Lonzo Ball really starting to pick up his pace in the NBA. If the leader has not really asserted himself as a potential star, an expectation that accompanied his status as second choice in the draft, he is finally gaining in regularity. And he is currently having the best start to the season of his career with 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. Above all, he is more and more precise behind the arc. Almost 38%, following reaching 37% last year.
The 23-year-old remains an interesting prospect. And the franchises are on the lookout if ever the New Orleans Pelicans were to part ways. Indeed, his name was still circulating in the rumors a few weeks ago, just before Zo responded with several very solid performances.

Lonzo Ball would clearly be an interesting asset around Zach LaVine et Lauri Markkanen. It evolves in a completely different register from that of Coby White, the current incumbent, who is a scorer first. It remains to be seen what the Bulls can come up with. If only the Pelicans are still selling.
