NBA: Is Larry Nance Jr. Really the Lakers’ Secret Weapon? He’s From Akron so Maybe He’ll Help Attract LeBron James

Someone may need to tell Magic Johnson that secret weapons lose effectiveness when you name them on national television. Despite how effusive he has been about the newly drafted Lonzo Ball, Johnson wasn't referring to the 19-year-old point guard when he described a Lakers player as having the same "basketball IQ" as him. No, Johnson told First Take that he believed it would be Larry Nance Jr. who would be a key figure for the Lakers this coming season.
