In the eye of the draft hurricane, the NBA’s new first family eagerly awaits Adam Silver's announcement: With the second pick, the Los Angeles Lakers select Lonzo Ball! LaVar beams, three gold Bs running down his black tie. His three boys, draped in custom-made ensembles, brace for a choreography of secret handshakes. There's a man standing just behind the green room table, his burgundy suit perfectly pressed, wearing a serene smile. The selection is as much a culmination of his own grind as is the 6'6″ point guard with that innate passing gene.
His identity became news in early April, when Lonzo officially entered the draft and signed with an agent.
