Time is ticking for Lonzo Ball to prove Cavaliers should keep the experiment alive

Lonzo Ball has been sadly disappointing for the Cleveland Cavaliers in his first season in town.

The Lonzo Ball experiment has not yielded the results the Cleveland Cavaliers expected thus far.

In an offseason deal, the Cavaliers dealt struggling wing prospect Isaac Okoro to the Chicago Bulls for a proven veteran point guard. Ball has built a reputation as a solid defensive guard and an elite playmaker with solid scoring chops to round out his skillset. While scoring has never been his go-to talent, his ability to drive to the hoop for an easy layup forces defenses to collapse on his drives, giving him easier passing opportunities.
