Is the jury still out on Charlotte Hornets star point guard LaMelo Ball? One ESPN reporter believes what you see is what you get from the score-first 22-year-old star, who's entering his fifth NBA season. ESPN's Tim MacMahon joined Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective Show, where he delivered his harsh honest take on Ball's shortcomings as the Hornets' rising star.
“I don't know that LaMelo Ball can play winning basketball. I don't know if LaMelo Ball can be the franchise player on a winner because he's got a pretty empty-calorie game, right? I mean, the man can fill up a box score but his efficiency, despite the fact that he shot the three pretty well, his efficiency is garbage,” MacMahon said.
