D'Angelo Russell Likes Tweet Saying Lakers Shouldn't Take Lonzo Ball

Followers of Russell and Twitter user @Beck_Jordan11 were whipped into a frenzy when in coming across a tweet the latter put out, they realized it had received a like from the NBA point guard himself. "Watching D'Angelo Russell highlights from this year makes me think there is no way in hell they should draft Lonzo. They stupid if they do," the post read, leading many to interpret that Russell agreed with the fan's sentiments.

The parallels between Russell and Ball don't go much further than the fact that they would both come to the Lakers via the second overall pick in the draft order. Many analysts believe Ball would be a better ball handler and court general and that Russell would be better off creating his own shot. But then there are those who believe, as expert David Aldridge does, that Russell's time with the organizati

on may be seeing its last days. “It would make all the basketball sense in the world to take Lonzo Ball,” Aldridge recently wrote. “While the Lakers haven’t given up on D’Angelo Russell, his NBA future looks more off the ball than on it, and Ball’s outstanding and willing passing eye is going to be hard to pass up.”
