Lonzo Ball

There’s a lot to love about point guard Lonzo Ball. After just one season at UCLA, the former freshman phenom took college basketball by storm.

While he offers plenty of star potential on the court, he’s also been in the news thanks to an outspoken father. Known for making unfounded claims, LaVar Ball is sharing the spotlight with the first of three sons that has NBA potential.

Outside of Lonzo, UCLA and the NBA are waiting on the development of younger brothers LaMelo and LiAngelo.

Additionally, the family brand — “Big Baller Brand” — recently released Ball’s first signature shoe. Lonzo has been honest with the fact that he’d really enjoy being a part of the Lakers.

He’d be a key piece to the young core if drafted this season by Los Angeles, and wouldn’t be a decision to take lightly.

It has implications on D’Angelo Russell’s possible position switch, the flow of the offense, and much more down the stretch.
