Hornets coach lays out next steps for LaMelo Ball's development
The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year has been in Charlotte this offseason working on one aspect of his game in particular
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Coming off a Rookie of the Year season in which he became the only player in the last 60 years to lead all first-year players in total points, rebounds, assists and steals at the All-Star break, what more could LaMelo Ball do?
Of course, like any young player, he's not a finished product yet.
Hornets coach James Borrego said that Ball has been in Charlotte the majority of the off-season, instead of home in Southern California.
And the two have been working on a very important aspect of the 19-year-old's game.
