New Charlotte Hornets teammates P.J. Washington and LaMelo Ball have a bit of familiarity with each other as the two previously went head to head in a high school game and they seemingly remember that matchup quite well, actually.
Washington, a five-star recruit in his senior season, and Findlay Prep took on 16-year-old Ball and Chino Hills during an exhibition game prior to the 2016-17 season. Unfortunately, stats from the contest were not taken since it was a preseason game but Findlay prep walked away with the win.
Ball said during his introductory press conference that he has a prior history with Washington dating back to that game and, on Wednesday, Washington vividly recalled beating Ball and Chino Hills.
