Lonzo doesn't do it much. The problem isn't that he's not shoot first, and that he dishes. The problem is that he does not drive in the first place.
On our team, these are the drive numbers (per 36).
1 - Jrue - 16.4
2 - Ingram - 14.2
3 - NAW - 13.6
4 - E'twaun - 8.8
5 - Frank - 7.6
6 - Lonzo - 7.1
7 - Zion - 3.5
8- Hart - 3.2
The only guys below that are guys like Redick, who are purely shooters, and bigs. Lonzo has the lowest drive frequency of any of our major ball handlers. Man, he even has a lower drive frequency than guys who aren't supposed to be ballhandlers, like Moore.
