Lonzo until Christmas: 10.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists per game. 37.4% FG, 33.3%3PT, 50.0% FT.
Ingram until Christmas: 25.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists per game. 48.9% FG, 41.0% 3PT, 84.6% FT.
Jrue until Christmas: 19.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists per game. 43.5% FG, 34.1% 3PT, 69.3% FT.
Redick until Christmas: 15.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game. 44.7% FG, 45.8% 3PT, 87.9% FT
Hart until Christmas: 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game. 41.9% FG, 36.9% 3PT, 81.4% FT (Hart's percentages actually got worse later in the year lol)
So that's a look at Lonzo's stats compared to everyone else's until Christmas. Obviously jsut looking at a statline doesnt tell you everything you need to know about a player and how they're doing, but still; it's pretty clear that Lonzo''s early season struggles were worse than pretty much anyone else's.
