Lonzo Ball has been a polarizing figure prior to and since the Los Angeles Lakers selected him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He endured an injury-filled rookie season that still featured flashes of promise from the pass-first point guard.
Coming off knee surgery that limited his offseason workouts, Ball has had stretches of uneven play in his sophomore campaign. The latest dud came in a deflating loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night.
Ball 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocked shots and 3 steals. He shot just 2-of-10 from the field and missed all seven 3-pointers.
