As the NBA Draft approaches tonight the most talked about player in the draft is Lonzo Ball. In my opinion we have been talking about Ball for all the wrong reasons since the college season ended. Everyone brings up his father Lavar Ball and how outspoken he is.
All in the media you see Lavar Ball said this and that, in my opinion that's the reason to talk about Lonzo Ball. We should talk about how he brought back UCLA basketball to prominence. UCLA coach Ben Howland has been winning a lot of basketball games for a long time but nobody noticed. UCLA won 15 games in the 2015-2016 season, Lonzo Ball came to UCLA and they won 31 games. Yet all people can bring up is Lavar and how much he talks about his sons. Lonzo was arguably the best player in college basketball last year as he averaged 14.6 points, 6 rebounds and 7.6 assist per game on 55 percent from the field. He made his teammates better all season and led his team to an Elite Eight appearance.
As soon as UCLA's season ended all you heard about was how Kentucky's guard De'Aaron Fox out played him during that game which is true. People ignored what he did all season for UCLA like the first 36 games they played didn't matter. The media found a way to talk about everything else but the wonderful season he had.
Instead of looking at what goes on around Lonzo Ball, maybe we should take a look at what Lonzo Ball actually did.
