UCLA Basketball: Lonzo Ball Named to the Preseason Naismith Trophy Watch List

He has not yet played a regular season game for the UCLA Basketball team but Lonzo Ball is already turning heads. Ball was selected among 49 other players to the preseason Naismith Trophy watch list.

The Naismith Trophy is awarded to the top college basketball player in the nation, given by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.

Now remember, Ball is a freshman. Being listed as potentially one of the 50 best players in the country is an honor in and of itself. That says a lot about what is expected of this newest Bruin.
