Lonzo Ball was asked to take on a new role for the New Orleans Pelicans and has so far made the most of it.

A lot has been made of Lonzo Ball playing more off the ball this season, and some of his most ardent fans are not happy about it, as they think Lonzo’s skills are being wasted on such a role.

He came into the league as a pass-first point guard, a guy whose size and slick passing drew early comparisons to Magic Johnson.
