Former Lakers guard Lonzo Ball feels the Lakers once disrespected Julius Randle during their brief time together on the team.

This postseason, Randle shined against the Lakers, who drafted him No. 7 overall in 2014 and let him walk in free agency four years later. Randle handled the primary matchup with LeBron James and averaged 22.6 points per game in a five-game series win over Los Angeles in the first round.

Lonzo Ball recalled speaking up for Julius Randle when the Los Angeles Lakers coaches expected him to just be a rebounder and screener.
