By now, many Charlotte Hornets fans are likely aware that LaMelo Ball led the league in usage rate last season with 35.9 percent. While that in itself isn't so bad, the fact that he did so without securing an All-NBA selection has concerned Zach Kram of ESPN. The sports scribe pointed out that 19 of the 22 players to ever log a heavier workload made an All-NBA team.
Making matters worse is that the Hornets star's PER of 19.1 was the worst for any player to finish with a usage rate of at least 35.0 percent in a campaign.
