Additionally, he makes those around him much better. Lonzo Ball is the third surprise player I can see Boston drafting number one overall. Many rumors have it the Lakers will select him with the 2nd overall pick.
However, recent news has it the Lakers want nothing to do with the Ball. If you think closely about it, this makes sense. If he does land in Boston how would he react and how would his family react? The answer would be in his game on the court, he would prove his doubters wrong.
Many think Fultz will land in Boston but he is better off with another team where he can start immediately. Boston is known for their offense and decent defense. Lonzo Ball has an outstanding offense and decent defense. Landing with the Celtics is the best fit for him. Also, it would renew the rivalry with the Lakers.
In that case, the Lakers can draft hypothetically Fox to guard Ball and the rivalry would definitely be renewed.
