Draft Projection: Top 3

Lonzo Ball is arguably the biggest name in this draft and while a big part of that is due to his braggadocious father, his game does a lot of talking too. Lonzo can pass, shoot and is a better athlete than he gets credit for.

I’m still extremely concerned about his shooting form, but I’d assume once he gets with an NBA level shooting coach, it should improve.

What The Experts Say:

"[via The Step Back] Ball’s court vision and size are awesome, and he was college basketball’s most productive passer. But can he create enough for himself to be an elite point guard?"

Taking his father out of it, there’s a lot to like about the prospect Lonzo. He needs to add some weight and there will certainly be a learning curve, but he’s almost a can’t-miss prospect due to all the tools in his arsenal.
