The Los Angeles Lakers have a bit of a creative problem. Without the team’s two best ballhandlers (LeBron James, Rajon Rondo), they need to rely on somewhat reluctant or incapable creators to carry the load. On that front, Luke Walton says they’ll need more out of Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram.
Both Ball and Ingram have shown flashes from time to time of being able to carry creative responsibilities, but flashes put you in position to win. To actually and consistently get victories, you need more.
