Lonzo Ball has shined in his first year for the New Orleans Pelicans. His passing numbers will make him a franchise cornerstone over the foreseeable future.
Lonzo Ball of the New Orleans Pelicans is a pass-first point guard, who in many ways is a throwback to the old days.
In the beginning the point guard was the player who organized and ran the offense without necessarily taking the shot themselves. In the late ’90s, the point guard would look to score for themselves and set up teammates second.
