While he missed the championship game due to a minor calf injury, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball put up outstanding numbers during the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League.Averaging 16.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and a league-leading 9.3 assists with two triple-doubles, Ball was named the MVP of the league on Monday.Joining Ball on the All-NBA Summer League First Team were John Collins of the Atlanta Hawks, Josh Jackson of the Phoenix Suns, Dennis Smith Jr. of the Dallas Mavericks and Caleb Swanigan of the Portland Trail Blazers.Cheick Diallo of the New Orleans Pelicans, Bryn Forbes of the San Antonio Spurs, Kyle Kozma of the Los Angeles Lakers, Wayne Selden of the Memphis Grizzlies and Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics were named to the Second Team.Ball likely captured the MVP award due to the historic nature of his play. 

While Ball earned his honor, he struggled shooting the ball in Vegas, knocking down just 38.2 percent of his shots. Since his form is extremely un-traditional, whether or not it needs to be altered was a question that arose during the tournament.

Speaking on a radio interview with Keyshawn, Jorge, and LZ on ESPN LA 710 on Monday, Lonzo’s father LaVar weighed in on the possibility of his son changing the form of his shot.

"Oh, ain't nobody tinkering with his shot. He's going to shoot the same way, comfortable, like I said, who cares about his shot," he said.

It’s worth mentioning that Lonzo made 55 percent of his shots at UCLA. Therefore, LaVar believes that over a larger sample size, Lonzo’s numbers will end up evening out when the regular season comes along.

"Here's the thing, he missed a lot of shots in the first few games. They act like the percentage is going to stay there. He'll go about four or five games where he'll go 4-for-5, 6-for-8. It will catch up with him. So it's not a big deal. And it'll come out to a percentage where he's always been, in the high 40s," the elder Ball said.

It’s safe to say that Lonzo has quite the following and is already one of the most polarizing figures in the league.

An MVP award is a nice way to kick off what Los Angeles Laker fans hope is a long, fruitful career for their franchise point guard.
