Lonzo Ball’s first season as a Chicago Bull can both be considered a success and a disappointment.
Before Ball suffered a tear in his meniscus in late-January, he was playing some of his best basketball of his career. In 35 games this season, Ball averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.8 steals while shooting career-high 42.3% from 3-point range.
Following surgery on his knee, Ball was unable to ramp up his rehab due to discomfort in his knee, which ultimately ended his season prior to the playoffs, where the Bulls fell to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round.
