Analysing Lonzo Ball's way of playing

First thing that call your attention when you see Lonzo Ball is his odd way of shooting. He shots with his right hand but taking ball from left side. This allows him to throw even when he is being defended by the right side. Thus, to defend him you must do it like if he was a left-handed shooter. You must play your right foot forward and keep your left foot behind.

On the video bellow you can see on the first play that he is stopped with the ball on his hands. In this case he is thinking on giving a pass to the man who cuts to basket. He gives a chess pass.

When he gets from back court to the other side of the field and finds a defender he fakes to left and then to right (see minute 1:14) He does it a lot of times during the game. In this case he benefits a block.

Normally when he enters to basket by left side he uses his left hand to finish. Frequently to ring past (1:22) (6:58) When he enters by right side running he finishes with a high lay up (2:09) or dunks (2:29)

Another play that he likes a lot is to give a fast break pass (2:41) He does it a lot of times. Beneficiary of it is almost always the same guy, this forward who looks like a mixture of Spanish player Iturriaga and Scottie Pippen. Also he gives baseball pass to the same player (2:52) (8:36) To posts he gives usually lobbed balls (3:07) (3:19) (7:19)

When he shoots and scores, normally he has his defender on his right side, but as he is a right-handed shooter who shots from left side, as we already said, is difficult to defend, because it is counter-intuitive (3:59) (4:12) (6:00) (9:00)

In case he enters by base line on the right side he uses his left forearm to separate and avoid his defender (5:37)

When he enters by left side and is stopped by a double team, then he passes ball with right hand (7:46) (8:13) and when same happens by right side he passes with his right hand again instead of using left hand. Here is when it is more obvious that he is right handed, however he uses very well both hands.

When he cuts a ball normally uses a very high speed to the movement (9:19)

It would be interesting to observe when he fails, what errors does he make more often, but videos show frequently only highlights.

So watching this video Lonzo Ball reminds me very much of ingenious Croatian Drazen Petrovic in all his movements.
