LaMelo Ball is the first thing to make the Charlotte Hornets cool since Starter jackets. He doesn’t even need his dad to be his hype man because his game does all the talking.
And if he can add a little Damian Lillard with the pull-up three to the Jason Kidd-esque skills he’s already displayed, then he’s got more than highlights in his future. He’s proven he’s got the presence of a superstar and clearly dresses the part too. An All-Star appearance is likely up next.
The question I’ve always had is whether he’d be able to score at the rate needed to truly be on that elite level.
