LaMelo Ball named to the Rising Stars roster

The Charlotte Hornets will have at least one representative at All Star Weekend pending the announcement of the final All Star rosters.

LaMelo Ball has been announced as part of the player pool for the upcoming Rising Stars Challenge that will be a marked departure from what we’re used to seeing out of the event.

In short, four former NBA greats will draft four teams of seven from the pool of 28 players. Those four teams will play a mini-tournament. The first round will be to 50 points, and the final will be to 25.
