LaMelo Ball’s rookie season with the Charlotte Hornets is highly anticipated

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball‘s rookie season has been waited on since he scored 92 points in a high school game for Chino Hills. Some said then he’d be a No. 1 overall pick, detractors said there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest he would amount to anything other than a high school legend.

Ball ultimately played overseas for two years, foregoing the classic college experience. He most recently in Australia with the Illawarra Hawks.
