When the 2017 NBA Draft gets underway on June 22nd, you’re not going to have to wait long to hear commissioner Adam Silver call Lonzo Ball’s name.
The sure-fire lottery pick out of UCLA talked with The Vertical recently about where he’d like to play as a professional.
“The Lakers are in L.A., and they’re close to home,” Ball told The Vertical. “This is where all my family is. Hopefully, they have a nice pick and they have a chance to get me. I want this to be realistic. Just being very family-oriented, to play in front of them would mean a lot to me.
