After all the drama of the past few months (see: subpar Lakers workout, Josh Jackson rumors, LaVar being LaVar), it turns out that Ball ends up going to the place where we expected him to go all along. I worry about the pressure on his shoulders of playing for Showtime in his hometown. The better career path may be cutting the cord and going to, say, Phoenix, or Sacramento. But Ball's potential, and with Magic Johnson as a mentor, is too perfect to pass up.
