On the eve of the biggest night of his life, Lonzo Ball pops up from underneath a fluffy, white down comforter and digs through a box of chicken nuggets. On a television a few feet away, pundits debate De’Aaron Fox, one of the top point guards in this year’s NBA draft.
“Ey, bro, you have a turn down? Controller?” Ball calls across the room to Darren Moore, his trainer and manager.
He hadn’t really been listening anyway. The show was on in the background as he napped. But a lot of that is just noise to Ball right now.
