Hornets coach lays out next steps for LaMelo Ball's development

The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year has been in Charlotte this offseason working on one aspect of his game in particular

Hornets coach James Borrego said that Ball has been in Charlotte the majority of the off-season, instead of home in Southern California.
