‘The Herd’: Why Lonzo Ball may live to regret only working out for the Lakers

Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers landed the second pick in the NBA Draft, many fans and analysts have assumed that UCLA's Lonzo Ball heading to his hometown team is a foregone conclusion.

Ball even turned down a workout with the Boston Celtics, the team with the top overall pick, at the behest of his outspoken father, LaVar - who previously said he hopes Boston doesn't take his son at No. 1.

Los Angeles, however, doesn't appear to be sold on Ball. Former Kansas star Josh Jackson had his second workout for the team earlier this week, and consensus top overall pick Markelle Fultz wil also be working out for the team.
