Lonzo Ball: Magic Johnson told me this will be the biggest summer of my life
Lonzo Ball ended his rookie season averaging 10.2 points, 7.2 assists, 6.9 rebounds
In his exit interview, Lonzo Ball revealed that Magic Johnson told him that this is going to be the biggest summer of his life.
Lonzo Ball ended his rookie season averaging 10.2 points, 7.2 assists, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 36 percent from the field and 30.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Per ESPN, Entering what Magic Johnson told him will be "the biggest summer" of his life, Lonzo Ball will work on but not alter his shot and he wasn't too concerned about what he showed LeBron James, Paul George and other potential free agents in his rookie season.
"No, the way I play is to help my team win, I am not really worried about who is not here, I am worried about the guys that are here and I tried to do what I could and help my team out," Ball said when asked if he felt pressure to show star free agents what he could do this season. "So, whether it be LeBron, Paul George or whoever, if they liked it, they liked it. If they didn't, they didn't, I can't do anything about it now."
"Shoot it with confidence for one and just keep putting the work in," Ball said when asked what Lakers brass told him about how to improve his shooting and if any changes would be made to his technique. "Don't change your form or nothing. I have been shooting like that my whole life, they said they are fine with it.
"Just make sure I am getting the reps up. Just perfect it pretty much. If you want to be a good shooter, you got to shoot and start making them and that will translate to the game".
