Lonzo Ball, Point Guard, Freshman, UCLA

UCLA’s Lonzo Ball has incredible size, with even better court vision and has just skimmed the surface of his potential.

His motor is Russell Westbrook-esqe, bringing a high tempo and control to the game. Just watch the Bruin’s victory over then top-ranked Kentucky and you will see how he plays in big games. Sure, his shooting needs to improve, but his physicality, basketball I.Q and ability to spread the floor makes him NBA ready.

Ball will be in the running for the top selection come June.
