Lonzo Ball is evolving into one of the best defensive guards in the NBA for the New Orleans Pelicans.
When the New Orleans Pelicans traded Jrue Holiday, some fans worried that their defense would suffer. After three games, it looks like their defense will be just fine, largely because of Steven Adams and Lonzo Ball.
We all knew Adams would improve the rim protection and interior defense but it has been the defense of Lonzo Ball that has been most pleasantly surprising.
