Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball has impressed nearly everyone over the first few months of his career, even Michael Jordan.
"I think Melo has adjusted to the NBA game better than any of us ever thought this early in his career," the Hall of Famer and Hornets governor told Steve Reed of the Associated Press. "He has exceeded our expectations so far this season."
Ball was the No. 3 pick in the 2020 NBA draft but is now a top contender for the league's Rookie of the Year award while averaging 15.
