Lonzo Ball

PG, New Orleans Pelicans

Lonzo Ball had a great season in his first year with the Pelicans, averaging 12.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.5 triples, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, returning 48/70 value in 8/9-cat leagues on a per-game basis.

Ball did struggle with his percentages, shooting just .567 from the free throw line and .412 from the field, in what could have been an even better fantasy season for him. The Pelicans were excited to pair him with Jrue Holiday and the experiment turned out really well, as Ball was finally able to break out. He even developed some chemistry with Zion Williamson towards the end of the season, in what led to a series of impressive highlights. The Pelicans seem invested in the Ball-Zion duo going forward and the charismatic guard looks to be an elite fantasy option as long as he is able to remain healthy.
