Los Angeles Lakers Talk: Too early to call Lonzo Ball a bust

If you ask almost any Los Angeles Lakers fan about Lonzo Ball and the start to his rookie season, most would give you the look of disappointment or provide you with a deep sigh of frustration. That is, almost any Laker fan at least.

Lonzo Ball, was a highly touted prospect coming out of UCLA and the new Lakers regime of Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka used the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft on him. Many hope he will be the next Laker after Kobe Bryant to have his jersey hung up in the rafters, but he has not had the dream start that many Laker fans expected.
