Why Luke Walton and the Lakers won’t bench the struggling Lonzo Ball
November 17, 2017 at 10:50 AM
Lonzo Ball has ridden the bench in each of the Lakers' last two fourth quarters. The No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA draft, who shot 55 percent from the floor, 41 percent from 3-point range and 67 percent at the foul line at UCLA, has made only 30 percent of his field goals, 23 percent of his long-range tries and 50 percent of his free throws through 15 NBA games. Add it all up, and Ball's got a True Shooting percentage (a stat that takes into account 2-point, 3-point and free-throw accuracy) of 36.4 percent — the lowest mark turned in by any rookie clocking at least 30 minutes per game since Woody Sauldsberry of the Philadelphia Warriors all the way back in the 1957-58 season.
