NBA assistant coaches shared their verdict on Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball on Tuesday. Turns out, he's pretty good. Ball and Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley will headline the NBA's Rising Stars during All-Star weekend.
Ball, who won the Rookie of the Year award last season, was selected to take part in the Rising Star festivities. He'll be joined by other second-year players like Saddiq Bey, Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton. All four of those players received votes in last year's Rookie of the Year voting.
