He did not have a great time in LA and was eventually traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. In his time in New Orleans, Ball matured as a player and improved his two-way presence, too.

Many believed the Bulls were overpaying, but the team got off to a great start. Ball's 3-point shooting improved as well. More than that, his playmaking skills helped fellow stars Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan to score effortlessly. Chip Jones@ChipJNBAOne of Lonzo Ball's best skills is his ability to identify mismatches early and often. Bulls offense has to do about 0 work here and DeMar is immediately sent to the free throw line.9One of Lonzo Ball's best skills is his ability to identify mismatches early and often.

However, a knee injury in January brought his best season in the league to a hault. The young guard has a great career ahead of him but he needs to recover from his injury. Lonzo Ball has the potential to be one of the best two-way guards in the league. His defensive presence could elevate the Bulls to become contenders in the East.
