Rather than elaborating and getting overly in depth about any personal goals for the upcoming season, LaMelo Ball chose to keep it simple.
Really simple.
“Pretty much just go out there and stay healthy for real,” the Charlotte Hornets’ star point guard said Monday during the team’s media day. “If I’m healthy, I’m straight.”
That’s Ball in a nutshell. He’s never too chatty publicly, especially when it comes to discussing himself, and doesn’t offer up a diatribe about anything. But even the 23-year-old can’t be impervious to the obvious: he’s in dire need of a bounce back and reverting to the form that propelled him among the NBA’s elite floor generals.
