Lonzo Ball is scrutinized and doubted as much, if not more than, just about any other athlete in professional sports right now. Will his shot ever come around? Can he fit alongside LeBron James? Does he actually make the impact on the Los Angeles Lakers that his supporters believe he does?
In reality, the answer to all those questions is something along the lines of, “maybe,” but despite all the second-guessing, the belief Ball has in himself has remained unshakeable.
That said, he also understands that he has to fit into the team construct right now if he’s to reach his long-term ceiling.
