Will Lonzo Ball Live Up to the Hype?
Over the last year, the talk of the NBA rookie class, has been Lozno Ball. From his father, LaVar, campaigning his son to their home team of the Los Angeles Lakers and watching Zo finish as the summer league MVP; it’s up to him whether or not he’ll live up to these expectations.
Along with floor vision and a deadly shooting from three, Lonzo is being given the keys for his rookie season. We don’t expect the Lakers to significantly improve in one year with this young team, but they’ll do enough to attract talent and fill stadiums throughout the year – with hope.
Considering it’s still one of the league’s prominent destinations, his play during the regular season could see a free agency shake-up for veterans looking to find a pass-first distributor in 2019.
