The newest Los Angeles Lakers point guard, Lonzo Ball, has been making his rounds in the city this past week, throwing out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium, the same day as being introduced as a Laker at the team’s practice facility in El Segundo.
Ball was the second overall pick by the Lakers in last week’s NBA Draft, as he looks to turn around a Lakers franchise that is suffering through its worst period since coming to Los Angeles.
But after the selection of Ball, a hometown product who grew up in Chino Hills and went to UCLA, Laker fans are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
