One thing you hear more than just about any other complaint about Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball is his habit of sometimes floating around the game and not getting involved enough. To try to make sure he avoids that floating tendency, Luke Walton and his coaching staff have had Ball setting a bunch of screens all over the place, particularly for LeBron James.
It’s actually kind of fun to watch. He’s like some kind of Roomba out there looking for people to get in the way of.
It’s impossible to say whether this is as a result of that, but Ball’s play has picked up recently and that floating issue is becoming less pervasive.
