UCLA fans should be very excited that point guard LaMelo Ball has already committed to play ball for them in a few years, judging by what he did on Tuesday night.
Ball committed to play for the Bruins when he was only 13 years old, planning to follow in the footsteps of his brother, Lonzo. This is good for UCLA fans, because he scored 92 (!) points in Tuesday night’s win over Los Osos High School.
He drained 37 of 61 shots, including seven three-pointers, and 41 points in the fourth quarter! And yeah, he’s only a sophomore.
Ball’s squad, Chino Hills High School, was coming off its first loss of the season, and apparently, they bounced back and responded well. Lonzo sent this tweet about it after his lil bro dropped 92.
Well I mean that's one way to bounce back after a loss… I see you lil bro 9️⃣2️⃣

He’ll need to play more D, but man, the Balls can really ball.
