UCLA’s Bryce Alford considers attention on LaVar Ball ‘an unfair thing’ for Lonzo Ball

EL SEGUNDO >> The compliments rolled off of Bryce Alford’s tongue, as the UCLA guard reflected on playing with Lonzo Ball.

Though Alford projected that Ball “will be just fine” should the Lakers draft him with their No. 2 pick, one question keeps following the Bruins’ former point guard. Will his outspoken father, LaVar Ball, put his son in a precarious position because of his outspoken nature?

“It’s just an unfair thing for Lonzo. He gets a rep that he doesn’t deserve,” said Alford, who took part in a pre-draft workout with the Lakers on Monday at their facility.
