There is no doubt that Charlotte Hornets’ fourth-year point guard LaMelo Ball is a rising star in this league. While his career trajectory is already off to an impressive start, being able to take that next step by becoming a superstar-level player would lead to the immediate potential of the Hornets being unrestricted.
This most recent season saw LaMelo Ball average a career-high 23.3 points and 8.4 assists per game, albeit in a career-low 36 games played. While his field goal percentage (41.1%) and conversion rate from deep (37.6%) took a bit of a hit, the volume increase for both offsets any negatives in this area.
