The shooting struggles of Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball have put him in the type of negative spotlight no player wants to be under. Crowds are laughing at his misses and statistics are flying around about how he’s shooting worse than any player ever to attempt more than 10 shots per game.
This type of criticism is old hat for the Lakers’ young players from the last several years, as the attention playing in purple and gold creates has led to a rush to bury their careers when they go through the typical struggles all young players thrust into huge roles usually face.
