I love the way Ball is constantly looking up the floor/the way he sees the floor; it is very Kidd-like. I think Kidd was still a much better passer than Ball is. Ball sees the floor in a special way, but Kidd saw the floor that way while also having incredible control over the ball. Kidd was a great ball-handler, while I think Ball's ball-handling is pretty weak. I also think Kidd had a lot more quickness with the ball than Lonzo does. Kidd was an elite defender, while Lonzo is pretty poor on the defensive end. And lastly, Kidd was a horrific shooter early in his career while Lonzo is a great spot-up shooter (though his shooting off the dribble is basically non-existent outside of the occasional step-back). It's a weird comparison; I think it gets tossed around mostly because they're both big passing PGs from California. If you break down what really makes each of them special, they aren't very similar IMO.

In the end, the ball-handling, lack of quickness, defense, and lack of pull-up game is what I think will prevent Lonzo from being a good NBA player.
