Los Angeles Lakers: Each infinity stone’s Laker counterpart

Space stone: Lonzo Ball

This one was undoubtedly the hardest to come up with as it is a fairly hard concept to connect space with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, after really thinking about it and looking at the roster, the most logical fit is point guard Lonzo Ball.

And even then, it is still not the best fit in the world and needs some working to really get the message across. If you just work with me then you might understand what I am trying to get at.

First and foremost, Ball has one of the quirkiest jump shots in the league that has not translated nicely to the NBA. As a result, teams will often sag off of him to try and force him to take (and miss) and open three. That connection is there because of all of the space on his shots.

Second of all, Ball is really good at working in the space he is given and makes the most of every possession, both offensively and defensively.

When he is handling the ball he often finds the smallest spaces to squeeze passes in and the smallest spaces to expose defenses. When he is not on the ball, he uses screens and other off-ball tactics to create space for others fairly well.

On defense, Ball covers space very well and has shown signs that he could one be an All-Defensive point guard in the NBA.

Again, it is not a perfect fit but it is the best possible pick out of everyone on that list. For that reason, Ball gets Thanos’ middle finger as the space stone.
