Lonzo Ball says jump shot improved thanks to adding muscle

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- A visibly bigger Lonzo Ball says the biggest change he has made to his jump shot is the addition of more strength.

Ball says he "just got cleared" to participate in full workouts after undergoing surgery on a torn left meniscus and the Lakers will be careful and take things slow with Ball. Lakers coach Luke Walton told ESPN's Dave McMenamin that the plan is to start Rajon Rondo at point guard as Ball makes his way back from his mid-July surgery.

Once Ball makes his way back into 5-on-5 action, he hopes to show off an improved jump shot and the ability to finish better in the paint.
