LaMelo Ball Registers Nice 16-8-5 Line
4 years agoCharlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball notched 16 points, eight rebounds, and five assists during a nice all-around performance in Wednesday's win over Atlanta. He shot 6-for-12 from the field and 2-for-5 from three-point range, while coughing up the ball just once in 24 minutes off the bench. Ball has yet to start an NBA game, but he's quickly carved out an important role for himself which has led to him averaging nearly 30 minutes in January. His shooting could use some work, but the 19-year-old is averaging a solid 13-5-7 line for the month. We'll get the battle of the Ball brothers next, with the Hornets facing Lonzo Ball and the Pelicans on Friday, and it's going to be a fascinating matchup.
