LaMelo Ball’s first offseason in the NBA will be an important one, as is the case with any rookie following their first season.

For most rookies, the need to get stronger is one of the biggest tasks of the summer and that will be the case with Ball, as both he and general manager Mitch Kupchak stated during their recent exit interviews.
