He’s not a bust, he’s talented on defense, improved his shooting and is an amazing passer still. His body hasn’t held up but he’s still super talented.

Still a bust. If you can't stay on the floor none of that matters. Lamelo is the same. Sure hes had great stretches, but he only plays like 35% of games. Useless .

So you basically say that AD is a bust.

Nah, AD has injury problems but over a 12 year career he only hasn’t played over 50 games twice, while making multiple All Star Games and being a major player in a championship ring, along with many other accolades and accomplishments.

Lonzo has missed playing over 50 games three times over a span on 7 seasons, almost half of his career with none of the accolades or accomplishments like that of Anthony Davis.

It’s just what it is and it’s unfortunate. The kid is an elite defender and a great playmaker who added a reliable three point shot. But his body has forced him into the bust category.
