2-3 shots he actually affected 3-4 Lonzo pushed him into longer help defenders w/i scheme of defense Rest are Kemba just missingKemba Walker went 2 of 13 vs. the Lakers. I, naturally, was bombarded with tweets about Lonzo’s defense. Matchup data says Kemba shot 2 of 12 vs. Zo. Here are 10 of his misses (one LeBron switched on). Forget what I think.

As outlined here, that’s kind of the problem. The actual evidence suggests his impact is significant….ly negative. Lakers defense 4.2 points per possession worse for the year, 1.2 points better for December, but has fluctuated with each game wildly. https://t.co/yFob0zcfmL@HPbasketball That’s fair, but are we going to do this for every good (statistical) defender? No. We look at the numbers and the impact that player ultimately has on the game. I’d say his impact is pretty significant. -

Oh here’s a really good metric that shows Lonzo’s impact. The Lakers have a 59% assist rate when Lonzo’s on the floor, vs. just 51% when he’s off. LeBron actually has a lower assist rate on-court than off. Granted, the Lakers’ offense is slightly worse with Ball on-court but

Lonzo’s honestly very rarely going to be the one primarily responsible for defending point guards because of how the Lakers defend pick and rolls. NO ONE can fight over every screen to stay in front of a guy. It’s not humanly possible without fouling.
