Lonzo Ball: Still In The Game—or Just Riding the Hype?
Once he was the No. 2 pick with sky-high expectations—elite court vision, defense, UCLA legend. Now? He’s with the Cavaliers after a brutal title run in Chicago marred by knee surgeries, ERC transplants, and nearly two lost seasons.
Last year, he returned for 35 games, averaging a modest 7.6 PPG, 3.3 APG, and 3.4 RPG in just over 22 minutes. He isn’t the All-Star of old—but with Cleveland, he might find a niche as a savvy playmaker off the bench who plays smart defense and sets the table for shooters.
So… is Lonzo a perennial disappointment or simply unlucky with injuries? Or maybe, just maybe, he’s overdue for a reset in the right role?
