While Lonzo Ball‘s first offensive possession as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers was a great success, the No. 2 overall draft pick’s NBA Summer League debut was mediocre at best overall.
Late in the first half against the Los Angeles Clippers, Ball got an ideal wide-open look from downtown, yet somehow managed to air ball the shot to the absolute delight of his haters.
