Despite starting preseason with two defeats, Luke Walton and the Lakers are not feeling too down about their prospects this season after Lonzo Ball starred in his first games for the team. Lakers lost their first game 108-99 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday and were then beaten by the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. Ball, the 19-year-old point guard who has been described as the "new face of the Lakers," scored five points, made eight assists, seven rebounds and two steals against the Timberwolves.
