Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball is one of the more polarizing players in the NBA today. It seems like most observers either think he’ll be really good or bust-level terrible, with very little in-between.
That’s probably unfair to Ball — there is room for nuance here, and his actual worth likely lies somewhere in the middle of those two extremes — but there is no doubt that he can be hard to watch when his shot is clanking all over the place and it seems like he can’t finish at the rim in games like his 4-point-on-10-shot showing against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.
