Lonzo Ball’s first season in New Orleans has mirrored that of the Pelicans, featuring a rough start as Ball battled injuries, but then transforming into the best results for him individually and team-wise of his three-year NBA career. Although he’s been a household hoops name for a number of years, it’s easy to forget that Ball is still only 22, the fifth-youngest player on a New Orleans roster that features 10 players with less than three full seasons of NBA experience. Born in Anaheim and a native of Chino Hills, Calif., Ball was a Lakers lottery pick in 2017 after one standout season at UCLA.
