Lonzo Ball didn’t make it a secret that he feels like he’s the point guard the Los Angeles Lakers need to lead them back to greatness after the team worked him out Tuesday.
Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson will be the man making the Lakers selection, and should the team select Ball with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft June 22, the UCLA product is excited to follow in Johnson’s footsteps.
“My dad loved him and loved the way the Lakers played,” Ball told Mike Trudell of Lakers.
