Lonzo Ball seems to be a new man. Unlike his first 2 NBA seasons, he is calling the shots and won’t have his dad making decisions for him as he gets set to take the court as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.
The New Orleans Pelicans point guard will also enter the 2019-20 season with a new and improved jumper as he showed off on Tuesday.
Lonzo missed much of the season last year with a sprained left ankle, and has missed a total of 65 games in his first two seasons in the NBA.
In an interview with ESPN back in July, Ball spoke about how excited he is to run the floor with Zion Williamson.
“Man, I’ve never seen somebody that size move like him,” Ball said of Williamson “… He’s only 19, right? He’s definitely a freak. I’ve never seen nothing like it.
“Honestly, you just got to run the lane, set screens and roll,” Ball added. “With his game and with him getting a full head of steam, it’s going to be very tough to stop him. So I think we play fast and get out on the break as soon as possible.”
