Magic Johnson 'expects' Lakers to retire Ball jersey

Lonzo Ball was officially introduced as a Los Angeles Laker on Friday after being drafted No. 2 the night before. The team president, Magic Johnson, had high praise for the 19-year-old at the start of the press conference.

Magic called Lonzo "the new face of the Lakers," and he even said that he "expects" the franchise to retire a Ball jersey in the future - expectations are high.

When asked about Magic's comment about hanging his jersey on the wall one day, Lonzo simply said, "I think it's a good goal to set, so I'll definitely be chasing that."

You can watch the full presser here:

At the draft, Lonzo's father, LaVar, told ESPN that his son is going to lead the Lakers to the playoffs in his rookie year. In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live the night of the draft, Lonzo responded to his father's playoffs claim with, "That is definitely the plan."

The pressure is on for Lonzo.
