His dad makes it so so hard to root for him but the kid himself seems like a nice guy and he's a fun throwback. Sadly, he's 15 years removed from when he would've been at his apex, but if he can clean up that jumper just a bit, there's still a way for him to excel in this league. He'll never have Steph's athleticism to the hoop of play the lock down defense on the perimeter that you'd like to see. His ceiling as a true 'superstar' probably isn't there. But if he has truly ascendant court vision, maybe I'm wrong.
If I am, maybe he can be the next Jason Kidd rather than a rich man's Ricky Rubio. I hope so because the league will be better if he is.

While Lavar is annoying as ****, I do respect what he has done business wise and building a brand. He's the reason why everybody is talking about his sons, and it's definitely not bad publicity, if there is a such a thing business wise outside of criminal activity. I like Lonzo though. He seems like a great kid and I wish him all the success in the world.
