Lonzo Ball

[Phrazbit]

He's a Laker, that alone is reason enough to want him to fail miserably.

LA has some really nice young pieces: Ball, Ingram & ROY contender Kyle Kuzma. If they indeed land James, he would have a pretty good supporting cast next year.

But actually the Lakers are a better team so far when Ball is not on the floor and Ingram is still bad with occasional flashes, Ingram can't shoot.

Kuzma is their best piece but a terrible defender and long-term upside who knows.

This quote from the article sums up the main issue with Lonzo and Lavar, glad it's being called out now but surprised it's taken this long...

"The kid could stop all of it," the VP said. "All he has to say to the media is, 'He doesn't speak for me. If you want to talk about the Lakers, speak to me, don't speak to my dad.'"

It should be as simple as that. Lavar could continue to squawk off to the media but his words won't carry any weight and the press would start to ignore him.

Lonzo Ball in first five games back from injury: 12 of 19 from three-point range. Lonzo in the five games since: 8 of 42 (4 of 29 in last four). I’m super curious to see what kind of shooter he is over the course of time. (Also, story going up soon on Isaiah Thomas’ Lakers life)
