Lonzo Ball Is finally a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Magic Johnson & Co. took him with the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft on Thursday.
Despite a few issues with his draft workouts with the Lakers, Ball was still the top choice for Los Angeles when they came to select after Markelle Fultz was off the board. The Lakers have already given Ball more control of the team after trading D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets last week.
Before the draft, Ball took some time out to work in his back yard and on his home court with NBA legend Isiah Thomas.
Check out the interaction between the two and see where Ball grew up learning to shoot his oddly-formed but highly-accurate jumper.
