Lonzo Ball Passes Damian Lillard in NBA All-Star Voting

The second round of fan voting returns are in for the 2018 NBA All-Star Game and Damian Lillard has lost ground to Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball. One week ago, Lillard had the seventh-most votes among Western Conference guards (148,622) while Ball had the eighth-most (120,817). Today, Lillard trails Ball by almost 30,000 votes.

Ball, drafted No. 2 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft has improved his play since entering the league, but still struggles to shoot (FG%: 34.9) while his team struggles to win (13-27).
