Lonzo Ball (10.2 pts, 6.9 reb, 7.2 ast, 1.7 stl, 36.0% FG, 30.5% 3P)
The incumbent starter at point guard, Ball will compete to retain his position at training camp. The 20-year-old was one of the NBA’s most impactful rookies, displaying passing, rebounding and defensive abilities well beyond his experience.
His health will certainly be something to monitor, as his offseason was interrupted by arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. That ailment (along with some streaky shooting) was one of the few major hiccups in a first season that would have seen him rank among the NBA’s top 10 in both assists and steals, if he had played enough games to qualify.
