The Lakers secured the No. 2 pick during the NBA Draft Lottery earlier this month, and many believe Ball will be available when Los Angeles is on the clock.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The 19-year-old played one season with the Bruins, averaging 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.6 assists as a 6-6 point guard. But Ball has garnered national attention not so much for what he&rsquo;s done at UCLA but rather what his father, LaVar, has said in recent months.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The elder Ball has proclaimed his son is as good as some of the NBA&rsquo;s all-time greats &ndash; comparing him to Magic Johnson and Steph Curry. Lonzo displayed a high basketball IQ at UCLA and a lethal jump shot despite its unconventional form.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The Lakers currently have D&rsquo;Angelo Russell, who was taken with the second pick in 2015, at point guard. Russell, 21, averaged a career-high 15.6 points last season but shot just 41 percent from the floor for a Lakers team that missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:18px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Source:-&nbsp;http:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/nba\/story\/lakers-reportedly-have-date-set-for-lonzo-ball-workout-053017<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/sports\/lakers-reportedly-date-set-lonzo-ball-workout.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakers reportedly have date set for Lonzo Ball workout Former UCLA star Lonzo Ball has made it quite clear he&rsquo;d love to play for his hometown Los Angeles Lakers, and it looks like the Lakers will soon get a chance to meet the star point guard.
