Last month, Lonzo Ball told ESPN 710 Los Angeles, “Markelle [Fultz] is a great player, but I feel I'm better than him. I think I can lead a team better than him.” Neither Ball nor Fultz has set foot on an NBA court and already there’s a bit of a rivalry brewing. As both of these players look to usher in a new class of NBA hopefuls, that’s just plain good for basketball.
Lonzo Ball has become one of the more polarizing draft prospects. His unique blend of skills and unorthodox shooting touch have left fans and analysts alike excited to see what he does at the next level, despite a certain family member.
