Here are three goals for Lonzo Ball that will help him become a better player and win rookie of the year this season for the Los Angeles Lakers.
With the summer league just a couple weeks away, the work is about to begin for the Los Angeles Lakers. So much of their success this season will rely on how the young core develops.
Questions surround this team as summer play begins. Will Brandon Ingram take the next step to becoming a star? Has he put on any significant weight? Is Larry Nance Jr. going to be a productive player in this league? What will Lonzo Ball do during his first season? We will get a glimpse into the improvements these players have made all offseason July 7th when the Lakers take on the LA Clippers in Las Vegas.
