Kobe Bryant: Lonzo Ball會在Rajon Rondo身上學到很多東西

在得到Lebron James後湖人繼續嘗試完善陣容，包括以一份價值一年900萬的合同簽下了Rajon Rondo。Kobe Bryant認為，Rajon Rondo的加入將會讓Lonzo Ball獲益不少。

“我認為可以學到很多東西。Rondo就像是學生，他對比賽的理解是我認為Lonzo可以學習的地方，Rondo會坐在那一小時又一小時地重複看比賽錄像，並仔細分析比賽中一些細微的細節。我認為這對Lonzo來說非常重要"
"另外，Rondo一直在提升自已的比賽，他能觀察到比賽中正在發生的事，指揮防守來幫助球隊。而防守端方面Rondo也做到很好，所以我認為這很棒。”

引用“I think there is a lot to be learned from. Rondo is a student of the game. How he studies the game, I think that’s something that Lonzo can learn from. Rondo will sit there and watch film for hours and hours and hours, and dissect and pick things apart to the smallest of details, and I think it’s important for Lonzo to see that.

“Also, how he facilitates the game, how he reads things happening before they actually happen. How he can manipulate the defense to make things happen. And also defensively, he gets after it. So I think it’s great.”

網站湖人社區指出，如果新球季Lonzo Ball仍然受到傷患困擾的話，Rondo的存在將會讓湖人持續保有季後賽實力。希望兩人能一直保持健康，也許明年Lonzo Ball會成長得更快。
