The shooting woes of Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball haven’t gotten any shortage of coverage this season, but the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft has actually been better in that department of late, after a historically rough start.
Over 17 games since Dec. 1, Ball has actually been shooting 38.4 percent from behind the arc (third on the Lakers among players taking three or more attempts per game) and knocking down 42.6 percent of his shots overall.
That means he’s has been an above-average-to-good shooter from deep in almost half of the 38 games he’s played in, so Ball might not be as hopeless of a shooter from downtown as many seem to think.
