Lonzo Ball gets better, and better, and better. For the first half of the season, he was just feeling things out, concentrating on distributing the ball, involving his teammates, and making them better. His unselfishness permeated the whole team, and made the Bruins a National Contender. Comparisons to Jason Kidd were proliferating. And that was “tentative” Lonzo, just getting his feet wet as a college Freshman.
Now that he is getting more comfortable, he has decided to kick it up a notch in the scoring department. Forget Kidd — this kid is MAGIC (as in Johnson). On Sunday afternoon, the Bruins found themselves down 27-24 to the 27-point underdog Oregon State Beavers, who came into the game 0-12 in the Pac-12, on a 12-game losing streak.
