লেকার্স ও লনজো বলের ফিরে আসা

একটি পরিচিতমুখের নীচুস্বরেই

আমি ১০+বছর NBA-এর Roster-গুলি Advanced Stats + Visual Scouting-এর माध्यम से अध्ययन करें हैं। जब डैन वोइके के कहा कि लेकर्स फिर से लोंजो बॉल प्रति आकर्षित हुए, मैं सिर्फ माथा हिलाइस।

सच? यह कोई सपना नहीं। पैटर्न पहचान है। Lakers players trade for roles—not vibes.

और लोंजो? हाँ, पहले draft हुए, पहले LA में point guard।

‘পুড়া’য় ‘দাহ’?

2024-25-তে Lonzo 7.6 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 3.3 APG; FG%: 36.6%, 3PT%: 34.4%—সহজতা (Casual) fan-দের ‘underperforming’!

কিন্তু…তারা ‘গণনা’টা(real value)টা miss kore।

Utah’s system—where ball movement is minimal—he wasn’t supposed to be the engine. But ask any coach who watched him play for L.A.: his real value lies in spacing and defending elite guards.

Data? His defensive box plus/minus since joining Jazz: +1.8 per 100 possessions—top-tier for non-starter guard.

The Real Playmaker They’re Missing?

Lonzo isn’t Kyrie or Tatum—but he doesn’t need to be. He thrives as a secondary playmaker: read defenses like chess pieces; deliver pinpoint passes without needing touch; run pick-and-roll with discipline instead of ego. Last season alone, he had five games with at least six assists while shooting under 18 shots—proof he can orchestrate without demanding control. And yes—he can shoot now (especially off screens). That 34.4% from deep? Not great by today’s standards—but in context? A step forward from prior years when he barely took them at all.

System Fit > Star Power (Again)

The Lakers already brought back D’Angelo Russell because they knew how he moved within their offense—and now they’re eyeing another piece with similar DNA? That’s not emotional loyalty—that’s strategic continuity. When you know every angle of your player’s game—including their quirks—you reduce risk faster than anyone else in the league. So no surprise they’re circling back to Ball—not because he’ll win games alone… but because he helps them win consistently without breaking anything built already.

Final Word: No Flashy Headlines — Just Smart Moves — Again —

done right, it’ll look like nothing happened—but we’ll see it in wins come playoff time.
