OK. First off, it was a blast. Fans went nuts when Lonzo was announced, if you are familiar, like Kobe used to be...twice as loud as anyone else. Lonzo had his moments, and a solid all around game. Assists, steals, blocks, a few turnovers. Here's the thing, he is much faster than I expected. He really gets up and down the floor, and is way more athletic than advertised.
He's very smooth, and of course, what stands out is his passing. He understands angles, can pass from any position, either hand, and from anywhere on the court, and his passes are ropes. Effortless, but noticeable ropes.
Kuzma was probably the steal of the draft and can score from anywhere. In one sequence, he had a steal, scored on a running left hand hook shot, and then on the next possession, had a dribble drive, right handed hook shot. He has some major offensive skills, and is nailing the 3 at a very high clip.
The Lakers as a team, were a little sloppy, and need some work closing out on three's, and interior defense. Note, neither Center #1, or #2 have played yet. They haven't really worked on offensive sets yet, but were for the most part, willing passers.
