Ignoring all of the Ball families’ crazy off-the-court stuff (looking at you LaVar) and just focusing on Lonzo’s talent, it’s pretty clear that he is going to be a big part of Luke Walton’s team this year. Lonzo Ball is a fantastic passer, a great rebounder, and a terrific floor general.

He doesn’t have a shot like Golden States’ Steph Curry and he isn’t as explosive as Phoenix’s Eric Bledsoe, but Lonzo Ball is pretty well-rounded, especially for such a young player.

The only major question about Lonzo’s game, one that we have heard over and over again, is his shot. He uses such an unorthodox release, that people are still  wondering if he will be able to make a shot from the outside in the NBA. Will he be able to make shots consistently? Only time will tell.
