust lol

[@SN0WG00NS]

Brandon L number 1 pick ?

[@RonJohn63]

Lonzo turns the ball over *waaaayyyy* too much, and -- except for the past month -- his shooting is *atrocious.*

[@joelreed534]

RonJohn63 he’s shot 38 percent from 3 on the season.... nah I know you haven’t watched the games...

[@HecticFredClips]

"There are plenty of scorers in this league, but not many who can do everything else like Lord Lonzo". Thats what I used to say, but now you can see the scoring coming along nicely. He is going to be a top player in this league in the next few years

[@susantabibian1701]

Obviously I keep trying to convince my friends but they don’t listen 😳 they say stats aren’t everything when I bring up his three point percentage being above average

[@ItsCraigyBoy]

This is probably the most underrated aspect of his game. I don’t think he gets enough recognition for his defence. It’s always Jrue this, Jrue that... Lonzo is so much better defensively in my opinion.

[@tjb9763]

Lonzo definitely isn’t better but he will be when it’s all said and done

[@jonathan.8427]

Just like Lowry, he's good at the little things

[@ElitezCinema]

Now if only he could learn to take a charge like Lowry that would really help the Pels. I guess he might just be scared to get hit because Zo is smart enough and quick enough to beat players to their spot.

[@Shiesty723]

Got great court vision, probably one of the best with assists. Has worked on his three, been getting buckets. And his defense is probably his best asset. Dudes been on a roll. He’ll be an all star next year.

[@222savvy]

I would say his entire game is his best asset...

I’m starting to miss bruh

[@esketitesketit1658]

He’s actually avg 12/7/6 so he’s not as bad of a scorer as ppl claim. It’s just he’s a pass first guard who can give you a bucket and defense. He’s the perfect point-guard. Especially, when you consider how EVERYBODY wants to score now.

[@thekingofbasketball06]

And he is shooting 38.3 % from 3!

[@lifkee]

That steal at 4:50 is defense at its best

[@JokulXyrevived]

Beautiful, just beautiful 🤧

[@vrs4951]

People who say Lonzo is a bust have 0 basketball knowledge they just think points is what makes a good/bad basketball player. Defense is sooooo important and Lonzo has a great feel for the game. He is able to consistently get blocks and steals and put pressure outside the perimeter as well. When he pushes the floor he also makes the other team's defense collapse and he is able to set his teammates up very well. Honestly I was never a Lonzo hater but he surprised me when he came into the league he could be an amazing basketball player if he just works on making his shot faster and more consistent.

[@undo7711]

This should be the great example of pg's should like run plays, facilitate and they play defence not focusing on scoring. Most of the viewers thinks if you aren't average double digits ppg you're a bust

[@SoundHumility]

Lol gosh Lonzo seems annoying to other players cause he gets them when they relaxed 😂😂

[@Itsamaruuu]

Great hands and footwork. Plays defense with his hands down and can follow a shifty guard wit ease. And when his hands are up he is either deflecting it or getting a steal. Or even forcing a bad tough pass.

[@tonydillard339]

I wish he could've stayed in L.A. I've like him since UCLA, crazy court vision, very nice handles, worked on his 3 pt shot, and an excellent defensive player. What more can you ask!

Statistically, Zo was the best perimeter defender in the league last year. I love watching him play defense, even though he puts less efforts into D this year. But he's smarter and doesn't gamble as much as before. Honestly, him and Jrue are such a fun backcourt to watch. Altruistic as all Hell and will give your favourite player a bad time on D.

After next year hes a free agent what if he goes to the clippers with George, and Kawhi that would be a nasty defense

He's an LA Product, Kobe said after Iverson picked him apart in the finals one year, he became obsessed with becoming the best defender in the league. Ya he's a scorer but that doesn't mean he's above defending...like Harden. Lonzo shows true character after his fall from grace in front of his own city. Soft players would've taken it too hard and would've never recovered, instead this Man put his head down and silently let his play do all the talking. I like how this guy is a low key, character leader for himself, his brothers, and now the NBA. I could imagine the talks and confidence he gives his brothers after Lavar lays into them in his narcissist fashion. The oldest can be become a surrogate parent when the folks are ass kickers that apply that pressure with no empathy. Geez, remember when Lavar cut the boys off from seeing their Mom when she was hurting. What in the hell kind of parent does that? What I see is a team/family first, 1st born Son that aims to bring everybody up while shunning the spotlight. Because he was raised to be a Man...women want to be noticed(ahem Lavar)...Men want to be respected. This guy plays defense and dishes out assists on the court...but more importantly he does that OFF the court as well...Cheers #2...all 3 of you are gonna be lighting up the NBA for the next decade.
