According to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, Lonzo Ball is a “once every 20-year” point guard.
Ball averaged 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game for UCLA last season. His season ended in a head-to-head battle against Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox. Ball finished with 10 points, 8 assists and 4 turnovers. In comparison, Fox had 39 points, 4 assists and 1 turnover.
Those who say LaVar Ball is inhibiting Lonzo Ball obviously didn't watch UCLA. Kid is a once every 20-year PG regardless of who his dad is.

If you're measuring Lonzo Ball only by statistics then you're essentially playing left field with a hockey stick.
