League Pass Alert: The five best assists from Charlotte Hornets rookie sensation LaMelo Ball so far

Well, that didn't take long.

In the ninth game of his NBA career, LaMelo Ball fell an assist shy of his first career triple-double. He then checked that box the very next day, leading the Charlotte Hornets to a victory over the Atlanta Hawks with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Ball made history in the process, becoming the youngest player to ever record a triple-double in an NBA game.

It's the highlight of Ball's rookie season to date, but he's been as good as advertised for the Hornets, posting averages of 11.
