For The Win

Back in August, a Big Baller Brand account shared a tough-to-decipher video of Lonzo Ball shooting with what appeared to be a new technique.

Given that Ball struggled mightily with his outside shot in his rookie season, the change was a welcomed sight for the Lakers. And on Saturday, the Lakers shared a clear look at the update Lonzo made to his shooting stroke.

It wasn't the most dramatic change, but the second-year point guard clearly cleaned up some areas of the unconventional form.

While Ball is still bringing his shooting arm across his body (and partially blocking his view of the rim), the release is quicker. There's not the hitch that we've seen in past years, but it's still awfully similar to the form that netted a 30.5 percent mark from the 3-point line.

As Sport Science pointed out in 2017, the shot desperately needed to be shortened.

He appeared to take a step in that direction.
