2017 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: De’Aaron Fox, Jayson Tatum Rise; Jonathan Isaac, Dennis Smith Fall
By Tony Webb
No. 2 Los Angeles Lakers- Lonzo Ball (UCLA, FR, Point Guard)
Los Angeles are doing their best to keep their top-three protected pick. The Lakers youth movement is in full-swing and adding Lonzo Ball here continues the build towards the future for the legendary franchise.
Ball has great size, a great basketball IQ and is a clutch playmaker. He has limitless range and an arsenal of moves on offense. His passing game and his ability to distribute the ball often gets overlooked by his ability to scored. Ball averaged 7.6 assists a game in his solo campaign at UCLA and in games he struggled shooting, he created offense to keep the Bruins in games.
Adding Ball to the Lakers would bring smiles to the fans, the organization and most importantly….Lavar Ball.
