5 Reasons Why Lakers' Rookie Lonzo Ball Is Not A Bust

Toronto Raptors v Los Angeles Lakers
Lonzo Ball is just 20 games into what should be a lengthy career...

#4 Lakers are not far off from a playoff spot, a quarter into the season

Los Angeles Lakers v Los Angeles Clippers
The Lakers are 8-12 through the first 20 games of the season...

Considering the Lakers finished with the third-worst record in the NBA last season at 26-56, the fact that they are only one game out of a playoff spot nearing the quarter mark of the season is not bad.

Lakers are currently at 11th in the standings, not too far behind the eighth spot.

When you look at the fact that the Lakers do not have a superstar on their team, they are playing some decent basketball at times, and if they consistently improve, they could fight for one of the last playoff spots on the season; which would be considered a surprise to many.
