For those of you unfamiliar with Ball, he is a Southern California native, that due to his playmaking ability, seems to be a flawless fit on the Los Angeles Lakers.
That's tricky in the case of Lonzo Ball, whose father, LaVar, is known for clashing with reporters and picking fights with National Basketball Association stars and sportswear companies.
Of course, this Jackson workout cancellation could also point to a promise from the Sixers, we're just now in the dark on their interaction with him during the pre-draft process.
Jackson said he is a "great passer" and his strengths are "being quick, versatile, athletic", but he also admittedly told the media he is willing to work on aspects of his game that need much improvement on, like shooting and ball handling. According to ESPN's Jeff Goodman, he cancelled a workout with the Boston Celtics, the team now in possession of the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Here is the full interview from Jackson following his work out. "Ball acknowledged that the "drills get you exhausted, so you got to stay focused".
May Sets Up Meeting With Irish "Kingmakers"
The unionists have struggled for years with Irish Catholic nationalists who want Northern Ireland to join a united Ireland. Ms May made clear the Brexit negotiations would begin on schedule despite the political uncertainty at home.
The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the team is working on bringing him back for a second workout.
Should he return for a second visit, Ball won't be the last point guard to work out for the Lakers.
The Lakers are doing everything they can to gauge all these prospects and study how each of them can fit on the team before they make a very important decision on June 22. Jackson has yet to hold a public workout for the Sixers, so logic suggests it's the Lakers at pick No. 2 who are whispering sweet nothings into his ear. Father's Day and the 2017 Draft are just four days apart, after all.
