Los Angeles Lakers floor general Lonzo Ball has been performing at an okay level for his team this season. However, that is probably the absolute kindest thing that could be said about the Lakers’ second-year talent.
In his first 18 appearances this year, Ball has averaged 8.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. Numbers like that do not really stand out and they are all below his rookie year statistics.
It is understandable to some degree because Ball was sharing the point guard duties with the recently injured Rajon Rondo. That being said, the former UCLA Bruin is going be getting some extra minutes over the next few weeks.
