After what should have been a nice, comfortable game, I resumed breathing and eventually got around to, well you know, my job. To discuss the heart-attack inducing events of Wednesday night’s Lakers game, I welcomed Kirk Henderson of Mavs Moneyball.
We start with a cross-position comparison between prospects of the Lakers and Mavericks. Luka Doncic and Lonzo Ball approach the game in a lot of the same ways, and look to impact it by doing stuff that doesn’t always show up in the box score. Unfortunately for both, you really have to be looking for their impact if you’re going to see it in its entirety.
