Lonzo Ball is considered a lock to be picked in the top five of the upcoming NBA Draft, with some projections even pegging him as a candidate for the top pick.
With that comes attention, of course, but being apart of the Ball family brings on a little something extra.
First, his younger brother LaMelo scored 92 points in a high school basketball game recently. Yes, 92, though much if it came as the result of cherry picking and a lack of opposition from the other team.
LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball will both join UCLA in the coming years, though Lonzo won’t be around the Bruins anymore for that.
Recently, Ball’s outspoken father, Lavar, went so far as to say his son was better than Steph Curry. Yes, that Steph Curry, the two-time NBA MVP.
The freshman Ball didn’t quite live up to that level of hype his father bestowed on him, though he did have a solid game, finishing with 11 points, five rebounds, eight assists, two steals and just two turnovers.
