Re: The Lonzo-est Yard

Been reading a lot about how the young core has been putting in time in the weightroom, getting bulkier and stronger. Lonzo and Ingram, specifically, both need to come out with more aggression and confidence, and having LeBron, Rondo and Lance to help guide them will be such a great bonus this year.
"(Magic) Johnson said that Ball needs to be “selfish some,” and aggressively look for his own shot.
“The main focus is scoring from all levels,” Ball said at his exit interview, “especially off the pick-and-roll getting into the paint. … Floaters, pull-ups, stuff of that nature.”
Indeed, these are areas where Ball struggled to put it through the net. He shot just 37.5 percent on pull-up jumpers (15-of-40), 32.6 percent from mid-range (14-of-43) and 29.7 percent on floaters (11-of-37)."
