NBA Rookie Ladder: Ben Simmons and an unlikely Laker steal the headlines
By Erez Maman
7. Lonzo Ball, Los Angeles Lakers
Stats: 8.8 points, 6.7 assists, 6.6 rebounds
Take a deep breath Laker Nation and please allow me to explain. First of all, I love Lonzo ball. Lavar ball has made many outlandish statements, but I actually agree with one one of them.
"“He’s jason kidd with a jump shot.”"
Ball actually does have a nice, ugly looking, jump,shot. Problem is, he doesn’t know when to use it. Ball is shooting just above 30 percent from the field. Lozno needs to cut down on his turnovers as well, he’s averaging three per game.
He’s a floor general. He’s doing a great job running the offense, and creating space for his teammates. Stats aside, Lonzo looks the part of a really good point guard. The numbers will come, but for now he will have to climb his way to the top of this rookie class.
