Lonzo Ball of the New Orleans Pelicans is one of the most controversial players in the NBA.

Some fans think he is destined to be a superstar, a triple-double machine that leads a team and fills up a stat sheet, while others think he is merely a complementary role player who might be little overhyped by his legions of passionate fans.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, as Lonzo has improved in some areas while seemingly regressing in others.
