Veteran big man Brook Lopez is set to embark on his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, which will be filled with an entire adjustment to his new surroundings.
Among that will be getting used to playing alongside highly-touted rookie point guard Lonzo Ball, which he recently voiced much excitement about taking the floor with the 19-year-old, according to Bill Oram of the Orange County Register.
Lopez said he has already established a connection with the Lakers’ young stars. He is excited to play with the pass-first Ball.
“I’m just going to wear this huge target instead of my (jersey number) ‘11’ and just be waiting for Lonzo to throw it,” Lopez said.
