In this episode of the Laker Film Room Podcast, Pete and I discuss Lonzo Ball’s ankle injury and what it means for him and the Lakers going forward.
We open up discussing how Lonzo was playing before the injury, dissecting how he was playing some of the best basketball of his NBA life by offering a command and floor generalship that falls in line more with what you might expect from a “lead guard”. While Lonzo came into the league being touted as a culture changer, that moniker aligned more with his ability to push the pace and his want to move the ball quickly onto open teammates to establish a barometer of unselfishness.
