Weekly Blog 10/27

This article is about the Lonzo Ball and the LA Lakers, and how many NBA players are drawing a target on his back. Lately NBA point guards have been all over Ball like Patrick Beverly and John Wall.

What the reporter did well was that they included a large amount of information from the coach Luke Walton. They also included in-game details of opportunity of what happened with an average performance by Lonzo Ball. For example, giving details on how he would make the next 3-pointer since he missed the first one.

What the reporter needs to work on is use soundbytes from sources that actually fit into the story. They added some from Lonzo's dad, Lavar, that were not necessary and was a distraction to the main topic of the matchup between Ball and Wall.

Overall, I think I need to add a lot more in-depth content when writing about a story or incident that occurred. Even though recaps are much harder, its very important to include as much detail of possible, while also providing the correct information.
