Write Up
     Lonzo Ball may be the most entertaining prospect to watch in this draft.  In his freshman season he has transformed UCLA into a powerhouse while significantly boosting his draft stock.  He is one of the best passers to come through college in years, his vision/unselfishness is contagious and has the Bruins running a fun brand of basketball.  Ball is a unique player, aside from his passing, he can shoot from deep (crazy deep at times), has good size for a PG, and has a good BBIQ/feel for the game.  While I compare him to a mix of Russell and Rondo, he is really a player of his own and it's tough to project how he'll fare in the NBA.  Ball's major weaknesses are his defense and his overall offensive game.  He has trouble finishing over length and after contact, he struggles with his pull up jumper, and doesn't have much of a post up or floater game.  He may never need to fully correct all of his offensive weaknesses due to his special passing/creating ability, but it would make him a stronger PG and more of a threat for defenses.  Overall Ball is unlike any prospect I've ever seen and will likely be a top 5 pick in the draft.
