Lonzo Ball is a Laker.
Sometimes, things just work out.
L.A. happened to buck the lottery odds to end up with the No. 2 pick in a year in which a local kid was sitting there for the taking.
Just like in 2003, when LeBron James went to his hometown Cavs, or 2008, when Chicago had the No. 1 slot in native Derrick Rose’s class, a local kid will start for the team he dreamed of starring for.
The 19-year-old called it a "dream come true" to be able to stay in Los Angeles and work with arguably the greatest point guard ever, Lakers president Magic Johnson.
