The former UCLA star had averages of 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 30.1% from the field and 27.2% from three-point range.

He was traded to the Utah Jazz during the middle of the year (and waived).

As of July 12, Ball still remains a free agent who is available to sign with any team in the league.

Looking At Lonzo

While Ball is no longer the player he once was (due to injuries), he could still be an intriguing point guard to bring off the bench.

Last season, he dished out 6+ assists in seven different games.

In addition, Ball could likely be signed for a minimum (or non-guaranteed) deal.

At one point, Ball was seen as a future superstar when he was taken with the second pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers.

That said, he only ended up playing two seasons for the franchise (before getting traded to the New Orleans Pelicans).

Adrian Wojnarowski (who was with ESPN) wrote on June 15, 2019: “The Pelicans have agreed to a deal to trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers for Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks – including the No. 4 overall in 2019 Draft, league sources tell ESPN.”
