Los Angeles Lakers: Reasons to keep Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball’s playmaking abilities

There is no more denying Lonzo Ball’s playmaking abilities. The former UCLA star has made his presence known in the NBA while averaging 6.2 assists per game for his career, but Ball’s true talent is not measured by statistics.

His unbelievable passing accuracy opens up opportunities for the ball to move around, which results in assists for other players, and he is one of the best defending point guards in the NBA.

After going down with an injury, Ball’s absence was well noticed on the Lakers. The team’s defense went down immediately following Ball’s injury, and their ball movement ceased by a large margin. LeBron James could not even bring the spark that moves the offense the way Lonzo did. He is one of the most underrated young stars in the league.

By keep and grooming Lonzo Ball, the Lakers could have a potential All-Star point guard waiting on their team.
