Los Angeles Lakers draft pick Lonzo Ball’s journey to stardom took a monster step Thursday night, and the crowd swarmed him as he left the NBA draft.
Ball exited the Barclays Center, where the 2017 NBA draft was held, and he had to have police escort him out of the building due to the large amount of fans and media trying to catch a glimpse of the future Lakers point guard, according to TMZ Sports.
