There is something special about this Lonzo Ball kid. The UCLA Basketball team has found a real deal who is, so far, leading the Bruins to a 2-0 record. He is definitely a big deal.
More proof of that came this week as Ball was named to the John Wooden Award watch list. This award honors the best Division I basketball player in the country and is known as the most prestigious individual award a player can receive.
Ball was the best player in the nation in high school last season, leading Chino Hills High School to undefeated season.
