Lonzo Ball has shown signs nba 2k20 the player the Los Angeles Lakers expect him to become after picking him second overall in 2017 NBA draft.

So far, in his first season in the league, the 20-year-old rookie is averaging 8.8 assists per game while helping the Lakers defense become the fifth best in the league.

There is, however, one area in which Ball has not excelled. His shooting has been off, seeing him ranked last in the roster in shooting percentage, at 29.5 percent.

This has been a surprise for the Lakers considering his accuracy was never a problem during Ball’s time at UCLA. He shot at 55.1 percent overall during his one season there, and the reason for the drop is unclear though professional defences probably play a part in it.

“Most of those teams have been together for a while,” Walton said, as quoted by Bill Abram of the O.C. Register, “and have gone after this and they’ve failed together. There’s nothing like failing to bring a good team together because then you realize how bad that hurts and how much more you want it.”
