2. Los Angeles Lakers Select Lonzo Ball, PG, UCLA
Year: Freshman
My favorite stat for Lonzo Ball, who has a plethora of different amazing ones to his name: Of all his field-goal attempts, 38.6 percent come at the rim, 55.2 percent are from beyond the three-point line and just 8.4 percent are two-point jumpers. That's a good reason why he ranks seventh in the nation in effective field-goal percentage (66.7) and 14th in true-shooting percentage (67.1).
The Lakers may already have a point guard of the future, but Ball's efficiency, playmaking ability and passing would allow Luke Walton to move D'Angelo Russell to the 2, where he would likely be more effective as a pure scorer. (Getty)
