There’s this thing Lakers fans on Twitter love to do. They’ll point to Lonzo Ball‘s historically bad shooting numbers (36.0 percent from the field, 30.5 percent from three, 45.1 percent from the foul line) and compare them to Jason Kidd‘s rookie numbers, which were also poor.
By entirely broken logic, these Lonzo stans believe that since Kidd turned into a good shooter, Ball has to as well. Can he improve? Sure. Is it likely? Not at all. So I’m not going to do that thing with Josh Jackson.
Jackson’s upside seems to be a poor man’s Andre Iguodala.
