Following Lonzo's departure from UCLA after his freshman season, Ball's father LaVar was adamant his son would play for the Lakers even before they had been awarded the No. 2 pick in this year's draft. And he stuck by it even after reports of a poor workout with the team hounded Lonzo just a week before the draft.

With bated breath, Lakers fans waited at a team watch party as the 76ers made it official they would be taking University of Washington's Markelle Fultz with the No. 1 pick. They let that breath out with a roar moments later as Ball was announced at No. 2.
As for LaVar? Well, he knew it all along.
