"Between the way Lonzo Ball runs his team and the way his dad runs his mouth, we occasionally forget there are some other really good players on UCLA. Collectively, the Bruins might be the best offensive team I have ever seen in my quarter century on the beat. It’s not just that they score a ton of points (90.4, best in the nation), it’s that they are also first in effective field goal percentage, second in efficiency and ninth in turnover percentage despite being 15th in tempo. This should be mathematically impossible, but it’s happening, and it is not just because of Ball. Consider that in their two wins, the Bruins had 46 assists to just nine turnovers. Sophomore guard Aaron Holiday, the best sixth man in college hoops, had 16 assists to just two turnovers in the two games. This is why UCLA was my pick to go to the Final Four. They are a talented group of individuals, but they are also collectively excellent. Perhaps Ball Pere might want to acknowledge that during his upcoming media tour this week. "
