NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - FEBRUARY 28: Lonzo Ball #2 of the New Orleans Pelicans (Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images)
Nickeil Alexander-Walker replaced Lonzo Ball in the starting lineup for the New Orleans Pelicans last night in a move that could be permanent.
Lonzo Ball sat out with an injury and will probably miss the final game against the Lakers as well, which will likely give NAW another chance as a starter.
Fans shouldn’t get too excited about NAW’s 30 point game against a shorthanded Warriors team but his play this season has made some wonder if he is the starter of the future and whether this team really needs Lonzo Ball.
