The Charlotte Hornets decided to pick up LaMelo Ball with their number three overall pick, but what will define the rookie’s success?
By picking the Ball brother, the Charlotte Hornets have committed to building a young talented roster instead of trading for another waning veteran star. LaMelo was by far the most entertaining rookie coming into the NBA Draft as he opted to show out in Australia instead of playing college hoops.
LaMelo is coming into a unique NBA season as the preseason games start in mid-December, only a month after the draft.
