Lonzo Ball Reveals Why He Joined The Chicago Bulls

Lonzo Ball will be playing for his third team on his young NBA career.

The second overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft has decided to leave the New Orleans Pelicans after two seasons.

Ball averaged career-high numbers on points per game and improved his field goal, three-point and free throw percentages. Over the years, the eldest of the ‘Ball Brothers' had shown improvements on his shooting percentages after changing his shooting form.

Ball averaged 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 55 games last season with the Pelicans. He shot 38% from threes and 78% from the charity stripe.


Ball revealed why he left the Pelicans and decided to sign with the Bulls.

"(The Bulls) were the team that stood out that really wanted me for me. I wanted to go somewhere I'm appreciated and can play my game. Chicago is the perfect place for that."


Ball will be the starting point guard for the Bulls this coming season. His defense, passing and three-point shooting are definitely major improvements over Tomas Satoransky for the point guard position for the Bulls .
